Should I upgrade from Analog Four to Keys?

daiku1 · 2014-05-18T02:33:06.000Z

I just purchased an Analog Four and before I open it, I have had second thoughts. Like most players, I have lots of good keyboards, so I am not thrilled at more real estate for yet another keyboard, but I am wondering if the additional features make it worthwhile. What do you all think? Did you upgrade from the Four to the Keys? Are the additional features worth the bulk. Are you making use of the 4 outputs? Any feedback would be appreciated.

thanks!

A4 to AK - worth it? Analog Keys/Four

Hi guys, so my very kind retailer has said I can bring back my newish A4 and swap it for an AK just paying the normal price difference. I originally ordered the AK then changed to A4 when I heard about Overbridge and because I thought I could just use Ableton Push as the ‘keys’ for the A4. But it feels like something is missing and I’m not finding the A4 very accessible. Anyway, before I confirm that I want to change it, who else swapped an A4 for an AK? Why? Was it worth it? Thanks guys!

Thanks, the thread was helpful. One question on the display. Other than the distance to the display being different because of the depth of the keyboard, is the display any different in size physically? Does the jog wheel really make changes easier in the work flow?

Display is the same size. The Jog wheel makes some things easier, but it isn’t a huge dealbreaker.
