Okay I’ll play:
Analog Four mk I
Last year I decided that I was going to get back into making music. I’d been away from it for a while. I got an MPC Live, Korg Minilogue and a Blofeld. It wasn’t enough though so I bought a Digitone because I’ve always loved FM.
For a long time none of that stuff really worked well together. One day I grabbed the Digitone out of the pile of cables and sat on my bed and started making music with it. I just kind of “Got it” suddenly and it all began to gel in my head. Full songs all on one tiny machine with only four tracks!
but then a few weeks ago I got greedy and wanted more sounds and tracks so I bought an Octotrack. Oh man, now I’m in it.
The one complainant I have about FM is that I can’t really make very good string and pad sounds with it. At least, not the kind that I like. So last week I got really greedy and picked up a used Analog four mk I for that warm fuzzy feeling. The funny thing is that now I’ve just been sitting on my bed making songs with just that.
I need to figure out how to properly blend all these Elektron boxes together.
