tl:dr - Go get it!
Hello, I’ve been playing with an A4 MK2 almost exclusively for about half a year now. Before that I was kind of obsessed with DN which I sold to fund the A4. It’s a very versatile synth that gives you endless possibilities from weird patches feeding through from one track’s filter to the next to whole performances/songs. Don’t believe the ones who say it’s complicated to get anywhere with it. After learning the layout of the controls I dial in everything within minutes if required.
Only thing I’d say the A4 doesn’t excel at is pad sounds. But that might also just be me sucking at designing these in particular.
If you need more input check these threads: Isn't the Analog Four the most incredible and deep instrument from Elektron so far? and When did you start to have rewarding moments w/ A4
