Members Allerian Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 Very excited to have an analog synth in this form factor with Elektron workflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members liliththekitten Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 looks and sounds awesome and price is not terrible!passed on a Monomachine a while back, I would think I would love one of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of sounds, the sound cloud demos sound a little muffled compared to a YouTube of one of those same demos. Compare these at leveled volume: http://soundcloud.com/elektron/analo...xi-disc-scaaat Could be the way the did the final mix for youtube. I guess they also use different compression and Youtube just sounds better.. Be nice to hear this thing as Waves... May help them sell more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gribs Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 I preordered one. I am a sucker for Elektron gear I guess. I hope Santa delivers it in time for Xmas. So now I get a trinity but without a monomachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 New Analog Four commercial video. And new sounds are up on their website. Now I'm a bit more sold on it after hearing Trance..., Soothing Chords, and Harmonium. http://www.elektron.se/products/analog?section=sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members liliththekitten Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 So it can play chords? Or was it multitracked.Either way this thing is really a winner winner chicken dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members donaldcrunk Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 this thing sounds better and better, congrats to those of you who are getting one. some great sounds for sure, it's got a real 'vintage' personality to almost every sound i hear out of this thing.

It doesn't look like I can plug a keyboard controller into the MIDI In and play chords. I don't even think it can be played by a MIDI controller - the only way to play it is via the onboard sequencer. At least that's my impression.

Actually it can be sequenced via "midi over usb" i.e. from your Daw USB out to A4 USB in - it clearly states so in the FAQ on Elektron's page And I quote - MIDI can be received through the USB port. The port can also be used when upgrading the Analog Four OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The port can also be used when upgrading the Analog Four OS. From what I understand, the A4 sends/receive DIN Sync through the MIDI ports and that's about it. There is nothing on the site that indicates I can plug a MIDI keyboard into the MIDI In and play the thing. For most modern synths, that would be a given, but because there is no support for MIDI tracks within the A4 sequencer - which implies it doesn't send much out of the MIDI Out other than DIN Sync - one cannot help but question what is supported on the incoming side as well. I'm sure the manual will clear some of this up, when it does get posted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Wu Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 no playability thru a keyboard would be kinda silly wouldnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in MIDI jacks if it can't receive or send MIDI note data. That would be like blowing your own foot off with a shotgun in relation to marketing and sales.

Members Bernard Posted November 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 ''MIDI In/Out/Thru with DIN Sync Out'' Sync out only suggests Midi in will be more than just a ''sync''. I cannot see any PDF Manuals on their site (for any product), but I do hope they do one for this, as general release, as that should explain what we need to know Great new Demo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members girevik Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 http://www.elektron.se/products/analog?section=faq Does the Analog Four have dedicated MIDI sequencer tracks?No. Instead it features a dedicated CV/Gate track, controlling the two dual CV/Gate outputs. That's why the MIDI implementation on the Analog Four is a mystery. No MIDI sequencer tracks probably means no MIDI output other than sync. But we shall see when the manual comes out. I wouldn' t mind being proven wrong here. Each new demo is raising my interest in the A4 - well, up from next to no interest other than being entertained by the commercial, to a "hmmm show me more" level of interest. A manual would certainly help raise it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is ext. MIDI seq. accomplished? Elektron?@WeAreElektron@d01 Nope, no MIDI seq. It sends clock and knob twists, but nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still does not confirm the Midi In spec, so some hope remains for that side of it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
