Hi,
Since I am going to return the ASM Hydrasynth today (due to QA issues).
I am currently in a deadlock with myself as to either:
- Go with a Digitone and Moog Grandmother
- Go with an Analog Four MK2
I have a Behringer Crave and a Digitakt already (also Novation Circuit, which I consider selling at this point when I get either of the above).
I know the Moog Grandmother would pair well with the Crave (since its similar to Moog Mother32), but I read/seen that the Analog Four MK2 will pair with it really well too.
Since I own Ableton Live 10 Suite and starting to get the hang of Operator, I am just a bit in doubt with the usefulness of the Digitone.
I know a lot of people say it pairs well with the Digitakt and so does the Analog Four MK2.
So yeahā¦difficult decision. Out of the box, the Digitone can do complex chord patterns due to it having 8 voices as opposed to just 4 on the Analog Four MK2 and then the Moog Grandmother together with the Crave I already own can fix my Analog needs.
Butā¦ I am also intrigued by the Analog Four MK2. It also sounds incredible and you can do funky stuff with the 2 OSC+2 sub OSC to make chord patterns as well to get more out of the voice limitations.
Just wondering then what the possibilities are via the CV in/out and Ext. Audio In when hooking up other analog gear like the Behringer Crave? Can you bring it in as an extra Oscilator into the Analog Four for example? to create even fatter sounds.
I know you can hook up the Audio out of the Crave to the Ext. Audio in and use the Analogās Chorus, Reverb, Delay on the signal. That is great at least.
The Moog Grandmother allows this too, to feed ext. Audio through the Spring reverb for example.
Itās a tough choice. I like the Analog Four, but also like the prospect of a broader sound pallet with the Digitone+Moog Grandmother.
