Analog Four Experiments

[robjones]

I just bought a Rytm mkii and am hovering over the buy it button on an Analog Four…ive used alot of Elektron machines but totally overlooked A4 until i recently saw some videos of the more experimental and avant garde nature (my ball park🫠).
Any one got some jams,videos or recommendations of artists that use the A4 in this way?
Ive asked the same question for Rytm too as ive found so much great music through them thanks to all you folks for sharing

I’ve gone the other way, just picked up a Rytm mk2 to join my A4’s same vibe as you I reckon, into the more experimental side of the machines.

this is a snippet of one of mine on the A4 mk1. nuffink else.

This thread is full of gems, but I guess you know it already

Isn't the Analog Four the most incredible and deep instrument from Elektron so far?

I recently got chance to get an mki and currently reading the manual and testing it so far, but isn’t the A4 the most incredible and deep instrument from Elektron so far? I currently own an octa mki, a machinedrum SPS1 mkii, a Digitakt, and a Digitone. Thinking about selling the Digitakt and staying with the rest tho I am so impressed by the many different options that A4 allows for sound creation, isn’t it? I am just blown away by it and sounding wise…love at first sight! What a tremendous syn…

You can get wild with A4 FX, check this track, that only makes use of the FX lane:

One Sequencer Lane One track One Box Challenge

Here’s a quick impro on A4 FX track. The project: 240705-SINGLINE.afprj (3.9 KB) Some tips: Beware with the high delay feedback!!! Make sure you have a low master volume at first, possibly a compressor or limiter behind just in case.

Oh yeah now we talking!!! Thats awesome man you got a bandcamp?

[robjones]

[robjones]

That FX track man!!! This has realy got my juices flowing….opened my eyes cheers

[pidgeo]

… and neibour osc

and parameter slides, and sound locks, and perf mode.

mix em all together in a bowl. cook for 45 mins at 90°.

[robjones]

Not to mention 2xlfowith2x destinations each and CV and Velocity modulation internally and its a proper banquet of experimentalism

[pidgeo]

now yer talkin

[Bitsnbobs]

a4 is king - i have dumped rytm countless times but a4 keeps on giving

[wouzer]

But a4 needs an update

[pidgeo]

here, can you cv out to cv in (loopback vibes) on the mk2?
I’ve only just got mine n haven’t tried yet (it’s next on the list, but I’m currently at work)

[Riuozami]

I doubt electron will do an update to the A4.

they are focusing on improving and give new functionalities to the machines that sell more

[LyingDalai]

Yes indeed, you can makes some pretty kicks

[Leonsarmiento]

Dude…this is brutally good.

[pidgeo]

ah jeez, thank you
