Analog Heat

…and there’s noo way that iOS functionality might become a reality further down the line? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Seems very odd to not make the AH compatible with Ipads.

sonic state demo sounds great…

Right.

I think everyone including us here at Elektron would want that but I do not dare to say yes. Right now no. Overbridge is doing so much more than just being a sound card and requires much more complex drivers than a “class compliant” one.

Yeah, the OP-1 I think will heavily benefit from this! With the crunchy, somewhat flat OP-1 digital sound, the Heat could probably do miracles.

I impulsively almost ordered one today, after watching that Sonic State video! There are a couple of examples that I’ve heard, both here, and on soundcloud, where medium flat source recordings have been enrichened, defined, gotten that face lift needed to take it to new levels.
The destructive stuff is cool too, but for me, all the subtle and rich flavours before the heavy distortion starts to kick in, is what is really catching my ears.

I ended up not ordering. I don’t have the slightest clue if I can afford it or not for the time being. I must sort out some heavy bills this week. :expressionless:

Then we lower our hopes into something more realistic. We’d love little Elektron apps for our hardware!! Sometimes small apps can be really really useful too, you know.

Thats the demo I was hoping for when I was pestering Cenk on the thread for his recent video!!!

Sounds great. I still don’t think I can justify buying one but it does work some magic with pads it has to be said. Still think it would bring out some really interesting vibes with my FS1R running through it.

Certainly see the appeal though. Struck me that you could get a lot of use out of it. You could just use the clean boost on a number of tracks and still make things sound, well, better!

I wonder whether the clean boost, or whatever mode/way, the AH could also do the job of what people seek in the FMR Audio RNC 1773 Stereo Kompressor? (Another piece I think I want, without knowing whether I need it … :wink: Anyway, I would be interested to hear whether it could do a compression job, plus colouring/heating (ideally together)?

They should give you one for free the amount of promotion you do.

Really sold on it now after the Sonicstate video. Was sceptical at first. Really nice feeling to be proved wrong - looks amazing!

Is it also possible to work in dual mono on the Analog Heat?

Wow, I was very sceptical about this box but to say I’m impressed is an understatement. Well done Elektron and Cenk for the awesome demo as usual.
Must buy for sure, octatrack will come alive with this thing.
Also huge added bonus for myself, wasn’t mentioned in the video but looks like it processes in M/S mode also. I use distortion and drive very much in M/S mode so this is a very pleasant surprise.
Jeez my doubts have been thankfully crushed.
No brainer, going to have to buy this thing now. Damn you Elektron :smiling_imp:

The modulation capabilities look to be very smart indeed. I think Elektron have done a great job on that aspect.

I would have to sell some precious gear in order to buy one, sadly.

Actually reminds me of Nitro on OP-1 at some points… Not a day 1 buy for me… but maybe once I get further along in writing of some tunes I could look at it toward the Mastering stage of a project… i’ve always liked the idea of owning a mastering box to thicken things up and this seems like a nice entry point…

I told myself if I bought the API Tranzformer pedal I ended up ordering, I couldn’t let myself buy the AH. I plan on ordering an AH tomorrow anyways YOLO.

I instantly knew I wanted to use it this way when it was announced. My Bluesky verb needs a partner in the OT’s FX loop!

If you’re looking for a “little” bit of heat in the meantime, run your gear through the A4’s overdrive, filters and step modulations…

Question though - does the Heat have a Kit Reload?
