I saw that. With Cenk dropping little Momonmachine logo signatures in his Elektronauts posts, I am expecting it to be a new digital synth in the Monomachine vein but in Digitakt format. Hopefully, they'll have some neat new synthesis engines to entice existing Monomachine owners to pony up for the new box.
Mind you, I am just speculating. I expect we'll know in a couple of days.

Hopes: 'tone' referring to tone generation. New digital synth. Like an old Yamaha maybe but funner to program.
Fears: Guitar players love the word 'tone'. What if it's another effects box like the analog drive and heat (but focused on digital sounds like Reverb? The freeze reverb in the Analog 4 is quite nice).
Jeers: it's "digit-one" and is capable of performing only variations of the One Note Samba (like the samba patterns of a Korg PSS 50).

An Elektron style OP-1 would make me mess my pants hard.dkcg wrote:The name reminds me of the Casiotone. Maybe some little Electron box with a small keyboard to compete with the Teenage Engineering OP1?
I could totally see it, cheaper to make than a full size keyboard, more portable.
TE has shown there's a big market for cheaply priced cool little sonic doo-dads.

This would be awesome if it was a digitakt style box with 6op FM engine with each page of parameters being the different OPs
Obviously beaucoup LFOs and the ability to PLOCK all parameters and an algorithm lock similar to sound lock. That would be positively tasty. Having a ton of fun doing this with an Octatrack and a Volca FM but it does not have CC access to individual operators.
Analog filters on top would be amazing but even just modulatable delay and reverb would be great.
Also some kind of touchpad kind of like on the VSynth just to control modulation and take me into pad heaven.

jia. a DT style synth box would be BOSS. love that interface so much more than the older Elektron shtuff i've had. almost felt willfully obtuse in it's design?
...... would be REAAAAAAAAAAALLY nice if the update for the DT they keep pushing back dropped. with. you know. OVERBRIDGE MULTI OUTS.
yes please.

music, noise, in progress silliness - http://www.youtube.com/c/behndy
it was my first thought when i had the DT that they should add a cool *modern* digital style FM synth box to it as its brother machine.
and its the most logic one to be brought new to market......in DT toy format: the mono. not ?
just: that they have to be GOOD on it.
has to have some noise engeneering level inside to be top.
but imagine this, a kind of noise engeneering sound WITH FULL p-lock capabilitys.
me, to remember myself: you don´t buy anything new on the market again !
WAAAAAAIIIIIIIT!!!

While it is difficult to speculate on the exact nature of the so-called "Digitone," I feel I must add my two cents to the conversation.
First cent: The fact that the word "ONE" appears directly in the name implies the new machine ought to have a singular function, such as one oscillator or one effect. However, if one believes the word "TONE" exists in the name and not just "ONE" then one believes the new machine ought to play tones.
First cent and a half: We can therefore conclude the new machine either has one of something or plays tones.
Second cent: It would not surprise me in the least to see a smaller version of the Monomachine software in a new box. Common knowledge: the Monomachine used more lines of code than any previous synthesizer. Compressing this code ought to allow Elektron to put it inside a Digitakt-sized enclosure. I, for one, would welcome this development as I've always found the Monomachine code difficult to hack (for various reasons: live gigs, bedroom use, studio recording, etc.).
Second cent + 1: The Digitone or DigitONE or DigiTone needs Eurorack capable flexibility inborn. The compressed Monomachine code needs an update to become the ultimate machine for interfacing with Modular. This means CV inputs and outputs for routing various functions to and from the Modular. Additionally, the inherent complexity involved in A) compressing the Monomachine code and B) adding Modular functionality would crack one of the most difficult synth problems of our day (comparable to an unsolved math equation).
Whatever it is, I am both elated by it and disappointed in it simultaneously as I have expanded my own "code" to encompass two feelings at once.
