Using the Analog 4 as a Drum Machine

that is what I’m doing too… it slowly morphed into a percussion machine for me.

I also use one sound per trig and it’s percussion is layered over my kick, snare and hats which are on my OT which I also use for stems. I then record the tracks of the Analog 4 and OT I want using CUE for transitioning using the “transition trick” that everyone here knows.

this works well for me so far and the A4 makes nice percussion.

So far I have not saved that many sounds… only kits. each kit is the next part of my performance.

I do however know that I am not getting the most out the A4 working this way… having another OT or better yet a dedicated drum machine would free up the analog 4 to do what it’s capable of and allow for more improvisation…
