Using AK with DSI Tetra

I’m a new owner of Analog Rytm and I am planning to buy the Analog Keys .

I’m selling my DSI Mopho Keyboard, but really want to keep my DSI Tetra.
Really love the sound, and I think it will be great together with the AK.

One thing I didn’t figure out is if it is possible to use the CV track on the AK to controll and record Tetra.
Can anyone please explain if I can do this, and if so, how?

Looking at the Tetra it doesn’t have CV inputs so you can’t sequence it from the AK. The AK does not sequence over MIDI unfortunately.

ah, to bad!
Can it be possible with a CV to midi converter?

anyway, are there any other machines made for external midi sequencing only?
A piece you can sync.

Yeah you could use a CV to MIDI converter. If you want an Elektron MIDI Sequencer / Sampler Mangler you could look at the Octatrack.

The AK and Tetra are both 4 voice analog machines. I don’t have any experience with the Tetra to know how similar they are but maybe the AK can cover that ground as well.

Hmm, buying Octatrack will be overkill as I already got Rytm and Maschine Studio.
I’m looking for a simpler and cheaper option to use without a pc.

I habe been searching around for different solutions and found there is DIY kits with midi sequencers. Unfortunately, I’m not a DIY guy. Does anyone know a simple, maybe small midisequencer like the Elektron’s to use with Tetra for recording chords live? Of course it must be syncable with Analog Rytm.

Another solution is a CV to midi converter, but I really have no clue about how it works.
Is there a simple solution making it possible to use AK’s sequencer to record/ controll chords with DSI Tetra?

Please, I really need some help on this :slight_smile:

Trying to think laterally, why not use a simple old MIDI sequencer or drum machine, like Alesis MMT-8, Roland R8, Boss DR-5, or Yamaha QY70?

Thanks for the answers!

Just got myself an Octatrack.
I’m amazed on how you can use OT in different ways.
Now it is time to digg around and find out how it works :slight_smile:
