This is a mission focusing on sound design with the A4.
Objectives
Show something you have done yourself! Let’s hear your best …
- Hats, pads, kicks, basses, metal, ambiences, noises, fx, …
- Modulations, macros, am, fm, …
- Plain sounds, one shots, loops, stabs, sequences, tracks, and whatever crosses your mind
Rules
100% Your own work
100% A4
Audio only, embedded mp3/wav preferred
Background
This thread is an invitation to sharing and learning about the design of sounds, methods and techniques specific to the A4 from each other without any need for perfection. It will only live through your active participation.
Similarly to the infamous Science Lab for Syntakt, I imagined a thread where we can dedicate some time to explore and share what can be done solely with the A4.
And while there’s no predefined machines that can be used and abused we might have to focus on specific areas, synthesis techniques or targets to jointly follow along. Or think about something you’ve never touched so far. Suggestions are always welcome!
Goal for every post should be to show something you have done yourself. These can be single sounds you’re happy with, but also entire sequences and tracks. Ideally you tell us how you’ve done it and what made you choose this approach. Sharing of patches as a learning resource for the community would also be very welcome.
Please be so kind to not derail this thread.
There’s many threads to discuss incredible appreciation, pros and cons, tips and tricks, buy and sell, and most things have been (often redundantly) talked about ad nauseam. You’ll find it elsewhere if you want to. Thank you!
Now, let’s go and have some fun! ![]()

The Analog Four is simply incredible as some may say. Even more than a decade after its release it remains a source for all kinds of experiments and sometimes previously unthought explorations. There’s been a lot of threads talking about it – This shall be the place to share the love, impress and inspire through sounds.
Rules
- Sounds: Everything A4 is allowed: Tracks. Sequences. Noises. Single hits, …
- Format: Audio only! Preferably embedded mp3 and wav, so nothing get’s lost over time.
- Words: You may describe how you achieved something, but please keep it concise, distraction-free and to a minimum. If there’s another thread you’ve drawn inspiration from, sharing a link is an option. No discussion.
