Digitone - Dealing with Clicks and Voice Stealing (Understanding Voice Management)

The Digitone is an instrument that provides the player with a great deal of freedom and control to bend the synthesis engine into all sorts of wonderful shapes. But that freedom includes opportunities to make decisions that can lead to undesirable results.

One such "undesirable result" comes in the form of nasty clicks and harshly cut off sounds; so in this video I take a look at some of the causes of these artefacts and, through exploring voice management and some key areas of the synthesis engine, discuss how to avoid them.

One of the most credible channels related to synth stuff - I really respect the way you do things.

Thank you for this, you should be payed for this. The clarity and conciseness of your explanations is next to none.

I regularly get clicks in my bass patches, this is super useful. More Digitone knowledge videos please!

As a new digitone owner, I’ll probably need to rewatch this several times, but this was such a clear walkthrough and explanation. I’ll be sure to go back and watch all your other videos on this magic box as well; this had a real “missing manual” feel to it that was SO useful. Thank you!

Ah I think I've finally planned out my initial Eurorack purchases...I believe I have everything covered that's not going to be insanely expensive and complex right off the bat. Oh what's this new video from Oscillator Sink? Damnit you've gone and reminded me that I wanted a DN again!

[MilesKvndra]

Another great video mate and an important topic! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. 🙏🏻

[bryceheffinger]

Perfect timing I was running into clicks the other day didn’t know about a couple of these solutions, cool thanks !

[fully_privatized_mass_medium]

super important / very overlooked / easy to understand. thanks so much

[brownsugarbar]

You always put the things into particle usable situations. Much more rich to watch your video than what just reading the manuel will give us. Thank you very much for this tutorial. It enlightened a lot.

Here I am learning more about this awesome machine. After playing with it some I realize it's going to take a little time to master it before I can get serious about making songs with it. Thank you for the tutorials 🙏

Thank you so much! I had just finished a score composition and noticed in the mix process I was having these nasty clicks because of the phase reset. Easy fix, didn't changed the sound at all apart from removing the nasty click. Just subscribed to your channel, great content!

[jackleeder]

Very neatly explained. Awesomely useful. Thanks!

I also had issues with voice stealing when using portamento, with just a baseline and a drum track. It just stoped gliding until I locked voices.

After buying a DT months ago, I just get a DN and this is super useful. Cheers!

[JUSTO]

Always wanted to know some of this stuff but I'm to lazy to go check the manual, great vid

[janpienkowski]

Thank you for this super useful and well explained video ! I try to push the Digitone to its limits and as a result I sometimes end up with these voice stealing clicks. This was exactly what I needed to understand what is happening and within minutes all my clicks were gone!

[damooro]

Thank you so much for your teaching. I like the way you do that.

[filipzawadzki]

Its Doing this way because the code that drives the OSC ind it's ADSR doesn't manage to get in into 0 before the next note is played. Some good programmer/coder could be able to manage that... They've been able to manage hat in Roland System-8.

大いに勉強になりました。ありがとうございます。

This is an excellent video. Should be pinned to Electronauts at the very top of the Digitone category.
