Questions people ask about this model

What is the difference between a Digitone and a Digitakt?

The Digitone is an FM synth; the Digitakt is a sampler. They share the same layout and sequencer and are often used together.

What wears on a used Digitone?

The encoders, which can jump or skip values, and the trig keys. Turn every encoder slowly and watch the screen.

Is a Digitone a good flip?

It sells very fast at the right price. The margin is in units listed without the power supply or with a vague title.

Selling one on

Real synths (Korg, Roland, Moog, Novation, Arturia, Nord) sell very fast. Home arranger keyboards (Yamaha PSR, Casio CT) are slow and low-margin unless free.

Boxable up to 61 keys; 76/88 key units are collection or expensive courier.

Where this price comes from

This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Elektron Digitone in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.

The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
