Digitone Keys is a 37 key “eight voice” polyohonic digital synthesizer in true Elektron spirit. Compact, tough and “to-the-point”, it is basically Elektron’s “take” on FM synthesis, but of course with a twist that makes it completely unique. Ultra digital
Choose between several FM algorithms with selected parameters and use the power wool filters to work with the sound. Digitone also includes a sequencer and a powerful effects engine which makes it ultra-creative to work with both in the studio and live.
