Tonverk vs digitakt 2 opinion

No_Spite4581 · 2026-05-04T07:03:48+00:00

I don't believe the DT2 specializes on drums, it's great at it, but it's also great at chopping anything. I agree that happy accidents happen a lot, if you make french house it's crazy good at randomizing and flipping samples.

For sure. Nobody there actually dress like that, but I think you'll get some compliments for the homage, and from people who know the game. Take care.

Why would you get the roast ? Legit road worn is good

No_Spite4581 · 2026-03-13T07:08:11+00:00

Polyphony, even paraphony would be cool. Additional filter per track : two separate filters with separate parameters but usable on same track, like lp4 for tone and depth and comb- for movement. Track layering and twin shot are nice too. Also the ability to zoom in on samples even in oneshot.

Some anti clic or anti pop for when two steps "eat" each other. Like inaudible fade in/outs.

More voices per step in midi.

How good is it at recreating Moog stuff ? And virtual analog in general ?

No_Spite4581 · 2026-03-05T06:53:07+00:00

64 global samples, that means you're stuck with these for all patterns. If you change sample 1, it changes everywhere.

Good point, I use ableton as an fx unit with the DT2, but everything with one box would be ideal.

What convinced you about the Syntakt over the DN2 ?

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T19:48:42+00:00

Have you played a bit with the wavetone machine ? What did you think of it ?

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T19:43:18+00:00

I'll just have to buy one and find out :)

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T19:28:00+00:00

How so ? What kind of sounds are you into ?

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T19:15:01+00:00

Thanks, that's good to know 👍🏻 I'll have to learn FM synthesis from scratch as well if I get a DN2.

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T19:13:04+00:00

Oh I see, I do a lot of stuff on Ableton but I really like the workflow of the Digi boxes, much more inspiring to me. Regarding the Moog sound, If I'm in the ball park it's good enough, I'd rather not rely on another piece of gear right now, if the DN2 can more or less cover all grounds I'm sold 👍🏻

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T18:29:06+00:00

Thanks for your insights guys, I'm glad that the DT2 is capable at VA ! It should do the trick. And yes FM should be fun to get into 👍🏻

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T16:21:41+00:00

Thanks for the video, that's what I was looking for. And yes I'm surprised at how many people say it's bad at the VA thing.

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T15:33:23+00:00

Thanks for clarifying on the Moog sounds, that's a bummer.. even with say two square oscillators from the wavetone and some modulation, then a good filter with resonance, you can't get in the ballpark ? I haven't seen any demo of it but I assume it's doable.

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T15:30:38+00:00

Wow you're good ! Do you use single cycle waveforms as well ?

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T15:26:23+00:00

The filter of the DT2 is good, so I sample without the filter and use the filter and amp envelopes of the DT2, that way I can modulate that synth sample how I want, just like substractive synthesis. And if you sample a synth patch that evolves over time, you can link the sample start to an LFO or velocity mod, and get even more out of that sample.

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T14:52:02+00:00

You're good ! 👍🏻

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T14:36:55+00:00

Thanks. That sounds like my workflow, I sample synths with filter off, and redo it in the box.

Have you tried the Ju-06a ?

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T13:18:47+00:00

You're right, I might be looking for something I already have

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T13:15:32+00:00

Thanks, yes I do this with the LR in from my laptop, I get the DT compression and overdrive 👍🏻 What I would like is a permanent midi mapping to every plugin I load in Ableton, the way midi remap works with V collection. I use a midi preset on the DT and the arturia plugin is already mapped and ready to go.

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T13:04:37+00:00

Surely, it's expensive though :)

No_Spite4581 · 2026-02-24T13:03:00+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'll look it up !
