The only thing I wish for is An A16 instead of an A4 with extra sub bass and extra sound depth… haha.
To be honest I feel the only thing lacking from the A4 is the depth of the sound when you compare it to moogs and prophets and things of that calibre. If you try using sounds with no effects at all, a lot of the time, it sounds very plain (Don’t get me wrong though, I have made some deep stuff on it) but it doesn’t come as easy as just playing a few presets on the Sub 37 and being wowed by the very full sound.
To be honest now that I have made a 1 hour set of music on the A4 and have no other melody producing machines (Well I have the Digitakt but prefer to use it for drums and also have the Roland JDXI but that synth is just blah)… It’s nice to be limited to 4 tracks only but sometimes you just need more…
I’m still looking forward to getting an OT at some point as well, would be nice to have a box that’s MIDI-friendly to synths that I could orient my live show around.
Nothing but love for Elektron tho, I love the directions I’m going into since I bought the A4 and then the Digitakt. I remember before buying I was researching a lot of videos on youtube of people performing with no less than 3 pieces of elektron gear on the table, I was thinking, man these guys are sheep, just buying into anything… Today I say I’m proudly becoming one of the sheep
IMO I think if someone wants to do a live thing and they started with elektron sequencers, it would be a little hard to switch to ableton live or any of that other stuff (i judge this on my experience, as I see it totally hard now to switch to ableton and still be able to trigger all that elektron stuff on time and sh**), it just makes sense to keep buying other elektron gear to fill all the voids since everything plays together easily. You greedy swedes have thought this through well played on that haha.
