Differences between mk1, keys and mk2

Just sold my ak after 5 or so not so productive years. Never fully got down with the dullness of the screen. I plan to immediately pump the cash into an a4 mk2.

I’ll share a different perspective.

I got a ridiculous, too-good-to-be-true deal on a perfect condition MKi.
I set it side by side with the MKii and ended up selling the MKii to fund some other stuff.

I don’t miss a thing. The MKi does everything for me the MKii did.

I’d say if it’s a “first” Elektron machine or you really need the individual outs, go for the MKii, it might be slightly easier to get around on, and the screen is better.
But, if you’re already familiar, save a few bucks and get the MKi, it’s totally fine.

*As far as the CV individual outs, that’s not a problem if you have a couple of trs y cables and you can solder at all, you can solve that in 15min.
