Was reading that “rank them all elektron” topic and was surprised to see so many ranking the AR so low. Then there is the comments about its sound that people didnt gel with or how it has small sweet spots, or its not versatile enough.
I havent got much xp with highend hardware so when i first got it i was actually surprised by all it does at the least.
Well my question is what is your impression of its sound? Its character?
What is its strength?
What are its weaknesses?
When i first made a beat on it i was like " Damn! This sounds almost like a finished track! And all inside the machine!!! A little dry maybe…"
Then the filter reso sounds weird, kinda, and the filter envelopes are weird too.
And then the amp env is like not exponential, a reason to rebel, for sure!
The dvco is like out of tune and too “grrrrr” but super unique nonetheless, like it was a mistake that stuck as a " well planed decision", but then they thought well " have you heard any synth sound like that?!" An aquired taste maybe?You know …
