Why a separate forum!

Disagree!
Considering Elektron states the Analog Keys as a ‘Flagship’ Instrument, and although it may share the same OS as A4, it is indeed different enough to make it much easier to find specific Analog Keys posts, issues, tips, midi controller operations that are indeed unique to only the Analog Keys…without having to sift through all the A4 pages if they were to be comingled in same forum.

Using some critical thinking here, it just makes sense. How exactly hard is it for one to peruse the A4 threads separately?

Would you also wish for the new “Over Bridge” posts to be comingled amongst all the other three (A4,AK,AR) simply because they ALL use Over Bridge? I think not.

It might make sense now to merge them, but in the long run it will be best to keep them seperate.

Keep in mind that AKS are just hittin homes, but in a year who knows how big elektron will be and how busy this forum will be. As a moderator of both a4 and ak sub forums, I think we need to keep them seperate in a big picture sense.

My vote would be to keep them separate.

Branbolio · 2014-04-01T03:45:36.000Z

even though similar info relates to both I would still prefer them separate as well

avantronica · 2014-04-03T21:17:13.000Z

the first or second thread from that forum !

it is what it is, but i think AK owners would be wise (and should be advised) to ask any question that’s applicable to both in the A4 forum, keep the AK forum for specific threads that are unique to the few differences

put simply, there’s a broader more established knowledge base in the four community, i don’t browse the keys forum at all, maybe contributed 3 posts, that’s no loss to anyone, … anyways, i don’t see it changing now, it almost has a marketing/consumer-study value to Elektron, plus it’s still no biggie

Uh, am I crazy or did this finally happen?

PeterHanes · 2016-06-28T23:20:37.119Z

I do not know whether you are crazy but Elektron has merged the two forum categories.

ampRepublic · 2016-06-29T12:41:14.708Z

So, A4 and AK are basically the same instrument. Why do they have their own threads?

As a A4 user I have to search both forums, as some topics are only discussed in the AK forum. Otherwise, there are a lot of questions, that were already discussed in the other forum.

Why to make it that complicated and confusing.

I think it would be easier and more informative for A4 and AK users if the topics are merge to a single “A4/AK” forum.

I agree

Why a separate forum! Elektronauts Feedback

@moderator This is a bit daft, no ?! I’m imagining that 99.9% of the questions asked will be relevant to both, i’ll not be inclined to read the keys forum for the sake of it, so i imagine that’ll be the case for other users - so you’ll end up with a ground zero of knowledge in here and a chance that solutions and tips will be missed on both fronts Seems odd that there’s no forum for the monomachine key owners now ! it’s no biggie, but it seems like an odd delineation that won’t help the com…

.
Case in point … I recently posted a useful bit of info, by the time i’d placed it in AR and also the A4 sub forums I thought that was plenty … it already felt like spamming
.
There’s probably some good reasons to keep separate too, but I think there are far fewer than to merge
.
One way to manage is to follow recent activity as opposed to sub forum browsing

Yeah, a lot of duplicates out there.

smokyfrog · 2016-03-04T12:55:31.000Z

Makes sense to me.

This is how I browse the forum most of the time, but that brings up another issue, the infinite scrolling, instead of pages.
