Elektron Digitone II

The Elektron Digitone II is the successor to Elektron's acclaimed FM synthesizer, expanding to 16 voices of polyphony and introducing four distinct synth machines. It brings synthesis diversity alongside the parameter-locking sequencer that defines Elektron instruments.

Four synth machines offer different approaches: FM Tone delivers classic 4-operator FM synthesis, Wavetone provides wavetable-based sounds, Swarmer creates thick unison textures, and FM Drum specialises in percussive tones. All share the same filter and effects architecture.

Sixteen tracks can be freely assigned to synth machines or MIDI control. The 128-step sequencer adds Euclidean pattern generation and advanced modulation options. Parameter locks allow per-step sound changes — the signature Elektron workflow for evolving patterns.

Built-in effects include chorus, delay, reverb, and overdrive — all tweakable per-step via p-locks. The color OLED display provides clearer visual feedback than the original.

Who Is This For?

The Digitone II suits electronic musicians who want versatile digital synthesis:

• Elektron users wanting the most capable Digitone yet
• Sound designers exploring FM, wavetable, and unison textures
• Ambient producers using the expanded voices for lush pads
• Live performers leveraging 16 tracks and Euclidean sequencing
• Producers who want synthesis beyond sampling
