Don’t feel bad…I’m not either. I’m absolutely terrible.
Autechre made this…
With this piece of shit…
Better than anything I’ve ever done with all the fancy gear I have/had had.

That Autechre track is amazing stuff. Rei Harakami did some excellent work almost entirely with a Roland Sound Canvas too.
I get what you mean man. I might have taken it too harshly at first. At the end of the day its what you do with the gear, not the gear. 100% agreed.
I just want to stress that it is also a perfectly valid and reasonable response to be disappointed at seeing a new release directly after buying the previous one at full price.

Analog Rytm and A4 disappeared from Gear4music on line store.
Weird
I’m pretty sure Thomann just jacked the price in Europe from €1379 to €1522. WTF!
Wow that’s a lot of money
Yeah, it’s almost the Elektron factory price! Either it’s a blip (I hope others don’t copy them) or something is up with the whole supply/demand structure suddenly and they think it’s time to profit from it. On the other hand, if it was an end of line product, it would drop instead of jump in price, I assume. So it’s weird!
Edit: Seems that it’s all just a little bit of history repeating (yeah, Propellerheads reference):
I’ve checked in on the new price for a while now as I’m looking to sell soon. ~1500ish @ Thomann has been the norm for the last month at least… Longer I think
Are you sure? I might be wrong but I’ve been checking there regularly, as well as in the UK, because I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on one soon. Wunjo is London has it at a similar £1259 (roughly €1370), for example:
It is weird cause both Analog 4 and Rytm are removed from the Gear4music website
They usually have in stock between 10-20 units of each
Gah, it’s a mystery. If only COVID wasn’t here to throw a huge curveball into our need to discuss the possibility of new products haha. It’s probably just the virus messing up supplies
At Thomann yeah… I looked once a week or so and it’s been 1500 for a bit
Maybe it fluctuates

Quick question. Do people pay this hyper inflated prices, or is it just a deterrent? Conspiracy.
I guess people considering it for the first time wouldn’t know it was ever any cheaper. But yeah, if there aren’t many left, it makes sense to try and get full price for them
I will be the devil’s advocate. If you want a new high-end-flagship-top-of-the-line-future-proof-high-tech devices from Elektron, you got to give them the ressources.
Moog Audio here in Canada has the AR and A4 discounted.

I just want to salute all the posters here whose antennas said something was up. I don’t know if what has been observed was related to the New Look A4 and RYTM or not. Perhaps a few around this thread have a “Spidey Sense”.
