— Parameter explorer
Every page, every parameter
39 screens and 300 parameters, in the order they appear on the Digitone II. Hover or tap a parameter to read what it does. Knob letters are shown where the manual names them.
TRIG·2 pages
Default note, velocity, length and probability for the track’s note trigs, LFO and filter trigs, and the FILL and COND conditions.
NOTETrig Note
Pitch of the note trigs. Pressing while turning A moves in different steps from a plain turn — chromatic or in the scale set by SCALE in the KEYBOARD SETUP menu, depending on NOTE PARAM in The PERSONALIZE menu. In LIVE RECORDING mode, TRIG keys played in KEYBOARD mode override it.
DATA ENTRY knob A
Read the full explanationRetrig on/off, velocity fade, fade length and rate, plus portamento time and on/off.
RTRGRetrig
Turns retrigs on or off. Hold a TRIG key while turning A to set it for that step only. Not available on MIDI tracks; see Retrigs.

Linear detune and wavetable for each oscillator, how the oscillators interact, phase reset and random pitch drift.
WaveTone (2/3).OFS1Osc1 Lin Offset
Offsets oscillator 1’s frequency in hertz rather than cents, for a detune that is stronger on low notes and beats at a steady rate.

Read the full explanationEnvelope, level, filter, type and character of the noise generator.
WaveTone (3/3).Pitch, the waveforms of the main oscillator and the swarm, detune and mix, sub-octave, animation and noise modulation.
TUNETune
Offsets the incoming note. Bipolar: 0 leaves the pitch as played.
DATA ENTRY knob A
Read the full explanationMIDI channel, bank and program changes, and pitch bend, aftertouch, mod wheel and breath controller data.
CHANChannel
The MIDI channel the track sends on. OFF switches the MIDI track off. Can’t be parameter-locked.
Range OFF, 1–16

Filter envelope delay, keytracking and envelope reset for the FLTR machine, plus the base-width filter and its routing.
DELEnvelope Delay
Time before the filter envelope’s attack starts. Acts on the FLTR machine on page 1; hold FUNC and turn A on FLTR page 1 to reach it from there.
Read the full explanationFilter envelope, cutoff, resonance, a type control that morphs from low-pass to high-pass, and envelope depth.
Filter envelope, cutoff, resonance and envelope depth for a 4-pole, 24 dB/octave low-pass filter.
Filter envelope, cutoff, resonance, low-pass or high-pass type and envelope depth, inspired by the Digitone I filter.

Filter envelope, resonant frequency, feedback, feedback low-pass and envelope depth for a positive-feedback comb filter.
EQ envelope, centre frequency, boost or cut, bandwidth and envelope depth for a parametric equaliser.
The values sent for the first eight assignable CCs. Each one sends nothing until you switch it on.
VAL1CC 1 Value
The value sent for the CC number chosen with SEL1 on FLTR page 2. Starts at OFF and sends nothing — hold FUNC and press its knob to switch it on, then turn the knob to set the value.
Read the full explanationWhich CC numbers the first eight VAL parameters send; set them by hand or with MIDI learn.
SEL1CC 1 Select
Which standard MIDI CC number VAL1 on FLTR page 1 transmits. Turn to pick a CC, then press the knob or YES to apply it — or hold FUNC and press the knob to MIDI-learn it.
Read the full explanationAMP·3 pages

The values sent for assignable CCs 9–16. Each one sends nothing until you switch it on.
VAL9CC 9 Value
The value sent for the CC number chosen with SEL9 on AMP page 2. Starts at OFF and sends nothing — hold FUNC and press its knob to switch it on, then turn the knob to set the value.
Read the full explanationWhich CC numbers VAL9–VAL16 send; set them by hand or with MIDI learn.
SEL9CC 9 Select
Which standard MIDI CC number VAL9 on AMP page 1 transmits. Turn to pick a CC, then press the knob or YES to apply it — or hold FUNC and press the knob to MIDI-learn it.

LFO speed. The knob is bipolar: negative values play the cycle backwards. Try 8, 16 or 32 to sync the LFO to straight beats.
Read the full explanationThe same eight LFO parameters as MOD page 1, for LFO 2, which can also modulate LFO 1.
SPDSpeed
LFO speed. The knob is bipolar: negative values play the cycle backwards. Try 8, 16 or 32 to sync the LFO to straight beats.
