With 16 tracks, 16 voices, and four deep machines, plus enhanced effects and a compressor, all packed within the familiar Digitone workflow—this is Elektron at its finest. This could very well be the best machine Elektron has created.
The original Digitone has always been my favorite, but it felt somewhat limited. When I tried the Syntakt, it introduced some interesting features but ultimately felt even more constrained. The Digitakt was impressively versatile, yet the sampling-focused design without robust synth modulation wasn’t ideal for me.
Enter the Digitone 2, a groovebox that finally checks all the boxes I’ve been looking for. My only minor gripe? There’s no chord mode yet. Hopefully they will include in the next updates.
