(You can ask for API key for free on discord)\n\n#### If you want help or would like to contribute to development, please join our [Discord community](https://discord.gg/ZFuSuegBMS).\n\n# Prompt examples\n\n```\n\"Use Digitone MCP to design an evolving dark pad using the Wavetone machine on track 1.\"\n\"Use Digitone MPC to design a Dark thick pad using Wavetone machine on track 1.\"\n```\n\nOnly Wavetone machine is supported for now, other machines will be added soon, stay tuned!\n\n## Features\n\n- [x] Complete MIDI control interface for the Elektron Digitone synthesizer\n- [x] Structured controllers for all Digitone sound engines:\n  - [x] Wavetone (waveshaping synthesis)\n  - [ ] FM Tone (FM synthesis)\n  - [ ] FM Drum (percussive FM synthesis)\n  - [ ] Swarmer (unison/swarm synthesis)\n- [x] Comprehensive parameter control for:\n  - [x] All filter types\n    - [x] MultiMode\n    - [ ] Lowpass4\n    - [ ] Equalizer\n    - [ ] LegacyLpHp\n    - [ ] CombMinus\n    - [ ] CombPlus\n    - [ ] BaseWidth\n  - [x] Amplitude and envelope settings\n  - [x] Effects processing (delay, reverb, chorus, bit reduction, etc.)\n  - [x] LFOs control\n- [x] MCP server exposing all synth parameters as tools for LLMs\n- [x] Type-safe parameter validation using Pydantic\n- [x] Modular architecture for easy extension to other Elektron devices\n\n## Demo\n\nWatch Claude control the Elektron Digitone synthesizer in real-time:\n\n[![Claude controlling Elektron Digitone](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EXf6lOTjla8/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXf6lOTjla8)\n\n## Installation and Usage\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.10+\n- [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for package management\n- An Elektron Digitone connected via USB\n- Claude Desktop app (for full integration)\n\n### Installing Dependencies\n\nuv is mandatory for this project so start by installing it:\n\n#### For macOS:\n\n```bash\nbrew install uv\n```\n\n#### For Windows:\n\nFollow the instructions [here](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)\n\n### 3. Installing with Claude Desktop\n\nTo use with Claude AI, add the MCP server configuration in Claude Desktop:\n\n⚠️ **Important**: You don't need to clone the repository or install the packages, all you need is to add the MCP server configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file the MPC server is already published on pypi.\n\nGo to Claude \u003e Settings \u003e Developer \u003e Edit Config \u003e claude_desktop_config.json to include the following:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"Digitone 2\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\"elektron-mcp\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Architecture\n\n- **Base Controllers**: Common functionality abstracted into base classes\n- **Specialized Controllers**: Dedicated controllers for each synth engine and module\n- **MCP Tools**: Direct interface between LLMs and the synth's parameters\n- **MIDI Interface**: Reliable communication with Digitone hardware\n\n## Implementation Details\n\nThis library uses:\n\n- **FastMCP**: For exposing synth controls to LLMs\n- **Pydantic models**: For data validation, serialization, and type safety\n- **mido**: For MIDI communication\n\n## Use Cases\n\n- Allow Claude and other LLMs to create and modify sounds on the Digitone\n- Programmatically control Digitone parameters for automated sound design\n- Bridge between AI-generated music and hardware synthesis\n\n## Future Extensions\n\n- Support for additional Elektron devices (Analog Four, Octatrack, etc.)\n- Pattern sequencing and automation\n- Sound preset management\n- Additional synthesis parameters\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzerubeus%2Felektron-mcp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzerubeus%2Felektron-mcp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzerubeus%2Felektron-mcp/lists"}
