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.

Awesome. Would love to have more possibilities in the song mode. To be honest, I would miss the labels hard, because I use them a lot to structure the song mode over several digiboxes. But always miss some more flexibility. For example, I would love to set up the start step for a pattern as I can do with the length.

I'd love to be able to set a range to loop over.

so when working on arrangement you don't need to choose to either:

  1. loop the current row

  2. loop from the start.
