About The Tracks - Elektron Digitone Quick Manual

6. ABOUT THE TRACKS

6.1 THE SYNTH TRACKS
The Digitone has four synth tracks. Each synth track holds one Sound. The Sound con-
tains the settings in the PARAMETER pages (SYN1, SYN2, FLTR, AMP, and LFO) together
with the settings in the SOUND SETTINGS menu and the ARPEGGIATOR menu.
To select a synth track to edit, press one of the [TRACK 1–4] keys.
6.2 THE MIDI TRACKS
The Digitone also has four dedicated MIDI tracks. The MIDI tracks are used to control
external MIDI-equipped gear. Each MIDI track can trigger a chord of up to 8 notes with
adjustable parameters such as velocity and length, control pitch bend and aftertouch as
well as 8 freely assignable MIDI control change parameters (MIDI CCs). The MIDI tracks
function almost the same way as the synth tracks, with features such as parameter locks,
LFO modulation, micro timing, trig conditions, individual track length and time signature
settings.
To select a MIDI track to edit, press and hold [MIDI] key and then press one of the
[TRACK 1–4] keys.
6.3 EDITING THE TRACKS
The six [PARAMETER] keys open parameter pages that you use to edit the tracks and
Sounds. The TRIG, SYN2, FLTR, AMP, and LFO parameter groups has two pages To
access page one, press the [PARAMETER] key once. To access page two, press the
[PARAMETER] key twice. The TRIG pages contains different parameters such as NOTE,
VELOCITY, and other trig related parameters. The parameters on the SYN1 and SYN2
pages controls various aspects of the FM synthesis. For MIDI tracks the SYN1 page has
parameters such as CHANNEL, PROGRAM, and AFTERTOUCH. On the FLTR page, you
find parameters for the multimode and base-width filters and the filter envelope for the
synth tracks. For MIDI tracks you find the CC value settings here. The AMP page for synth
tracks hosts parameters for the amplitude envelope and effect sends. For MIDI tracks you
find the CC select settings here. Finally, the LFO page hosts the LFO parameters for the
active track. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to edit the corresponding parameters.
