Warm 80ies sounds on A4/AK: it's possible

I remember reading a lot about problems with creating warm sounds on A4 and AK but i’ve seen a great show at SXSW in Austin this year of a sweet band called Lou Rebecca using the AK as main synth in their setup and it sounded great. Not the typical elektron techno setting. Hadn’t really seen the AK much on stage before this, Josh Mills seems to use not much else.

there’s lots of misconceptions about what’s possible with such a deep synth, but therein lies its strength, it’s super flexible at the price of a bit of immediacy plus it helps if you understand synth sound design
