There’s opportunity to get A4 Mk1 at 60% of Mk2 and I was wondering if it’s worth it? I saw the topics where it’s said that apparently Mk2 sounds “much” better (deeper, with more “bite”), but if I have nothing else to compare it with - that’d be my 1st hardware synth - does it really sound thin and weak? The big plus of Mk1 for me is the much smaller form factor, functioning Overbridge and I understand that firmware updates really improved everything in it, starting from polyphony (note “stealing”) to sequencer. And I actually like its look a bit more.
On the other hand, I plan to get Digitone and Digitakt down the road and Mk2 obviously is more on par with those, when it comes to screen, new encoders, even buttons are the same style as Digi-s. And I like things consistent
So, what’d you do?
