Exciting news for Digi IIs users! Both the Digitakt II and Digitone II are getting a major upgrade to version 1.10, bringing features borrowed from each other, along with several exciting new additions. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new!
Digitakt II
-
Comb+ Filter
The Comb+ filter, originally from Digitone II, is now available on Digitakt II. It offers a unique metallic, resonant feedback option, adding a new dimension to your filter palette. -
Mono Sampling
By popular demand, mono sampling makes its return to the Digitakt II. This joins the existing stereo sampling mode, giving you more flexibility in capturing sound. -
Routable Distortion and Base-Width Filter
You can now choose whether to place the overdrive distortion and base-width filter before or after your other filters. This opens up new creative possibilities for shaping your sound. -
Keytrack Modulation
Another feature borrowed from Digitone II, key tracking lets you modulate up to four parameters based on your keyboard position. Play higher notes to affect certain parameters and lower notes to change others.
Digitone II
-
Chord Mode
Get ready to harmonize with ease! Digitone II now includes Chord Mode, offering even more melodic flexibility. You can activate harmonies with just one finger, select from various scales, chord types, and root notes, and tweak further with modes like Chord Root, Chord Center, and Chord Spread. Plus, add a bass note to enrich the sound and use Chord Memory to save up to 16 chords per pattern for instant recall. -
Overbridge Streaming
With the 1.10 update, you can now multi-stream all of your Digitone II tracks individually to your computer. The rest of the Overbridge features for Digitone II are still in BETA testing and will be available soon. -
Rotating Arpeggiator + New Speeds
The arpeggiator gets a fresh twist with rotation of offsets to create new melodic patterns. Plus, new arpeggiator speeds are now available, which you can connect to the new Chord Modes for even more sonic exploration.
Both Machines
Several new features are now available for both the Digitakt II and Digitone II:
-
Track Swap
Easily swap two tracks, along with all their settings, presets, and sequencer data. This feature is perfect for live shows or just keeping your workflow organized. -
P-lock to Active Trigs
Quickly edit parameters across all active trigs on your page or track, enhancing your editing efficiency. -
Live Record Overdub
Now, you can overdub new notes on top of existing trigs without overwriting them. Additionally, you can record Parameter Locks to active trigs only. -
New Track Select Options
Streamlined track selection adds more control to your workflow.
Other updates include a metronome toggle shortcut, kit previews on Digitone II, a new velocity-to-volume curve on Digitakt II, GUI improvements, performance optimizations, and much more. For a full list of new features, improvements, and bug fixes, check out the release notes.
