got my OT couple months ago, my A4 shipped today…joining the A4 party

I read a lot about Elektron’s method not gel’ing with people…guess I’m the opposite.

my wallet is bleeding though

I’m new to the A4 party as well, and while it is mid-priced, I feel it’s incredible value considering it can act as 4 independent analogue mono synths, 1 four voice poly, or any voice combination of that. Plus when you add sound locks the potential is crazy out of one box.

Independant outs for each voice like on the AK would of course be great, but I feel I can manage with all voices being on one channel until I want to commit to mixing, then I can record each voice separately.

There’s something about being ‘forced’ into focusing on composition first rather that mixing I like coming from the temptations and distractions of DAWs and plugins.

Agreed, I think the A4 is incredibly versatile for the money. I would eventually like to record to a tascam dr-40 or similar. As it is now, I’m already frustrated because I want to send all external gear through the OT so I can tweak it… I love the OT…but alas only two stereo inputs. At any rate, tracking says I should have my A4 next week.
