this design is really wild… beautiful in a way, but impractical in many other ways. it’s almost like they designed it with the retro synth collectors of the 2060s-2070s in mind instead of today’s players.

They do run this whole Blade Runner-esque, cyber-punk kitsch campaign along with the launch :slight_smile:

the campaign was something I enjoyed a lot. I was thinking they will release new wavetable digibox responsible the soundscapes in the promo video.

The thing that excites me about the ‘tacked’ on nature of this hardware is that it’s possible that the 4 extra stereo outs are enabled in software with some extended hardware.

Which means it’s possible that we could hardware hack existing digitones to have multiple outs.

I dig it! Really handy sequencing the Perfourmer with the 4 midi tracks.

Loved the Digitone, and finally got my Digitone Keys now.

Not that it doesn’t have its flaws (strange CV implementation, i.e.), its workflow feels quite natural for me. Also, the keyboard, wheels, aftertouch and the 8 additional new user-assignable knobs make FM really shine. And: thanks to individual outs, the overall output doesn’t sound so muddy anymore.

I like it, although it‘s overpriced. (But hey, speaking of overpriced: I have Eurorack also).

Did they fix the latency of the additional 8 knobs? When I tried the digitone keys at superbooth there was quite a bit of visual and audio latency until the new position of the knobs had been transmitted. Still contending this one VS the FS1R

Yes, works fine on my machine.

I was among those who thought this looked absolutely hideous when it was announced, but after seeing it in the music store and touching it a bit (it wasn’t on or plugged in), the layout actually seemed like it made a lot of sense… chords or melodies with right hand, controls and sequences with left
