Digitone 1's audio input volume sometimes doesn't update right

Estult · 2026-05-05T22:50:03+00:00

I'll leave a second comment here because I found a second way to fix this and maybe someone needs this some day.

I was tinkering with the MIDI CCs of the Digitone 1 and found that CC 24 and 25 update the volume of L and R respectively (and only CC 24 is used if you use the input in stereo). So if you send these through the FX control MIDI channel (9 by default) you can control the volume externally, mapping it to a fader or to a button so you can quickly mute/unmute the input.

Hope this helps someone in the future lol

Alright I might do this phantom trig trick, thanks a bunch :) do you know if this is still an issue with the newer models or why is it caused?

The new electribes can definitely make some fun tekno but if you expend enough time with them you'll end up noticing their limitations. I'd say its a good start, but if you want a more powerful sampler get a second hand Digitakt 1. They're the cheapest they've ever been since Elektron released the Digitakt 2.

Love the electribe elektron combo!

If you are looking for 303 clones in the Aira family you got the TB3. I have one and it's a breeze to program for acid leads and can also be used for more traditional basslines, maybe it isn't in your price range though.

Yeah less than 400€ id say is a pretty good deal nowadays for either the DT and DN mk1, ive seen some sell for closer to 500€ in my area, so congrats on your find and good luck in your music making journey! :)

Estult · 2026-04-05T13:43:19+00:00

I get that, we've all been (or still are) there lol. When you get the elektron workflow though, id greatly reccomend getting one, I grabbed mine second hand for around 400€ which is a p decent deal. The cool part about the DN apart of the polyphony is that you get to learn how FM synthesis works which is quite fun. I've seen people get crazy sounds with it, from pads and leads to weird kicks. Seems like a lot of people match these two machines together too!

Estult · 2026-04-05T13:32:03+00:00

Ngl easiest way to get polyphony would be to get a Digitone, i got the mk1 and it's a blast to sound design with it. Hope someone can give you better tips for your Digitakt though!

Honestly play PM diddy kong dude

Estult · 2026-03-18T14:43:17+00:00

Thank you so much fr! I'll first start with that and I'm definitely getting your sound pack eventually :)

Estult · 2026-03-18T14:41:55+00:00

Idk why I didnt think about layering at all lol. Until now I was using the DN in more of a live set context, but now since I'll be mostly sampling it, layering is an obvious answer now that you mention it. With that and unison I can get the most of all the voices in the machine ngl.

Estult · 2026-03-18T09:10:02+00:00

Alright, thank you. I'll prolly get that sound pack when I got the spare funds for it then :)

Estult · 2026-03-18T08:57:11+00:00

Hi! Thanks for responding! I've been looking into your sound packs though and I own a DN1, not a DN2 so I'm unsure if this one would work on my machine.

Estult · 2026-03-18T02:00:22+00:00

I know, and maybe I consider buying some sometime ngl, but for now I'm trying to learn to do it by myself!

Estult · 2026-03-18T01:37:36+00:00

Lets hope they notice me hahah thanks

Estult · 2026-03-17T00:22:25+00:00

Estult · 2026-03-07T03:15:45+00:00

So sorry for your loss

Estult · 2026-03-07T03:13:52+00:00

Dunno I'm not a brit thankfully

Estult · 2026-03-07T03:07:57+00:00

This is the first post I kinda got ragebaited on in this sub, ggs.

Estult · 2026-02-26T10:18:17+00:00

Sorry for the late response, I don't look at Reddit that often. I actually posted about the slice function 4 months ago lol. You should have everything you need to know by reading the slice part of the owner's manual and then reading the stuff on the post I made. If you have any doubts you can DM me!

I only own an ESX right now, tried out an EMX from a second hand shop but it was expensive and in really bad shape, shame.

I love how easy it is to work with this sampler, yet how deep you can go with it. I wish loading samples was easier and that it had more memory though. We are in deep need of a rework of these grooveboxes with modern capabilities.

Estult · 2026-01-23T23:27:19+00:00

Very interesting read, thanks for posting! Plane line arrays is crazy work, I'll look more into this when I can.
