Elektron Digitone Keys 37-key 8-voice Digital Synthesizer with Sequencer
Digitone Keys – Unlock Your Sweet Dreams
Restrictions are for the dreamless: This eight-voice polyphonic synthesizer keyboard is a performance machine that can usher in soundscapes of distant dreams and worlds previously out of reach. The 37-key velocity and pressure sensitive keyboard gives you a whole new level of expression and control over the Digitone’s intuitive sound engine. Multimap lets you configure and assign individual sounds per region, triggering sounds or patterns with the tap of a key, while the ability to use portamento and arpeggio flourishes with the freedom of three octaves. Twist through the looking glass and back with the flick of a wrist.
Sculpt your sound: With the Digitone’s powerful and easy to use FM engine you have Digitone dynamism in keyboard form. A variety of dedicated features put the power at your fingertips. Get maximum control out of the machine with eight new assignable knobs. Choose the function you want for each knob to tailor your Digitone Keys, and then let loose. The freedom to switch between tempestuous and serene soundscapes in an instant is laid out in front of you. In an Elektron first, the Digitone Keys helps you liberate your live show with a flexible mod and pitch wheel setup, allowing you to warp your sound to another world with multiple modulations.

What attracted me to this sampler are the Parameter Lock and Trig Condition features – because, on a per-step basis, you can throw probability percentages, ratios and if/then qualifiers into the mix, and make even a single…
Fantastic digital instrument! This is one amazing product! It takes some effort and patience to get comfortable, but wow it’s worth it! It gets you thinking differently, and I would describe it as a unique digital musical instrument.
