Plughugger has introduced a new hardware-centric soundset for the Omnisphere virtual instrument by Spectrasonics. Based on Elektron’s Digitone II hardware groovebox/synthesizer released in 2024, DT2 is a melodic techno soundset with a touch of ’80s nostalgia.
The original Digitone was released in 2017 as an 8-voice digital FM synthesizer with built-in sequencer. Version 2 expanded the Digitone with more voices, more tracks and most importantly, more synth engines, taking a large step out from the world of grooveboxes into the world of polyphonic synthesizers. At its core, everything in the Digitone II is digital, but apart from just focusing on FM synthesis, the Digitone II now adds several traditional synthesis engines, such as JP8000/Supersaw, Wavetable and Virtual Analog. As well as a very powerful engine designed specifically for FM drums and percussion sounds.
In terms of sound, the upgraded engines in the Digitone II makes it a truly versatile synthesizer and with DT2 Plughugger sampled a wide range of sounds, from smooth analog sounding supersaws to edgy FM basses, leads and drums.
DT2 also includes a separate bonus soundset based on the Roland Jupiter 8. The soundset is on sale for the intro price of 9.90 EUR until April 13th, 2025 (regular 39.90 EUR). Use coupon code DIGITONE2 at the checkout to get the discount.
