Algorithms - Elektron Digitone Quick Manual

In some instances, an operator can be both carrier and modulator. This means that it out-
puts its result as a tone while also using it to modulate another operator. We have divided
the operators into three groups: C, A and B (B1 and B2) to lessen the complexity and make
the Digitone easier to use. Since group B consist of two operators, the parameter controls
for B are macro mapped to both operators.

8.3 ALGORITHMS

An algorithm is a set structure of how the four operators are connected to each other.
Every algorithm gives different sound shaping and modulation possibilities. The Digitone
has eight different algorithms. Each algorithm has two carrier outputs (X and Y) that come
from two different operators depending on what algorithm you chose. It is possible to use
