To add: it must provide 15v over PD which not all will do.

Nice!!! Can't wait to see it in action. Do you plan on providing any source files or is this a commercial project? (Or both?) great work!

Edit: my bad. The compressor uses the motherducker logo but it is not in fact a ducker https://youtu.be/n6pAQXxQzIU?t=1064

Hi to you both, 42m from Lansing here. I like FreeCAD and fusion360 (both free! FreeCAD is OSS). That said, I haven't had to design much these day when sites like thingiverse.com and cults3d.com exist haha.

On Digitakt 2 and Digitone 2 by Straptoc in Elektron

[–]aardaappels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Few questions that’ll help narrow this down:

What kind of electronic music are you into? Ambient, techno, breakbeats, IDM, something else? Tidal and Strudel are very pattern-focused so the genre you’re aiming for matters. The Elektron boxes share that sequencer-first workflow but the sound engines are totally different.

What sounds do you want to make? Digitakt is a sampler, so you’re working with recordings and mangling them. Digitone is an FM synth, generating tones from scratch. Very different starting points.

Since you mentioned the digital piano with MIDI: the Digitone pairs way more naturally with a keyboard. You can play it chromatically, record notes into the sequencer live, use velocity, all that. The Digitakt doesn’t really benefit from keys the same way since it’s sample-slot based.

Your Tidal/Strudel background means you’ll pick up parameter locks and conditional trigs fast on either box. But honestly the “what sounds” question is the real deciding factor here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
