When I heard about the analog keys allegedly being able to achieve ‘deeper bass’ tones than the non key version I my gut reaction was that’s total BS now with the announcement of the MKII and it’s ability to have even ‘deeper’ bass tones I’m extremely skeptical.
Does anyone have any good quality examples of the same patches being played on both the MKI and the AK? Or any videos out there comparing the two with an oscilloscope? (I haven’t found any yet) I have always held Elektron to an extremely high standard for product quality, features, functionality and I’ve even loved their marketing campaigns up until now the teaser videos for the OT the A4 and all the Hector videos were amazing even the bold statements on the boxes “sampling just became a true art form” “this machine is only the beginning” and my personal favorite I forget the exact wording but it was along the lines of ‘we believe making music sound be fun, that’s why we make hardware’ etc etc all very ballsy but they have always had the product to back it up they’ve always delivered and they’ve always known their audience (I’m sure those dystopian future product teasers were not cheap to create but God damn they got me excited about what was coming next) and since then their machines have changed the entire way I work.
Coming back to the point, Is this unconfirmed deeper bass talk just all fluff?
The last thing I want to see is Elektron become Roland (I know that’s a huge exaggeration but I’m really feeling like their being kinda dodgy right now)
