The full story
Overtone extends Elektron's Digitone II OS 1.12 with four new machines, insert effects, additional modulation and a step-based groove editor. The maker credits Claude Code and reports checking each build in ColdFire and SHARC emulators before testing it on the instrument.
The project supplies a patcher for the owner's official firmware file rather than distributing Elektron's firmware. Its documentation lists compatibility and processor-load limits, including audio crackling when demanding machines exhaust the DSP.
