I picked up an Elektron Digitone this weekend. Wow, this box is pretty sweet. I know I'm late to the party on this and everyone else has had their Digitone for 2 years now, but I'm just catching up with you all.
Digitone enforces a few restrictions, but those restricts seem to keep you focused or thinking about how to do things. I really like how seamless and easy the pattern switching is.
I don't have a whole lot patched up on the eurorack. Bitbox is handling texture with a handful of samples, all of which in this recording I'm triggering manually.
Elements is a fairly new module for me that I'm still getting used to. It's difficult to tune and its sound can be a little "out there", so I decided to take advantage of that, and just tuned it by ear to the main FM lead bloops until I found something that I thought sounded good. The brightness of Elements is patched to the pressure of Tetrapad. Aside from sequencing the little riffs, messing with Elements live for an "abstract" sound was one of the funnest parts of this.
I think what's next for me is being able to bring control from the Digitone into the eurorack. A MIDI to CV module is definitely on my short list of things to pickup next.

So good that it has been saved to my very special "INSPIRING" YT Playlist. Brilliant! AS it happens I am even latter to this party but Digitone sequencer led me to Vector and your excellent video.

This sounds great. Did you get rid of the Vector? Just curious as I got mine yesterday and having a lot of fun with it. Thx!

For most of fall I was focusing a lot on Ableton and getting better at doing DAW stuff. DAWs are great for a certain type of thing, but in the past couple months I've been doing some more ambient droney stuff that isn't sequenced, and also have been getting into groove boxes lately. The Vector is probably the best general purpose sequencer in eurorack format today, it's just that the projects I was working on didn't require eurorack sequencing as much. After a lot of back and forth I did decide this week to let it go, mostly to fund the purchase of some other gear to better focus in what I've been doing lately. It's an amazing piece of kit and you'll no doubt love it.

ferry collider appreciate the response. I’m really enjoying mine...still getting my head around some of the drum part stuff (I think there is some weird Velocity timing that’s causing me some head-scratching), but the melody side of things is working nicely for me. Thx again!

I picked up a Hexinverter Mutant Brains around this same time, and... I don't remember if I used the Digitone to send MIDI out or not. I think I did once. It's kind of a blur, because since I got the Mutant Brains I've sent MIDI in to the modular using several devices (TR-8s, Octatrack, Tracker, etc.). I know the Digitone sends MIDI out well. I used it to control my Prophet 6 for one project. On the modular side, I really have come to like the Mutant Brains. It supports 4 voices, but also has a bunch of programmable trigger ports that can be re-configured to do all sorts of things using the "Brain Surgeon" tool on their website. As an example of how the Mutant Brains can be re-configured to work for whatever you want... one of the setups I configured MB to do was when pairing it with the TR-8s. The TR-8s has a master effect knob, and a delay and reverb send knob. I re-configured the MB to have CV1, CV2, and CV3 to represent the knob position of the master effect, delay, and reverb knobs. This allowed me to use the knob position from the TR-8s as a CV within the modular, basically making other things happen whenever I changed those knobs on the TR-8s. The easy re-programmability of the MB is what I like the most.
