30 years ago I did sound on sound on a 4 track cassette recorder and my Korg ms 20 that I bought in 1978 for about 450 euro. I made loops but had no sequencer so I had to play it. After a while I considered myself as a failure because I could not change chord. Everything was just moving statically. So I moved to the piano to write melody lines with chords. Now after all these years and listening to carbon based life forms and others I realise what I did was much better than I thought. I have to buy some new equipment. There are too many things to choose from out there. I need something easy to understand.

*THE BEST* demo of both A4/AK yet! Really love the in-set screen-shot. Please do more in this format! Has been the most help for me as an A4 owner and plan to buy the AK...still keeping the A4.

Very nice sounds there my friend. The zoom screen of what you are doing is VERRRY helpful.

This is one of the best synth of latest years. I am glad to own one even if it's not so easy to use. I really do not understand why have become so cheap on 2nd hand market

This guy has made me fall in love with elektron. i now know for sure the difference of analog vs digital. now...... time to bust out those credit cards!

This is absolutely terrific. Thank you for sharing. I got my Keys a couple of weeks ago and I find your video incredibly helpful in finding my way through it. Gosh, this must be the most versatile and sonically capable synthesiser money can buy now...

Of all the videos on KZfaq, this one has made me want the Analog Keys the most, and that's saying a lot. Awesome stuff!!

You make this thing sing, man. Phenomenal improvisations, keep em coming!

This really made me want to buy one. The warmth on this synth. Damn man.

Love the improvisations, the sounds, the deep tweaking. This complex device really comes to life under talented fingers :-) Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

just listened to this guy and jammed a bit with my tr8 at the same time.... awesome

Just love this video. What a great showcase of just a few things that can be done with this synth. Amazing piece of hardware I just was fortunate enough to find locally... and I am not even a key player per se'. SO many sounds and sound types... and to my ears and studio monitors... can sound shiny bright, phat buzzy lows, sharp, warm, and sequenced. Brilliant. Thank you!

So sick, good job man. I really need to get one of these, seems like such a powerful piece of equipment.

wow i couldn't stop listening and watched the whole thing! Best demo ive seen of the Analog Keys.

By far the most impressive video of this beast. MrDataline sure knows the AK inside out. Just awesome !

morning coffee + a new dataline video to start the day :)

Great Job, this video does a great job of showing the impressive range of this synth.

I'm loving this! This synth is officially on my list. Building a modular can wait :)

Cenk is the Chuck Norris of Elektron devices.

Stunning work! Kudos to you! Beautiful!

Great demo! The PIP of the screen is really helpful.

Have just been watching a pro 2 sequencing video which made my head hurt, this is refreshingly all music . This is far more my zone. Sure it hasn’t got all the bells and whistles but when it comes to workflow. Already got the rytm so have a grasp on elektrons way of doing things admittedly I’ve not mastered it like you but cheers for the inspiration 👍

Gorgeous sounds, sir.

That first track. Just love it.

Killer groove, love the Analog Keys !

So jealous of what you get to do for a living. Keep up the awesome work Cenk!

Very nice touch with recording the LCD screen so we can all follow along. Excellent Improv Jam. Cheers!

Going pentatonic-style black on demos is a sure way to get it right! Great demo! :)

This work sounds like the future of yesterday's dreams....

oh my god I literally would not leave my room for days if I got one of these

An excellent demo-thanks

@MrDataline You' re a chief ! Bravo !!

This is awesome stuff! Very inspiring :)

WANT. WANT. WANT! I just love this synth/keyboard.

Beautiful!

Wow!! Never been interested in this synth before, but your demo makes me really wish I had the money to drop on it. What you did around 16:30 sounded amazing!

Dude! I love your music! You need to release more of your music

I can't get enough of the first patch played here. You should make a patch pack available for purchase please!

Thank you, MrDataline.

Beautiful.

more ELECTRON ALCHEMY from MRDataline, BRILLIANT!!! ;)

Great job! Very cool!

Love this!

black key music, easy, but efective, nice :)

so cool, man! sounds like from a record!

Great demo again! Question: Is and does is do the same as the A4....but then with the keys? Please advice, i am thinking about trading my A4 for the Keys version! Thanx

Браво!! Спасибо за видео!!!

The second session reminds me a lot of Fluke's Risotto album.

Ahhhh I was thinking about getting the OP-1 but this sold me to buy the Analog Keys!

So sick dude

Great work! I think I'm going to buy an Analog Keys. Thank you!:)

love that sound at 4:50-4,457 amongst others

Thanks Mr Data!!

yes its sound great thx data

Excellent work! I'm pretty sure you made quite a few people rush into shopping carts :))

can you tell me the basic way to change preset sounds without starting everything from scratch and the best place to learn this steep learning board at. ive just plugged it in and wow its difficult as far as the learning curve goes and I own Moog DSI KORG etc....Id really appreciate some help and you are the best ive seen yet.

Is there a download for this? So beautiful

All of this layer is done via the Elektron? There's no looper?

VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE !!!

thank you ! very efficient demo , interesting , are they infinite buttons concept you turn ?

Mannen, you really know how to make that piece sing! Totally inspiring!

oh hell...what sounds!!!!!!!!! AWESOME

As soon as you got the drums right, its was set to go for minus tempo down 3, and now I want the octatrack keyboard, how do you sample with it though ?

Sensational demo man What are the main differences between the Analog Keys and the Analog Four ?

You push some beautiful sounds from the analog! Any chance you'd exchange a couple of them for other patches?

great music and a great peace of gear... have to save some bucks, must have it one day :-)

Cenk, how did you get the separate video capture of the LCD display screen?

What are the differences between the keys and the A4? With the new os update can record in sequences in poly? is this possible via live mode?

geeeeeeeeezzz.... this demo made my jaw drop

i love this sequencer...don need to buy modular with it...sound nearly like some modular...no?

And with overbridge now every touch and tweak can be recorded as automation and edited in your DAW?

Used a lot of sharps and flats. What was that step programming you were going there with the bass?

thanks for the larger display monitor

I am indecisive between analog keys and digitakt .... What could you advise me? I love techno 80¨ music

Only black keys? Good Demo Cenk.

thank you nice demo sound crazy Clubbing Tracks

LOVE

great!

Is this synth as good as a Minimoog Voyager?

19:00 - woooooaaaaa

goddamn i really want one of these! and a rytm :)

superb

thanks for showing me something other then edm with this. It for me is between this and the prophet 6

I was shaking some boat enamel to put on my SL-1200mmk2 ... Started shaking my ass about 11:10 . . forgot wtf I was listening to )

Really Nice sound at 18:30

I've had my AK for a few years now, so many nice new products but the AK still gives me no reason to want more in sound. This synth is very deep and easy to learn if you invest time. The workflow is intuitive once you apply yourself, it becomes 2nd nature, just look at this video being played live. Most of all though, just listen to the sounds and flexibility, really listen....

Is this basically an Analog Four w keys? I really like your music. I'm going to the band camp right now.

Played with analog keys at the store, very nice. I wish the screen was bigger, so much empty space on the right to move the knobs...

MrDatline your close with elektron, do you think we will ever see a mk2 of the analog keys or should I give up hope and just get one of these used?!

What type/genre of music would people say it was at around 19:04?

first one is so sick. Eargasm.

What's he doing between those edits?

Thanks for sharing this, I got a question though, does it have micro tuning? like if I wanna detune certain notes -50 cents can I do that?

Sounds a little bit like Boards Of Canada...

very nice. the only real downfall of this keyboard is the ridiculous high-rez knobs. turn forever to change values.

WOW

hooolly sssh_t (19:07) - I hope you got some commission from Elektron already, at lest a "Thank you Mate!" message, 'cause you definitely deserve it. Could we know that what was the interface what you have used for recording the Keys?

Pentatonic :)

awesome =]

Does anyone know how this compares to a moog sub 37?
