How to Digitone (Part 1): Sound Pool, Multiple Sound Tracks & Save Sounds

A quick video to explore three basics of using the Digitone:

- Create a sound pool (02:23)
- Use multiple sounds on a single track (04:51)
- Save your own sounds to a Sound Pool (07:51)

I am super lazy and super impatient, so reading manuals isn't my preferred activity. I imagine others are like this too, so as I learn more on the Digitone I'll share them here. VERY MUCH FOR BEGINNERS!

Hey all - if the video is helpful I'll make more sooner rather than later. Just post a comment about a feature you'd like me to stumble through!

[AARNOLD]

holy shit ive been playing this one for years and had no idea you could do this holy moly! cheers

[stevelarson]

Digitone has a super steep learning curve. It makes me CRAZY!! So, thank you for making it more understandable and usable. MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Dude... I just recently got a Digitone last week and I am also NOT a manual type of guy. This video right here has been the single most helpful video for me to learn how to start from scratch and build amazing sounds. Keep these videos up, especially on the Digitone, because I could certainly use it! haha

Thanks for uploading this, my digitone was doing my head in. This will also help me navigate my syntakt. Thanks mate 🤙

[SparkySubie]

Great tutorial. Concise and to the point! :)

[FlashRedGo]

Awesome dude! Thanks for the SUCCINCT and spot on video!

[Ghoopty]

Thank you so much for your informative content! Very helpful to a Digitone beginner like myself. Question for anyone : is there a way to program more than 16 measures (4 pages)?

[benearle]

Thanks for this! Already lost two patches on my first day with my Digitone because there was no obvious instruction on how to save a Sound! Pattern, yes, Project, yes... Sound... no.

You can also save sounds to the +DRIVE. Sound Pool is just a BEST OFF, mainly used for Sound Locks on a pattern, within the same project.

Nice and clear tutorial. And great idea to have one book with info for all gear! No more searching for manuals (and then trying to find the one piece of info within them...) Just saved me hours of wasted time :)

[BrillCreem]

This was very helpful, for my first day with Digitone. Thank you!

[howardanderson]

All of these various sound things category have had me baffled....your tutorial was so helpful....thank you for sharing this!

[ernieficklin]

Liked/Subscribed. You showed me things that will work on all 3 of my machines! Thank you sir!

Your tutorial is fun to watch and very helpful. 
I'm more an analog, "one-knob-per-function" guy with a Moog Sub 37, Folktek Mescaline, Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms System 201, Avalon bassline, etc. But I'm very attracted to this "menu diving" Digitone. 
Contrary to my current methodology, I'm thrilled by the versatility and precision of parameter manipulation on this FM synthesis device that includes subtractive filtering. It looks rather logical and easy to figure out, if one is patient. I plan to order a Digitone in a few days. THANKS for making this video.

I so needed this video. Please do more on this device. This is my first Elektron device so I've been facing a steep learning curve. The manual has been good for some things but an explanation of sound pools and why we even needed them has been difficult to find. And as for saving things, well, that's been a random hit and miss experience... more videos on the Elektron fundamentals please...!

[jasonbesant]

This is a great tutorial for getting started...

[jiberingobs]

Thanks for that, subscribing for part 2. You've got a knack for this stuff, keep up the good work :)

[marcuunk]

Thanks for the tutorial, I just spent a hour trying to figure this out then gave up and found your video lol.
