PROJECTS, SOUNDS

5.1 +DRIVE

The +Drive is a non-volatile memory capable of storing up to 128 projects. The +Drive also holds +Drive

Sound library, with the capacity of storing 2048 Sounds. Every project has access to these Sounds.

5.2 DATA STRUCTURE

5.2.1 PROJECT

A project contains 128 patterns. The project also stores general settings and states. The currently loaded

project becomes the active working state of the Digitone. From here it is possible to edit the patterns and

Sounds of the project. Every time the Digitone is switched on, it boots to the active working state, the

active project. Projects are saved, loaded and managed in the GLOBAL SETTINGS menu. For more

information, please see “14. GLOBAL SETTINGS MENU” on page 57.

5.2.2 PATTERNS

The patterns are the primary data container for the Digitone. 16 patterns are available for each of the

eight banks, which means that 128 patterns are available for each project. A pattern contains up to four

sounds (one for each synth track), sequencer data like trigs and parameter locks. It also contains the

settings on the TRIG page and BPM, length, swing and time signature settings. The pattern also contains

all the parameter settings for the four MIDI tracks. For more information, please see “10. THE SEQUENC-

ER” on page 27.

5.2.3 SOUNDS

A Sound is a collection of the synth track settings in the SYN1, SYN2, FLTR, AMP, and LFO PARAMETER

pages. Sounds can be stored either in the Sound pool of the active project or the +Drive Sound library.

The Sound pool holds up to 128 Sounds and the +Drive library holds up to 2048 Sounds. You can use the

SOUND MANAGER to manage sounds. For more information, please see “14.2.2 SOUND MANAGER” on

page 59, “9. PATTERNS AND SOUNDS” on page 23, and “11. SYNTH TRACK PARAMETERS” on

page 39.

A Sound imported to a pattern, becomes an independent copy of the Sound on the +Drive

and is not linked to the original Sound on the +Drive. Instead, it becomes a part of the

pattern.
