8-voice FM Synth, Elektron Style
Combining deep FM synthesis with a familiar subtractive synthesis signal flow, the Elektron Digitone is an amazingly powerful 8-voice synth. And with Elektron's acclaimed sequencing onboard, your creative potential is practically unlimited. Digitone is ready to create with four independent synth tracks, each with a 4-operator FM synth engine featuring eight different FM algorithms. Those algorithms — along with pretty much everything else — can be locked to different values for each sequence step. Factor in four MIDI tracks, an arpeggiator for each track, two LFOs per synth voice, multimode filtering, and built-in effects, and the Elektron Digitone may just be the FM synth you've always wanted to perform with.

The vast sonic potential of FM synthesis
The complex timbres and sonic animation you can create with FM synthesis make it a unique method of sound creation, and Digitone presents it in a welcoming fashion. Each of the four synth tracks features its own 4-operator FM synth engine with eight algorithms. Elektron gave Digitone a familiar subtractive synthesis-style workflow that makes tweaking these voices fun and intuitive. And with the potential to lock a different synth sound into every sequence step, Digitone offers far more sonic potential than most 8-voice synthesizers — or most FM synths in general for that matter.
Familiar Elektron sequencing
If you've used any of Elektron's instruments, you'll be familiar with Digitone's polyphonic sequencer. Trig Conditions and Parameter Locks open up vast creative potential, allowing for each sequence step to have completely different sample and parameter values. The sequencer also features adjustable micro timing, allowing you to add subtle timing variations to humanize rigid-sounding patterns.
Take control of your DAW via Elektron Overbridge
Producers at Sweetwater love Elektron's Overbridge technology. Overbridge lets you integrate your Digitone synth and sequencer right into your DAW, routing audio to and from your hardware via a single USB cable. Better yet, you get a whole graphic user interface to control every major aspect of Digitone, essentially turning it into a plug-in.
