Introducing Song Mode

Swedish musical instrument company Elektron today introduced Song Mode on Digitakt, Syntakt, Digitone & Digitone Keys.

Song Mode has splashed down on the Digis. This powerful feature lets users create, edit, and play compositions made up of dozens of patterns, making it incredibly useful in all kinds of scenarios and for all kinds of artists.

Want to have a deeply customizable backing track, leaving your hands free for other sweet gear? That’s now possible. And so much more. Extend beyond the limits of the 64-step sequencer, giving you the possibility of longer phrases. Create entire setlists in a single song, and use it as the springboard for your wicked performance, going off-piste whenever it feels right. Sequence external devices and have them dancing to Song Mode’s tune, turning the Digis into fully-fledged MIDI beasts.

There are also plenty of creative tricks to explore as well, ensuring that hitting play is only the beginning of Song Mode’s potential.

Keep an eye on Elektron's social channels for the variety of ways that Song Mode can work for you, and download this latest OS at elektron.se.
