Does AH have holes for screws on its sides like other elektron devices have?
Sounds hot.
very, very niceā¦ can you set a frequency for the eq? or does the eq has fixed bands?
No holes on the sides. Four holes underneath that I think (= unconfirmed) is specifically for mounting purpose.

Clearly states ā2-band adaptable stereo analog EQā in the specification section on the webpage.
So awesome man!

Iām warming up to it being paired with the OT.
For some reason I assumed the signal path wasnāt all analog because of all the digital modulation and such going on; I think I was picturing the A4ās signal path or something with everyone wishing for digital algorithms such as reverb. My mind naturally went for the digital bit reducer algorithm found in the RYTMās signal path. So the AH for sure cannot possibly implement any additional effects like this with OS updates?

In any case, if a bit reduction effect cannot be implemented into the AH, one could easily find an effects box to do that, and my main point is that a bit of bit reduction, a touch of AM, and an envelope modulating the filter while the AH is in saturation mode would surely do a good job of emulating an SP1200. Iād like for someone to try this so I can hear it; thatās a big reason for why I want to buy this thing.

seeing the automation on the envelope makes me happy

Check out the Pittsburgh Modular Crush. For all intents and purposes this is an āanalog bit reducerā. I own one and I agree with Prints in that this could have been a nice circuit in the AH.
EDIT: I was a bit rude in my reply, so fixed it. Sorry, srejv.

Ever sense the AH has been announced Iāve been using the lo-fi distortion effect in my OT a lot more.

Filter is the no. 1 used effect in my OT, IĀ“m always touching that Dist knob in setup page rather than using lo-fi. Although I do use SRR and BRR a lot secondary on top of it if the filter isnĀ“t enough for what IĀ“m after. And I like the filter in this Heat thing too. Just heard some random music thru it and instantly thought: 'hmmm, that reminded quite a bit of āCopy of Aāā¦

Funny to see and hear this and makes me more interested in Elysia than some Analog Heat

One of the main purposes of the EQ should be to do a high pass on the wet signal for bass or kick sounds. So that you can mix the dry signal below lets say 100 Hz with the wet distorted signal above. I hope this will be possible and that the frequency can be adjusted (maybe also with a ābumpā at the filterfrequency like the decapitator does it). Otherwise, the EQ would have little use.
Can it make FM like effects using LFO? Something like AMF/AMD in OTās LO-FI.
Ah crap this sounds so good!
why not both 
whatever the heat lacks in class A circuits etc is made up for mad swedish modulation. you canāt tweak the karacter with your OT crossfader, or you can with a midi to cv converter and control over only 2 destinations (drive & mix). perhaps you donāt need more, for the mastering/mixing types you really might not need all those modulation destinations but elektronās target audience definitely will salivate over these possibilities.
this is coming from a pretty unbiased position i think 
really had my eye on the karacter but i think i will fill my lunchbox with the nvelope and grab the analog heat for distortion/saturation duties on the master bus instead. a little less expensive too (at least for 500 series)

As an acoustic electronic looping string player, Iām part of the new demographic the teaser hinted at, I think. The OT (and now possibly the AH) is the only Elektron box Iāve really seen a need for in my setup, so Iām definitely intrigued! I have a feeling the AH will be much more than its initial specs suggest.
Iād love to hear my tanbur through the AH (and I generally donāt put distortion on it ever) as well as entire mixes through it. Iām thinking it could be a great companion to the OT for me, both live and for studio work. Nice going, Elektron!
