Restrictions are for the dreamless
With this ready-to-go performance machine, curiosity is all you need.

Twist through the looking glass and back with the flick of a wrist.

In an Elektron first, the Digitone Keys helps you liberate your live show with a flexible mod and pitch wheel setup, allowing you to warp your sound to another world with multiple modulations.
