What up 'nauts!
I’d like to start by welcoming myself to your fine forum - hope all is well in your various corners of the Earth…
I’m writing to see if anyone else has had the same analog 4 woes as I have, because I’ve now been several weeks without mine and it is causing physical pain to my synth muscle.
So I bought my unit a few months ago, and from the beginning Track 4 was quieter than the others. Foolishly, I thought this may have been intentional, and ignored it for a bit. After I found out it was not meant to be that way, I had passed the 7 day return period of the synth shop from which it came.
The problem persisted through full resets and OS updates.
Soon after this, Track 4 began intermittently making a nasty crackling noise, as well as remaining at a consistently lower volume.
The shop it came from (a legit Elektron stockist, they claim) have sent it to their repair place, where it has now laid since mid-December last year.
So now the repair place says they need the board schematic to know what’s happening, but they also said they’ve had trouble contacting the Elektron lads for any help. I’ve sent them an email too, and hope to hear back, but in the meantime I thought I’d throw a post here and ask -
Does anyone happen to have access to the schematics or information this repair person might need, or know the details of someone who might? I only want to get my whole head back into my analog 4, and stack some of those sweet sweet transistor pulses.
Anyway, thanks for sharin’ my qualm - stay real!
yours,
t-tron
p.s; the most frustrating part is - the polyphonic update has come out while it’s been sitting in the shop… so haven’t even got to hear it that blissful action
