So happy to pick up the A4 again

I had been an owner of the A4 way back when it first came out, but eventually sold it off and upgraded to the AK when that came out. While I’ve loved the AK, for some reason it’s never had the immediacy of the A4 for me – not sure why, perhaps the compact size of the A4 or the tiny little on board keyboard that make it really easy to noodle around on while sculpting sounds.

I was excited to see the price drop on new A4s after the announcement of the MkII line. After trying to be “rational” about not really needing an AK and an A4 I decided to pull the trigger on another A4. I’m really glad I did – my passion for synthesis sounds has definitely be reignited by this little box. It’s the perfect size to while away a couple of hours on the couch with a pair of good headphones, coming up with cool sounds and patterns.

While the AK definitely is the winner in terms of playability and performance, I have to say that in terms of inspriration and exploration, the A4 can’t be beat!
