Love the DN. Sold mine and am regretting it.

Jim Arbon

Those two opening tracks were 💋 👌🏻

what modules are used in the modular?

Charles Nerýs

It’s a shame you don’t have the DNK for this! Sending a track output into the heat then back into the inputs as an fx loop to take advantage of the delay and reverb after was my go to with the AH MKII. With the AHFX it’s less necessary but I’m still diehard DNK! It’s a such a shame they quietly killed it, and when a DN2 gets released I don’t think we’ll see a keys version

I wish I had one!

Ever since I got the Digitakt 2, I've been considering swapping the Syntakt out and reinstating my DN. :)

Welllll… mine is… dead. I missed the live stream so I brought the Digitone and Syntakt into the living room to follow your vid with the aircon on in the evening. It’s been very hot these days. All fine… then in the morning before work I wanted to have a quick listen to what I did earlier, and the Digitone gets stuck on the boot screen… Tried checking the plugs, tried my Digitakt’s adapter, Test mode says all’s ok, reseated the internal flats… Today I tried a Factory reset with Transfer, Overbridge, MIDI interface… nothing. I’m at a loss… any ideas? Here’s a quick vid showing where it gets stuck… https://youtu.be/_l8O2JnQC-8 Looks like time for a service ticket, doesn’t it?

ahhh that sucks! It can take a while to get it fixed

ezbot

Let me know if you do, I am curious how you feel about it
