Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Elektron Analog Four.
This 2013 crossover between a high tech analog poly and a minimalist groovebox is VERY similar to the keys version we had on the show a few months back and turned out to be quite demanding because A - I am pianistically challenged and B - I ended up with such an atrocious “time to great-sounding patches”-ratio that I HAD to come back for seconds.
Chapters:
00:00 Intro tune
00:51 Overview Elektron Analog Four MK 1
01:29 Oscillators
02:44 Filter Section
03:06 How to work around the Thin Sound
03:18 LFOs, Envelopes
03:44 More Sound Settings
03:54 Kits, Performance, Unison
04:22 Patterns, Sequencer
04:48 CV/Gate/Trigger Sequencing
05:06 Sequencer Gimmicks, Song Mode
05:21 Analog Four MK1 vs. MK2
05:40 What else? (Pricing,...)

06:35 Jam 2 ( Electro Centerpiece )
08:35 Finale ( Epic Techno )
09:05 VERDICT
