I just gave this a listen. Not at all what I expected, but I dig it.

I’ve been on a The KLF kick all day and listened to The White Room as well as this, Chill Out. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of them. Thanks for the recommendation.

I picked up an Analog Four mk1 last night! I’ve been on a roll with the Digitone lately, really enjoying making music with only synthesized sounds. I’ve also been looking for my first analog synth, and considered a few monosynths to sequence via my Digitakt or Digitone. The Elektron sequencer is just too good though, and p-locking only 8 parameters via MIDI just isn’t enough, so I ended up going for the A4.
My intention is to make some creamy yet gritty tones to complement my Digitone’s crisp ones

Best eurorack sequencer. I love mine to bits. It’s soooooo deep!!!
Thanks! I’ve explored it a bit already, and I understand what people mean when they say it’s not a sweet spot machine. Reminds me a lot of the Digitone a way. I imagine there’ll be a lot of careful balancing acts between a few parameters to hunt for the sweet spots

exactly. there are many parameters that interact with each other. Small changes can make huge differences in the overall sound.
The second filter in peak mode with high resonance can get you in all kind of places, as well as AM, or audio rate lfos on various parameters.
Many things to explore, many tricks listed on this forum. But I‘m very convinced you‘ll find your own

Yeah, It is quite mind-bending how much you can do with it. But also how quick it is to just get started with something small. Very impressed so far, and the feedback loop with the developers are absolutely first class!
That’s fantastic!
Been enjoying the A4 so much lately, but always wanted to try the AK. One popped up locally. Definitely useful enough to have 2 side by side, and the individual outs and advanced interface make the AK a sweet upgrade. Firmware was still on 1.16 or so. Guessing it had never been plugged into a computer before.
The internal rattling and one key intermittently triggering demanded a teardown, upon which I found the below item floating around inside. It has now been blessed.

Not really the latest purchase, but rather several:
A couple of new Digitone sound packs … I don’t think I will be able to explore all of them in one lifetime …

I was considering glueing it to the inside of the frame. It’s survived this long. Need to get back in there. Intermittent key still slightly intermittent key.
I also picked up recently a pair of Klark teknik eqp-kt pultec styled equalisers. I have tried the machinedrum via analog heat, niio track thickener, overstayer fet and vca, compounder and RNC… some are better than others, but these eqp-kt’s are absolutely blowing me away with how large and present the machinedrum becomes. Low end beef and especially high end sparkle. Also beautifully softens the often times harsh highs. Very impressed with.
