Digitone II: Route LFO to Send FX?

Elektron Gear Digitone/Digitone Keys

Hi, Elektronauts^^

I’m fairly new here, though I’ve been lurking for quite some time now.
I got a question:
Isn’t it possible to route the LFO to the send fx at all?

On the Syntakt this is in fact doable, and one of my favourite ways to make the Reverb sound lush by tweaking the pre-delay ever so slightly.

I went through the manual and the unit itself, but there doesn’t seem to be a send FX destination at all on the Digitone 2…

Am I missing something or is this just the way it is and I gotta deal with it?

You can address midi commands to the FX channel for those parameters, which can be done by routing a midi cable out of digitone back to itself.

For a similar sound to modulating reverb, you can also turn down chorus volume, send tracks to chorus, then send chorus into reverb.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Just tried out the Chorus-into-Reverb method and sounds lovely :slight_smile:

I really wish they would give us control machines. I would gladly sacrifice a track of audio just to be able to control the fx, it’s the biggest miss on the digi machines in my opinion.

that’d be super cool! never thought about this … everytime I read “just do a midi feedback loop” I’m like “nahhh…”

I’d like fx machines, an ability to select different types of reverbs or delays / chorus … or swap a chorus for flanger or other fx though they’d still be global sends.

Machinedrum has machines for controlling the fx, as well as ctrl-all and ctrl-8 (8 performance macros that can also be sequenced) machines. The digi series would benefit so much from these.

didn’t know that! yeah, it’s sad that it’s so spread out featurewise …
