Members Bernard Posted November 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 From the main forum, looks like the press release: ''The Analog Four is the best of two worlds. The power of analog synthesis is enhanced with precise Elektron sequencing for a machine par excellence. This is an analog synthesizer for the modern age. The Analog Four is a four voice analog synthesizer. Analog oscillators and filters ensure the most organic sounds imaginable and the Elektron step sequencer caters for the innovative sound control. With sequencer features like parameter locks and variable length per track, intricate Analog Four compositions can be created quickly and efficiently. Add the completely new and incredibly well-crafted effects to the mix and experience the next chapter in analog sounds. It just sounds right. Not only a splendid sound making device, the Analog Four can also make other gear sing. Thanks to the CV/Gate and DIN sync outputs, legacy analog gear can be controlled in great detail. Sequencer features like arpeggiators and parameter locks will breathe new life in old equipment and make any modular synthesizer rig truly come alive. Live performance features are aplenty. The special performance mode gives direct access to user-defined parameters and direct pattern change makes it possible to change patterns at any sequencer step. The arpeggiator can be instantly toggled on or off for swirling melody lines. Improvising when playing live has never been this easy. The Analog Four was born for the stage. Specifications: 4 synth voices. 2 Analog oscillators per voice. 2 Analog filters per voice. 1 Analog overdrive circuit per voice. Multiple LFOs and envelopes per voice. Elektron step sequencer with parameter locks. Kit and Sound storage. All new hi-quality effects. 2x dual CV/Gate outputs. Dedicated CV/Gate and FX sequencer tracks. 2x External inputs. 2x Main outputs. 1x Headphones output. Analog Four estimated shipping date: December 3 About Elektron Music Machines: Elektron Music Machines are known for creating innovative, user friendly and magic sound sources. Their product lines are widely acclaimed for their stellar sound and unique sequencer capabilities. The company was established in 1998 and consists of a head office located in Gothenburg, Sweden and a subsidiary located in Tokyo, Japan.''

Members Gribs Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 1300 Euros would put it close to the price of a DSI Tempest after taking into account waiting for a 15% off sale at MF making it about $100 more per voice. I would say 900 Euros or $1200 for my upper limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuzikB Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm guessing $1800. $1500 would be good. Anything less would be ideal. They need to keep it competitively priced mainly against DSI but also Studio Electronics. The latter not being as hard to do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hmm, I hope you are not right but I have to agree that it will probably be closer to that despite what I would like to see for the price. I have a couple of desktop analog synths hooked up via MIDI to my OT already... hmm. I guess I will just wait and see. I like Elektron's gear... might have to sell something...

Members Gribs Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 A pre-order notice arrived from Elektron. The unit is coming in at $1149, 1099 Euros, or 899 Pounds. They are taking a hit on the Euro-to-dollar exchange rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members donaldcrunk Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 wow that's cheap. pretty cool! struggling as to whether or not i need this device personally, but boy does it sound fantastic. i had a monomachine in the past, liked some aspects of it but found the loop-based method of melody construction not as much to my liking, especially when using buttons to enter notes. the mini keyboard will improve that experience a good bit it looks like.
