Again, no slight on digital synths. I love my Peak. I love my Super 6. I’d put the sound of either up against any other synth out there.
But they’re not analog. If that’s a thing one’s pursuing for whatever reason, you won’t find it in them… or a 3rd Wave.
Likewise, not to slight Mr. Rossum, but if one is after analogy minimoog or 303 sounds, a ladder filter is going to get you a lot closer.
I have Peak and Super 6 as my two main polys yes they sound great 
So if you already have two main polysynths for polysynthing with, what would you be using the A4 for?
Well basslines, arps and plinks since it that’s all it can handle polyphony wise. But it would be a no brainer if it could double as an analog poly but I accept it can’t.
Yeah, it’s much better to see it as four monos that can do a bit of poly.
But what a set of four monos it is though…
I love what my A4 MK2 can do. I agree, though, with the OP that the limit of four voices/tracks is kinda dumb and pretty limiting. I mean, the MK1 came out 11 years ago, right? That likely means the basic technology in the A4 is 12-14 years old. I find it hard to believe that Electron can’t find a way to increase polyphony to eight voices after this amount of time. Moore’s law may not entirely apply to synth tech, and I do not know much at all about the bits inside my boxes, but chip capabilities have abounded in many other areas.
How do I do the facepalm emoji???
It’s ok, found it… 
Digital chips or analog chips?
There is no fuss regarding the Vermona PERfourMER, why is there any about the Analog Four.
I have OPINIONS, DAMMIT!
CAPS = strong opinions.
STRONG TRUTH
The four in PERfourMER is hidden, and the DSI Tetra is in Greek … Elektron’s mistake was that the “Four” in the name is too obvious. Shoulda called it the Analog mumble mumble four
Ordered one!
I think a lot of people are guilty of this. They write something off because it doesn’t do a certain thing they would like instead of embracing it for what it does do. So I will go with the flow instead of being closed minded this time.
I already have various polysynths. 4 mono’s feeding into a creative sequencer. That’s something I don’t have.
I reckon you’ll love it.
Yessssssss, that’s the spirit!
maybe a used Virus or roland juno x would work for your budget?
this thread man.
