Digitone II – Redefine Sound, Unlock Infinite Creativity

The Digitone II is a powerful synthesizer that puts sound design at your fingertips, featuring four distinct synth machines—Wavetone, Swarmer, FM Tone, and FM Drum—each with its own character and extensive tweakability. With Wavetone, you can morph between oscillator shapes and add phase distortion, while Swarmer offers rich waveform control for complex textures. FM Tone lets you twist and shape your sound creatively, and FM Drum provides immense percussive flexibility, crafting everything from powerful hits to melodic magic. Its modular workflow allows seamless swapping between machines across 16 tracks for synths or MIDI, and combined with an expanded Elektron Sequencer and robust performance tools, the Digitone II opens up a world of creative possibilities.
