My return window is closing so I have to decide soon…
I have my first nearly full track using Elektron gear completed but the only thing I’m really using the A4MKII for is song mode… The Digitakt and Digitone absolutely kill it together. This is making me consider returning it for the Octatrack, which seems redundant at first with the Digitakt but I think could be a great piece of gear, or wait it out for NAMM and potentially get the new Elektron Digi gear coming out.
Do you think I’m simply not diving deep enough into the sound engine? The A4MKII has so many more sound design possibilities than say my Moog Sub Phatty… An insane amount of depth that’s hard to really utilize I feel, most of the time for musical purposes (which is exactly why I will never go modular). Based on the presets it can create some crazy weird mono sounds but I don’t know if that’s what I’m going for.
What do you think? Should I spend a full week using only the A4MKII and see what I can do for the song I’m working on?
