Analog Four MK2 Quickstart Tutorial | How to groovebox with only 4 voices

So, my Analog Rytm MK2 is out for repair, and I don't have any other drum machines at the moment. I thought this was a good time to try using my A4 as a groovebox despite it only having 4 voices. I think it went pretty alright.
Let me know what you thought!

Thank you for the video. Very helpful on the workflow. Sounds great!! Only having 4 voices limitation makes you work harder, but final result is satisfying. Still learning my A4 everytime I sit down with it.

Perfect job ! I was looking for information on the A4 because I plan to buy one, it is definitely the machine that I need with the Octatrack ! Thanks for the video :)

Great. I have a a4mkII since like 2 months, and just got a Rytm II 2 or 3 days ago. I think the Rytm just from the factory Patterns is more Punchy, Loud and in your face Raw, Low Endish....but the A4 can also do a great job, and is more flexible for the proper other Synth works.

@sindre.pedersen 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah the Rytm is definitely easier to get raw and punchy with, but I do believe that with some love the A4 is more than capable of being nasty. It does however take more work.

Just got man today. While I have mostly digital synthesizers, my only analog synthesizer is a Pioneer AS-1 (monophonic), I wanted an analog synthesizer. I wanted a Prophet. However, what really pushed me getting the Analog IV MKII is the sequencer. It just makes things so much easier if your DAWLESS.

i want to get one of these for drums specifically, ehat do you think? still use it for drums? kinda dig this more than the rytm for whatever reason

Gives deeper sound design than the AR, but will take way more time to program. Depends what you want tbh.

Hi. You go to settings, project and load an empty one. You can also clear a project in the project manager to initialize it.

Hi - I just received a used Analog MKII that appears in excellent condition. But after testing all the functionality, pushing down on the Sound Browser knob doesn’t always work to select menu items. I have to push the knob two or three times before it goes to a new menu page. This doesnt always happen - it works more than it doesn’t. Is this a known issue with this knob? Everything else seems to be working fine.

@sindre.pedersen Жыл бұрын

Sounds like a fault, but just use the YES button - it’s more reliable anyways

@GrootsieTheDog Жыл бұрын

@@sindre.pedersen Thanks for the advice :) Ya, its in near mint, everything else works great and even the encoder works when you use it to adjust larger increments (when pushing in the knob). I got it for 900.00 So maybe just keep it and get the encoder fixed at some point?

@@sindre.pedersen Elektron got back to me and told me it’s a known issue to be fixed in update. They also gave me the same good advice you gave and to use the arrow keys and yes/no keys. Thanks!

Whats the difference between fltr env depth and fltr cutoff? Is it the same thing?

@sindre.pedersen Жыл бұрын

Env depth is the degree to which the envelope is affecting the filter cutoff. Fltr cutoff is a manual control for the filter cutoff.
