Anyone using the Digitone, Digitakt, or other similar Elektron boxes know if there is a basic peak meter somewhere in the UI?
Or is that a kind of thing that makes no sense to use on a synth and instead only on a recording target or destination elsewhere? I'm trying to figure something out in the context of the compressor, in terms of a reference point to adjust each track.

How do people use these Elektron compressors without a peak meter? Isn’t that necessary?

Trying to learn how to use the Digitone compressor and found this really useful video. Have to say compression has to be one of the trickiest things to learn with synths.

Tried to see what it’s like to do something experimental on a Digitone and it’s about as easy to use as an analog modular, I think. Took me about half hour to figure out how to record audio straight into an iPhone camera and had to use the Blackmagic camera app (amazing btw) and a Zoom U24. Used 3 tracks with “probability” triggers and 1 S&H LFO. Just 16 steps, looping. Of course not as powerful as a modular but so convenient and compact.

#Elektron devices are still new to me, and I'm still learning how to use them. And I keep forgetting the shortcuts! So I created an interactive list for searching shortcuts, because I don't want to keep looking them up in the manual or asking questions and trusting some LLM.
I am sharing this with the rest of the world.

I bought an Elektron Digitone II at Wired Tunes a month ago. It’s a tiny box oF Magic.
In this jam, Condukt, running on the iPhone, is giving me a helping hand and fading in the kick and its sidechain compression.
I finally managed to record a #track on my #dawless #elektron setup. It's fast-paced #acidtrance, I guess. Maybe it's time to try something slower now 🫠
