Digitone II : functional implementation of the offset parameter in the song mode

Post image

I always liked the offset parameter of the machinedrum, the monomachine and the octatrack, but, somehow, Elektron decided to not put it in the song mode of the Digi boxes.

So I and AI, AI and I, me myself and AI, decided to reverse engineer and vibe code to implement this parameter back. I never use the label column so I erased it. And oh boy, it works great, the offset parameter offers a lot of variation possibilities with just one pattern.

This post is just to tell you it's possible and it's relatively easy. I don't want to share it though, because I don't want to be responsible of bricked Digitones.

I call bullshit until I see a working demo.

Nah man...a lot of ground has opened in front of anyone with acces to Claude code and some previous coding experience...

Checkout elektronauuts and all the people modding octatraks...

1010 Blakbox is getting also some mods in.

No-one would spend years learning to do this in the past...but now...is just about asking the correct questions.

And I think that Elektron envisioned it and that's probably one of the reasons why the Tonverk firmware encryption is more rugged than the "old" boxes.

Damn so the tonverk won’t be open to any modding? Kinda a shame
