I bought DT and after couple months DT2 was released. I bought DN and after couple months DN2 was released. Should I buy octatrack, so you guys will get the mk3 sooner? 😂
It's not happening. I assume they'll be a new device with a new name that takes over it's role at some point though. I base this on absolutely nothing but a hunch that they'll want it's replacement to have a more intuitive workflow experience. 😂
Here's a hot tip - if there's a sudden price drop on a product line that's been around for years, it's a pretty good indicator that maybe a new version is gonna be released soon. So if you got a good price on your boxes, so late in their lifecycle, then it's a win, and you should be happy to have them! If however you did not get a good price on your DT or DN, and paid full price... then I guess your butt must be very sore, and you have my sympathy 🥹
Yep. You nailed that. I know I will love this device, I'm already dreading the loss I'll take on my Digitone 1 on Reverb, but obviously, yeah, we have to have this thing. Having said that, you nailed the vibe of this video. It was a dreary, burdensome, tedious experience to watch, and I winced at the predilection for (WHAT ELSE) bell sounds. Why? This thing can do SO much, and yet... bell sounds. I give it 10 weeks (or less) before Florian has this on Bad Gear, because he'll go after anything and everything in the spotlight EXCEPT Sequential, which, for some reason, is enshrined in a "must not feature on Bad Gear" category with him. Oh well, fan boys...
With digitakt 2 they got me hyped but with these demo videos I am falling asleep. I am not hearing any good demonstrations of what this thing can do. 16 tracks is nice but give it to someone who makes it sound amazing.
Perhaps it’s because it isn’t showing you an actual workflow example. It’s just a creatively pretty video over an already recorded track of music and narration. I’m sure they may, or someone will show an actual “laying on of knobs and buttons” walkthrough video. I’ve always wanted one of their products but their product line is confusing to me so I couldn’t decide what device I wanted or needed. Not sure now if I should still take the plunge. I’m so undecided.
@@Nick-kb6jd It's a small company that was bought out, as is the usual thing for founders who want to move on. It boils down to money, likely they left for better pay. And secondarily because the company switched direction.
I love that you implemented all the good stuff from Digitakt 2! Can't wait to try it, but it will be hard to change the workflow as I operate my Digitone quite well :D
@@WeAreElektron yes please pretty please :) parameter slide, it’s so pretty on delays (used that a lot with the MnM) and I can imagine it would sound otherworldly on different comb parameters settings and feedback per step… if you see what I mean
ah come on - the videos here are dope - I really like the artists. But it's a biiiit too buchla/hipstery/experimental. Wasn't bad but wasn't positively vibing ... more like "I think we took too much"-vibes 😂
how to you use it in a real world setting? Do you have each "track" or "voice" going into a DAW, or into a mixer into speakers? Im very new to Elektron,
After some research (and viewing loopop's review), I'm convinced! I mean, it doesn't look as cool as my model:cycles 😂... but will add to my wishlist and my syntakt will maybe have a friend soon. The compressor got me good. Thx Elektron ❤
I love how all my elektron boxes are now becoming vintage. This, however, would definitely be worth using alongside my OG digitone. One of the most amazing modern synths, IMHO.
I have to check the manual to make sure I can transfer all my favorite patches from DN I into this asap. I don’t wanna lost all the work Ive done on the original DN
Thanks to Thomann for the quick delivery! Elektron shop was bad 😋 also 80€ more expensive than Thomann and it didn't withhold the many requests from interested people... and instantly sold out.
the voices being so quiet almost drowning in the synth sounds plus the whispering like dont wake up the baby makes the whole ad very painful to watch. still awesome synth but come on
Moving this up to 6-op FM would've been really, really nice. That the FM machine is effectively the same is a bit of a shame. I'll wait for the keys version that never comes.
I miss the quirky European directness of Cenk’s demos. The Americanized sleepy time delivery is a little too millennial podcast hipster. Still amazing updates for DT2 and DN2! Super excited.
At 1:46 , the sign in the background that says, "Create & build safe, healed, and accountable communities. Abolish Prison".... all I could think is "here's a person who's never been mugged, assaulted, or worse"....
meanwhile we have enlightened individuals calling out boomer takes. they're so brave and righteous eh? lmao. it's almost as if the spurious progressive bs is nothing but hollow corporate pandering that creates division...
I'm missing the chord mode from DT1, so I can't make the Dub Techno I was hoping to make, I'm very surprised / disappointed it was left out😫 will the chord mode arrive in an update soon ??

It isnt listed in the bullet points for this, but it has the compressor from the DT2! That's huge!
That voice over though... "fun? big time." in the most sleepy monotone voice ever.
😴 “fun…….. big… time…..”

@@aikighost Yes Cenk, PLEASE show me this now
why are we whispering?
Because they believe they are being cool.
Because they are corny………😂😂😂😂😂
Probably because they're sleepy
ASMR bruh
It’s kind of like a Coen Brothers movie - I feel like they know what they’re doing
I, for one, welcome our new FM overlords.
I just paid off my Affirm! Now you do this!!
I was just thinking "man, I need more than 4 tracks on the Digitone" and here... we... go...
It's never happened to me to fall asleep during a presentation video of a new Elektron.😅
This time it did :/
should go back to the dataline style videos!
@@correiax eh😻
its definitely not a SidStation
@@Osoronnophris no doubt about it, but I found the whole thing really slow, maybe the voices just made me sleepy🥹
@cinemalulli i mean, its definitely not a SidStation, in a bad way
ADHD video to keep you from looking too closely at the panel.
Most of this video is close-ups of people's body parts or other shite throughout the house.
😂😂😂
Just placed the order. I haven been waiting for this for a long time.
Whispering while walking on rice paper
This is ridiculous, who produced this? basic understanding of volume levels for an audio hardware company???
maybe they left the instrumental audio untouched so people can hear what the machine sounds like
Elektron Marketing,
Your next launch should be presented by SUBSTAN!
ah man that dude RULES (I think his son does all the phenomenal VFX). or Ivar Tryti, also dope!
Every Elektron launch should be from SUBSTAN
@@jregras Yes, Ivar rules!!
I'm saying this all the time! Please listen @Elektron - he is master of Elektron for soothing sounds
I thought that this video will be a bit less “creative” and just straight to the point, not sure why but I’m not digging it

sorry bud, everything has to be weird and gay now.
can it do fm
Yes! 🙌
😆
😂
@@fumarolas NOPE. No slide for you (or me). You need to spend another 2k for one of the bigger boxes.
@@fumarolas are you trolling?
Awesome synth, but those voiceovers won't help with your sales, Elektron.
why did they make everyone whisper in this? i never heard ricky speak so softly, like asmr style into my ears
Oh shit that was Ricky😂
I’m struggling to understand what they’re even saying!
Voice over mixed too low.
haha yea it's super weird. Utter failure on the video, it's painful to watch.... BUT... I don't like Elektron for their videos so I can let that slide
someone's about to get pegged
Okay the filter improvements seem awesome
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! been waiting for perform kit for years.
Possibly one of the best synths ever devised, with some of the worst promotional material ever... For the love of god bring back Cenk and Ess...
One has to ask why they left Elektron........
@@Nick-kb6jd It's a small company that was bought out, as is the usual thing for founders who want to move on. It boils down to money, likely they left for better pay. And secondarily because the company switched direction.
Please give us one last update for the OG digitone :(
don't count on it, DTI didnt get anything either
@@tendingtropic7778 it got the machines update but that was a bit before the DT2 release (less than a year before but I forget)
Can everyone just stop whining about updates....good grief.
@@happylittlesynth the complaints will continue, sorry to interrupt your fanboying
@@totaled_camry feckless whining...
My favourite Elektron machine just got 4+ times better. Must buy once I can find somewhere in stock.
I love that you implemented all the good stuff from Digitakt 2! Can't wait to try it, but it will be hard to change the workflow as I operate my Digitone quite well :D
Would be nice if Syntakt also gets 3 LFO in a future update.
"update" = Syntakt II 🫤
@@totalSLACKnoooooooo!!!!
Hyped for this, DN is my favourite elektron box after the OT. So glad to see kits added!! Any chance of parameter slides in the future??
Thanks for the love, Not a bad idea either!
@@WeAreElektron yes please pretty please :) parameter slide, it’s so pretty on delays (used that a lot with the MnM) and I can imagine it would sound otherworldly on different comb parameters settings and feedback per step… if you see what I mean
@@seamouse3259 p slides on all machines !
Thanks for adding the ambient pads section of this video, was what sold me to the Digitone!:)
Awesome synth/groovebox, paired with a Syntakt = killer combo
Where is Cenk? Without him presentation looks like an average video of any gear, but not the Elektron
He quit along time ago
ah come on - the videos here are dope - I really like the artists. But it's a biiiit too buchla/hipstery/experimental. Wasn't bad but wasn't positively vibing ... more like "I think we took too much"-vibes 😂
Hooray for the new Digitone, but the camerawork is making me dizzy 😅
How do you make it through any action movie released in the past decade 😂
@@happylittlesynth I’m more of a drama type.
These new machines feel like a hardware version of Opal, Glanta, and Superberry by Fors
Not surprising, considering that an Elektron programmer worked on them. I still want them as VST plugins!
Same person behind them all :P
Not complaining, btw. I think it looks great 👍
never heard of it
@@Osoronnophris Check them out: @ForsFM
The OG Digitone has been my ambient sketchpad since release. Looking forward to the upgrade 🎉
how to you use it in a real world setting? Do you have each "track" or "voice" going into a DAW, or into a mixer into speakers? Im very new to Elektron,
Ok, now I'm just getting irritated by the whispering...I get we need to hear the sounds, but really? This thing sounds quite cool for sure.
Nice work Elektron! wasn't expecting this, had to order one! can't wait.
I love my original Digitone. Always felt 4 tracks were insufficient. This could be the answer to that!
CAN YOU ZOOM OUT OR PLEASE FOCUS THE CAMERA
Hard to understand, too loud the music.
I couldn’t listen to more than a few moments of the narrators voice. It literally made my skin crawl.
It’s almost overwhelming how much this box has now. 16 Tracks is insane! Wonder if we get midi arp or midi retrig?
@@Cepheid-IDM and 16 midi notes per step hell yeah
7:38 A compressor too? 🔥
What is all of this hippie dippie bologna
It’s a no brainer upgrade for me. Very excited!
it’s impressive. very excited to use this device
thank you Elektron for the hard work
Thanks for the kind words!

Underrated comment
@@crocOchoc but what does he say

I just bought a Digitone for the 3rd time 🤭 I'm not ready for II yet
So here's the thing, if you buy a 4th Digitone, then you'll have 16 tracks, just like the DNII. Trust me, I did the math, it checks out.
Good job, Elektron! And next: Octatrack 3 with Overbridge in the same form-factor please
Amazing, perfect companion for Digitakt II, can't wait, thank you for the amazing machines Elektron! 🙌
so many QOL features they didn't give to the Syntakt - 1 year until another update or already a Syntakt II incoming?
very nice job elektron, on the new release and another stunningly beautiful video
As someone who recently sold their OG Digi because I found FM impenetrable, maybe the machines implementation will make that easier to understand.
I have to check the manual to make sure I can transfer all my favorite patches from DN I into this asap. I don’t wanna lost all the work Ive done on the original DN
Not gonna upgrade my DT1 just yet, but this is definitely tempting. I actually loved the demos in this
Thanks to Thomann for the quick delivery! Elektron shop was bad 😋 also 80€ more expensive than Thomann and it didn't withhold the many requests from interested people... and instantly sold out.

Great but plz dont write scripts with chatgpt :p
any new features for the arp? the only thing i wished for was a random arp
Get Baseck on it ASAP
So when is the new octatrak getting a preview?
can you make the tap tempo button stop blinking wow
@@callmemurphz true
@@fumarolas is bpm that important. im oging ot have a seizure
Happy to be rid of the yellow screen! Nice improvements, overall. Not sure why DT1 can't be updated to use some of these features.
because updates are free, homie 🫤
It’s possible the aged architecture of the original DT1 is not up to the task of running the newest firmware…
@@EVILJAMARR from 4 tracks to 16 on the same old hardware? Remove a USP from the new one? Don’t be moronic.
Because money.
elektron has gone tenderqueer lol
requesting a stimming review
Big time!
Hopefully a Keys version is also in the works?
What about the werid-ass super limited keyboard version?
This is what I'm waiting for.
Just recently sold mine. Good timing 💪
everything about this video is unsupervised kindergarten for adult babies and I mean that in the worst way possible.
Holy smokes. This will be my second Elektron.
Awesome, this is what i need!
Seems really nice but 1000€?
It's really easy to get it for $850 just call Sweetwater and mention the Alto Music 15% off code. Still high but, a little more reasonable.
Straight out of the gate with bell sounds.
Moving this up to 6-op FM would've been really, really nice. That the FM machine is effectively the same is a bit of a shame.
I'll wait for the keys version that never comes.
Love this video and seeing two of my favorite artists featured here! ❤
I miss the quirky European directness of Cenk’s demos. The Americanized sleepy time delivery is a little too millennial podcast hipster. Still amazing updates for DT2 and DN2! Super excited.
Don't blame this on 'Merica
Is the sequencer on the Digitone 2 polyphonic ?
Welp, R.I.P. to my Virtual Analog sound pack 😅 I love it 😍
comb is exciting!
Thank you for a fantastic machine! I’m ordering one!
Beautiful bits and bops!

Are patches from the original compatible? Suspect not as there are new synth machines.
They said that the FM tone machine is the original DT engine, so I assume that means the original patches should still work
