Elektron Digitone Keys

Description

Elektron Digitone Keys

Digitone Keys is an eight-voice polyphonic synthesizer for live performances, with which to create new soundscapes previously inaccessible. The 37-key velocity-sensitive and aftertouch keyboard offers a completely new level of expression and control over the Digitone sound engine.

Digitone Keys is ready to use, and curiosity is all you need. Harness the powerful Digitone sound engine with intuitive sound processing, 8 voices of polyphony, 37 keys, pitch bend and modulation wheels, separate outputs for each track, and brand new customizable controls. The Multimap function allows you to configure and assign individual sounds to different zones, triggering sounds or patterns with the touch of a key, in addition to the ability to freely use portamento and arpeggio across the three octaves.

With separate outputs for each track, connecting to external effects, mixers and pedals, audio interfaces, and modulation sources is easier than ever. Route individual Digitone Keys tracks to process them independently of the rest of the sounds.

With the same acclaimed Digitone sound engine, Digitone Keys combines a modern implementation of FM synthesis with the classic signal flow of subtractive synthesis systems, making it a powerful source of truly unique tones and timbres. The FM sound generators have been optimized for a clean and efficient sound creation process. Simply turning a few knobs, something interesting and musically relevant is bound to happen…

Of course, Elektron's top-notch sequencer is also an integral part of Digitone Keys. Four tracks are available for internal sounds, and four dedicated MIDI tracks are ready for controlling external devices. Use the sequencer to quickly add chords or create melodies by adhering to a specific scale. Add probability settings to individual notes. Create tracks with different lengths. Digitone Keys makes it easy to create complex and musical patterns.
