My cousin Jamie and I had a lot of fun learning about the Digitone! Jamie has basically no background in music so it was interesting to answer his questions and hear his perspective.

Dude honestly this is incredible. There is something about the conversation that turns on a part of my brain that no other how to video can quite do. So simple but really effective - made me buy one
Glad to hear that! Thank you for watching 😊
Love the approach of explaining to a complete beginner. It helps with learning on a whole different for beginners and even medium skilled guys. - thank you
Yeah I like this format a lot and will be doing lots more of it in the future! :-)

Great video Liam, make more of these!
Considering it for sure!
Very helpful guys. Especially for complete beginners. Thanks
Glad to help!
Very helpful, thanks!
It’s a pleasure
Great video 🙌
Thanks for watching!!
I was waiting for that so long 😊😊😊
Hope it helpssss!!!
@@LiamKillen Everything from your channel always helps ✌🏽🙂
This is the best how to format.
Hey thanks for watching :-)
Two heads always better than one ... even should one be a beginner .... Jamie you sure are a quick learner ... so many options ... so little time ... as you guys nailed it ... well done!
Cheers to learning!
Lovely👍
cheers
Dope 🧗♂
Dope sauce lol
Literally got my hands on a digitone y/day. Timing couldn't have been better
Awesome! :-)
Hopefully the digitone gets a game-changing update down the line like syntakt and digitakt did recently.
Would also love the syntakt to get some way to utilize multiple voices for chords like digitone.
There’s a lot of empty spots on the Digitone UI so I’m assuming they’re going to add some more over time
Nice video! However, as long as a voice‘s tune isn’t changed the keyboard starts with C ;-)
That keyboard always confuses me lol
Best thing I learned is just lfo your ratios. Something wonderful will happen eventually.
Yeah that’s a solid tip
I wouldn't consider Liam a "complete beginner"
Heh
Digitone polyphonic midi is a match made in Heaven with the 404MK2
Yes! That's a truly awesome combo :-)
Is your digitone customized with decals? Or is it some special edition? Looks sick!
Customized! No special edition here :-)
@@LiamKillenVery Sexy 😏
At 4min, don't you mix up voice and track? I though the digitone has 8 voices?
I should have specified that the Digitone has 4 internal tracks - which i called voices. Sorry to mix those up
It also has 4 midi tracks which i did not mention in this video as I feel that's a little more advanced.
@@LiamKillen yeah i was just getting a bit confused, because I was on the point to buy it and I was not sure anymore :p but at the end I was double checking on Elektron website to be sure ;-)
make one for the digitakt I beg 😂
Noted!!
I find the size of this box appealing but every video I looked at, my main impression is how rattley the buttons are
I love that about the Elektron devices
The clicky buttons are a delight to use: a very nice tactile element that's part of the experience of (most) Elektron devices.
Just got my hands on a used digitone yesterday and this was my first thought. Looks so well built but buttons feel weak af
it seems like a lot of YTers exaggerate their clicking on the Elektron boxes
@@LiamKillen it just seems like an odd design choice to give an audio production device loud clicky buttons like a 1970s typewriter. You dont get distracted by it? can you hear it through headphones?
*workaround - sample the button clicks and use them as percussion (sure someone must have done this)
Here I change the algorithm, it influences how the operators influence the carrier, just make sure the ratios are in a pleasant division.
Uuuh oke, thanks, i guess 🙂
Or sometimes very unpleasant 😏
Nothing with Elektron is simple lol
Once you get the workflow though it's smooth AF !
You seem like someone who would be interested in joining up w/ the old Discord- we talk Elektron all the time :-) discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
@@LiamKillen Especially the Octatrack that is over engineered big time.
Boomers vibes 🦾🫀
I ain't a boomer! I'm a millenial! :-)
You guys make this machine sound like a children's toy. Show folks how to use this is a real production and we might be impressed. Waste of time!
This guy fux ⬆️
@@LiamKillenDo better!
Dude you’re confusing timbres with voices. Right off the bat
I am a confused individual so it checks out.
I wouldn't consider Liam a "complete beginner"
Lol
