We've been hearing a lot about Elektron's new analog four voice. From the stylish but somewhat obscure introduction movie which piqued our interest, to the sound audition pieces coming online as people get hold of their very own units.
The Analog Four is a new type of instrument from Elektron as it has 100% analog VCOs and Filters which are digitally controlled. Their Machine Drum and MonoMachine have been Virtual Analog and sample based.
Elektron came over from their Gothenburg HQ to give us a closeup look at the Analog Four.
Jon is the product manager and is doing the talking, Jenk the guy making all the sounds.
i make no apologies for the length of the video, its just that there seemed to be so many things to talk about. Also this is intended to be a discussion about the features of the instrument, there are many other videos available that are just audio demos - check them out.
The Elektron Analog Four is available now via selected retailers and direct from the Elektron Website.

As someone who actually has one Id just like to say you are talking out of your arse. One of the best bits of hardware I've ever laid my filthy little hands on. More inspirational than pretty much any bit of kit I've ever owned and certainly the best of the elektron boxes as far as I'm concerned.

An absolute killer synth. Anyone who doubts the functionality of this synth handy experienced any elektron device before. They put as much thought behind the user experience and sequencer as they do the sound quality.
@cresshead
@cresshead 11 лет назад
okay so the little keys arn't vel or after touch but if i were using a midi keyboard does the seq record and play back velocity and aftertouch also mod wheels and pitch bend?
@MadelnMachines
@MadelnMachines 11 лет назад
I think i'm going to buy this tomorrow. Always been wanting to see how I get on with the elektron workflow and this is the perfect excuse. Seems like an all in one dream machine. If i love it I could see myself with an MD too.

I knew I shouldnt have watched this... avoided it for ages but not I want an Analog4! Fantastic presentation and REALLY wonderful sounds/sequencing. What was going on iin one track towards the end really blew me away! The only thing (and the thing that makes me scared of going outside presets with my Mono and MD) is it looks like there is a LOT of button presses! Its similar to other Elektron gear and I should just learn the bloomin things! Wonderful demo - now Want! Doh!

@Brandon G I have here an Analog 4 Mk1 but did not yet work with it, but I think it's worth the price, cause you get also effects and a sequencer with it.

Thanks... I actually decided to ditch my eurorack gear.. Nothing comes close to Elektron in terms of sound quality and functionality. My whole rig consists solely of an Analog RYTM, Analog Four and 2 Octatracks... Sh!t is tha tits! =]
@shug6009
@shug6009 8 лет назад
+No Soul To Sell Sounds like me. Hoarded all sorts of gear, but only use the Rytm and A4. Got the OT but never use it, Rytm does what I need sample wise. Looks like we both drank the Kool-Aid.
@Nosoultosell

Haha yeah man, the eurorack modules are fun to play with, but I needed something I could play live and reproduce performances for shows. Elektron gear has proven to be the best for that, hands down...

What I would like to know is what sounds come from the dark energy when it is in the video? Quite a few amazing sounds are played when it is there and no point in buying the A4 if those Nice gritty saw sounds are the DE instead.

@SRDhain 11 лет назад
id want two of them, but thats just me. Its an amazing piece of kit and really deserves to fly off the shelves and i really hope it does. Itd be absolutely SUPERSONIC if it had 8 voices, but that might complicate other things in the current set up, not to mention the price.

Jenk was just doin his own little thing! XD it was great Although having three people for the review made things a bit awkward and it was hard to get a sense of the machine. I like the reviews with just one person, but I can understand how that would be difficult for this machine

@TizianoCirillo
@TizianoCirillo 11 лет назад
Capable machine, maybe also good as a first analogue piece that can control/interact with additional analog synths. The only worry/surprise I have is that it does not have four individual outputs. Worried about how well u can balance/mix/EQ all 4 voices coming out of it also for external processing. Unless each of the two outputs is stereo and u can pan 2 voces Left/Right for each output. What about USB, does that act as audio over USB? So maybe via USB u can have 4 separate audio channels?
