You are very good at explaining how this thing works.. you have a natural and very practical way with it despite how complicated it seems to me.. i would hope all instructors regardless of what it is they are instructing could adopt a little of your style.. i believe the world would benefit from this.
That's smart to talk a little, but jump right into demonstrating what you say by playing the synth. Excellent demo. I am going to buy this in a few weeks.
companies should go to elektron to learn something about product explanation...i am pretty sure i could use this machine without having it in my hands b4 ;)
Great presentation! I don't know if it's a stupid question but is it possible to use an external midi keyboard to create a melody sound? Or do I have to use the 8 little white knobs? Thanx
haha o my god the performance with the octatrack and a4 is amazing , very funny to see how the dj move the knobs and all syncronized , impressive performance , exelent, outstanding, all very nice. Maybe new synthesis tutorial for the a4 ? or more sounds / presets for the a4 ?
To me it looks really like a performance tool in a sort of live situation (correct me if i am wrong) will this be equally at home in a studio incorporated with ableton?
Hello ... a whole project? how to save an entire project (kit, sounds and especially patterns) .. every time I save and go to something else, when returning back everything's different, especially pattern and sound ...thanks
Is there a funktion for adding "swing" or "shift" to the sequenz? for example for rolling Percs and stuff often used for Minimal percussion or Housey HiHats
Elektron aka Cenk :-D This was the video that convinced me to consider the A4. It's sitting next to me as I type. :-D The only thing I am honestly disappointed with is the screen size, but the interface makes up for a lot of that. Any reason a larger display was not used?
*hi thomas!i have one question for you, in fact, its an important help for me, i make this question to 5 or 6 persons, but not even one answer me, its not possible thats question its so hard to answer!!!so, i have the rytm, and i only can buy one more elektron, but i dont know what i need or what i whant...i have already a jd-xa, and a tb-3 as a synth, so i can use this for the octa, but i like so much the a4...omg, my head is so confusing...i just cant do anything that im regret a few days after the choice that i make...*
yo digital addict: take analog keys! the flagship of elektron. u have rytm for beats, tb-3 for acid sounds and now u need synth! take analog keys for sure!
thank you, can i make two sounds on one sequenz step for example when i got a 4 to the Floor Kick and will at to the step 2 and 4 a clap on the same track
Salut !! j'ai une galère avec la mémoire des sons. je m'explique je joue des sons en Live. Jusque la c'est bien cool! ensuite j’éteins l'analog. Quand je la rallume et bien l'analog a gardé les sons dans leur dernier état. C'est donc galère, moi j'aimerais les retrouver toujours dans le même état. C'est a dire le son tel que je le choisi au départ....Je sais pas comment faire pour qu'il ne sauvegarde pas automatiquement... Si quelqu'un peut m’éclairer c'est super cool!! Merci :)
It sends a value based on how much electrical voltage. Depending on where you send it, it can determine how another unit is affected. High voltage can be used to create high pitch tones, or high volume.
For the life of me I can not get the arpegiatter to work like he does. I'm not saying anything is wrong with my unit. I'm just not getting a step somewhere.
Id LOVE to own one of these but Im afraid I'd get lost in step sequencing. Really wish they'd develop a VST editor/librarian type thing in order to go more in depth. Just can't stand menus, pages, and screens!
Firstly, I don't even think it looks too complicated. Secondly, why would you want something dumbed down with less flexibility? Treat it like an instrument and actually get to know it.
what in the fuckin sick !! .. i LOVE it .. but when the analog four cost 1000 .. thats like a Mac Mini With Logic Pro X & $100 ... that little set up at the end was over $2000 , thats the Mac Logic set up plus $1,100 more to buy Push & Maschine , or , midi controller and Ableton , or , Reason vsti's and a Sick Interface , or , Studio moniters Ram DJ Gear ... lol
I will buy it when it is possible to play chords direct from my MIDI keyboard. As a keyboard player it is very extrange not to been able to do that with a poly synth¡
first of all it's handmade in sweden...and in my case i will use it as a interstage between my laptop and modular system.... for example it substitute a CV step sequencer 100€, DelayPedal or Modul 150€, Reverb Pedal or Modul 150€+,Chorus Pedal 70€ and a Module to integrate Send and Return (Make Noise - Rosie) 150€...it's round about 600 - / + bugs... and you have a full synthesizer too..it depends what you want to do but in my case it is a really good price point.
I meant its to expensive for what you get. anyho i have maschine 2. Kontol S 2 roland rythim machines & 3 200 page manuals to read. i need to learn to use what i have. geez ni Komplete 10 65,000 sounds. im on maybe the 27th. good day
I still come back to this from time to time when I'm feeling uninspired.

Best analog digitally controlled synth ever.
Grooves at the end. Always love your sounds, Cenk
Of course! You can fully control the Analog Four via MIDI, making it perfect to use synced with a DAW.
Enormous instrument. Brilliant done Elektron.
Thank you for "Showing me this now".
What he's showing us is English is not his first language. Music is.
...And I will show you that now.
sounds like a threat everytime he says it :D but very nice and convincing demo... and he makes such great music
beat me to it
haha I read this just as he was saying it
Mua ha ha... dis is the Count speaking. Count Rackula. Whaaattt? You wand to tour my dungeon, err, castle? I will show you that now.
😂 😂
Did it sound okay?
Oh it sure did Mr. Dataline!!! As always!!!
"...yep, sounded fine from here."
Very nice jam at the end!!!
Really sweet how you can automate a single voice per step.
fantastic job guys, really well thought out piece of gear
He's very helpful here but in the past 4 years he has gotten much more comfortable on camera and even with english
He needs a t shirt with a logo "I will show you that now"
He does! It’s hilarious
Exquisite Machine & Demonstrated by a Wizard
All good things come from sweden
companies should go to elektron to learn something about product explanation...i am pretty sure i could use this machine without having it in my hands b4 ;)
I got the digitakt first. Just got this today and the workflow isn’t too hard to learn.
Thinking I'm going to save up for one of these, great demo!
Parameter lock is insane... new patch for each step. The ultimate complex-genre instrument?
might add this to things to invest in in future, awsome
Yes it has swing and a step offset fuction for that minimal shift (offtime) sound
Some in depth tutorials for this would be awesome, nice demo
I just noticed that the up and down arrows are backwards on this one.
no eagle eye!
analogue soothes my soul
Oh, it's got tiny little vacuum tubes in it? Can you over amp it like a moog?
Yes, you can use a MIDI keyboard to record notes to the Analog Four sequencer.
Can it play four individual note midi sent to it? I want to feed it polyphonic midi from Ableton
Lovely melody at 12:51 - did you make that into a Dataline tune?
is it possible to use this as a straight up polysynth?
12:50 .. o i so want to hear more of that!!
I'm getting my Mk1 in few days! So excited!!!! :o :D
Great presentation!
I don't know if it's a stupid question but is it possible to use an external midi keyboard to create a melody sound? Or do I have to use the 8 little white knobs?
Thanx
Yes would love some solid tutorial for the A4!!
this analog 4 sounds mad, i can't wait to get mine ... soon hopefully ;-)
haha o my god the performance with the octatrack and a4 is amazing , very funny to see how the dj move the knobs and all syncronized , impressive performance , exelent, outstanding, all very nice. Maybe new synthesis tutorial for the a4 ? or more sounds / presets for the a4 ?
Brilliant Cenk
No once you put the clap in place (steps 5 & 13 for example) the Kick will be cancelled on those steps
To me it looks really like a performance tool in a sort of live situation (correct me if i am wrong) will this be equally at home in a studio incorporated with ableton?
Hello ... a whole project? how to save an entire project (kit, sounds and especially patterns) .. every time I save and go to something else, when returning back everything's different, especially pattern and sound ...thanks
I asked the same ;-) you can play it via midi keyboard.
Would love some a "Know-How" series for A4 like for OT!
I am now saving for this uhhh 😵😵
Is there a funktion for adding "swing" or "shift" to the sequenz? for example for rolling Percs and stuff often used for Minimal percussion or Housey HiHats
I really wish the performance at the end was just the a4 solo.
lol his attitude throughout the whole thing is just "Yeah, (:shrugs:glum look:) this thing's the shit."
We're working in them as we speak!
Bought it 4 months ago. Loooooooooooooooove it :))
Amazing demo!
Hi i have little question, You say it's all parameters are able to program parameter per step, but why arp its not able to p-lock?
9:10 KILL THAT FLY :D
this man can handle his gear for sure... if u know what i mean
When Elektron releases the next major OS Update ?
Does this have that probability thing, per step?
Who is this guy so I can buy his music!
Ryan Veilleux He is Dataline :)
Elektron aka Cenk :-D
This was the video that convinced me to consider the A4. It's sitting next to me as I type. :-D
The only thing I am honestly disappointed with is the screen size, but the interface makes up for a lot of that.
Any reason a larger display was not used?
+Elektron Is he really!? :) This guy is Insane!

la mejor saludos desde tijuana
SUPER !! GREAT !! THIS IS SO COOL!!!
Great stuff :) Thank you :)
is it very complicated to make sound preset crossfades?
In the works!
I think we need some tutorials....because this thing is DEEP! and I love it..but im afraid of it as well
Thanx for the info!
And I will show you this now.
Indeed. I just got it, but i don't even know how to use the sequencer.
A "A4 for dummies" would be great :)
good job bro.
I like to think more that it is Hector unleashing his minions.
para-meters cute :) Awesome work Cenk
any updates on this? :)
can you connect a keyboard to it?
Yes.
thx
I'm sold..
LOVE

this thing beats the hell out of the mc 303 i used to have
Agreed, must have.
Is it really dangerous for speakers ?
+Carlos Medina I don't know, but on some synths the resonance knob can be scary :)
... and he will show you this now
I want this.
"A4 for dummies" would be great :D . I just got it and i have no idea how it works.
figured it out yet? haha
What does CV stand for? I keep hearing him say it, and feel like an idiot for not knowing what it stands for
cv is control voltage...its kind of like the old version of MIDI, but it works differently.
Comando Vermelho
It sends a value based on how much electrical voltage. Depending on where you send it, it can determine how another unit is affected.
High voltage can be used to create high pitch tones, or high volume.
how can i put a 3 finger arpeggio on 1 trigger in the sequencer? like in the monomachine? it doesnt work =( update pls! #awesomemachine #thanxx
You know what i mean...a more in depth editor that is used on a computer with a WAYYY larger interface.
Nice soundz Around 7:00
For the life of me I can not get the arpegiatter to work like he does. I'm not saying anything is wrong with my unit. I'm just not getting a step somewhere.
Great

VERY GOOD instrument electro the best

Siiiiiiick 👍
Needs a bigger screen
this or Digitone?
Yes
@@almightyEsquilax lol thanks!
what did you pick
Each time i see him tweaking this maschines i directly feel guilty not to own one😂
Would'nt hurt to smile.

Here is something I did with my A4 and the Octatrack last night...
ua-cam.com/video/ng0YWg2UNd0/v-deo.html
I will buy it when it is possible to play chords direct from my MIDI keyboard. As a keyboard player it is very extrange not to been able to do that with a poly synth¡
Ah this is wanted to know, so you can’t just feed it polyphonic midi?
@@Tapepusher Hi, it is polyphonic now!!!
@@Funbia how do you mean now, has it changed somehow? As in, if I buy a 2nd hand one it won't?
@@Tapepusher An update 6 years ago lets You play the 4 voices in a chord, or 1 voice bass and 3 voices chord. I bought mine and love it.
3:10 7:32 10:02 11:00 11:41 12:50
mk1 all the way
its nice but way too much $ even if it has L/R audio outs midi in/out/thru & atleast 8 recordable outs which I doubt but even so. its too much inmyop
then get something cheaper :)
first of all it's handmade in sweden...and in my case i will use it as a interstage between my laptop and modular system.... for example it substitute a CV step sequencer 100€, DelayPedal or Modul 150€, Reverb Pedal or Modul 150€+,Chorus Pedal 70€ and a Module to integrate Send and Return (Make Noise - Rosie) 150€...it's round about 600 - / + bugs... and you have a full synthesizer too..it depends what you want to do but in my case it is a really good price point.
I meant its to expensive for what you get. anyho i have maschine 2. Kontol S 2 roland rythim machines & 3 200 page manuals to read. i need to learn to use what i have. geez ni Komplete 10 65,000 sounds. im on maybe the 27th. good day
