Analog Four (MKI) - Manual Looping of envelopes and playing long notes

  • Full manual control over restarting the envelopes beats simple envelope looping.
    Layer the two envelopes with re-triggered LFOs for massive drones and sequences.
    Also, how to - long notes on A4 and AK.
    Apologies for the jello camera every time I touch the box - a flexible phone holder is obviously not designed for video.

    Hard to believe this is your first video on UA-cam, I didn't think you sounded stressed at all, in fact it was quite informative, thanks for taking the time to share this ! Have a nice weekend, friend ;)

      Well, thanks, but I was.
      I made a few mistakes, but I guess ppl understood anyway.
      I'm thinking of a few more tuts on things I use but haven't seen covered in tutorials.

    Really great video. I keep learning more and more about my A4 and AK each day. Your tutorial style is awesome for my brain. Subscribed. Peace. Always.

      Thank you kindly.
      I'm planning a few more, but you know... life gets in the way. :)

    Looking at the Analytics it would seem that no one has gone as far into the video as far as round 5:15 where I touch on playing very long sustained notes (way more that 64 beat) on A4.

    do more of these tutorial videos on elektron stuff. you are hilarious. i could watch these all day

      Thank you.
      Unfortunately (not for me) the only piece of Elektron gear I have and will never part with, is the Octatrack and it had been covered by people with more knowledge than me.
      I'll be doing some show and tell on modular gear.

    thanks very much for this! I've had mine 3 years now I think and I love how there's always something new to explore. a truly wonderful and deep machine. mine will be with me until to the end i think! thanks again!

    • @iqnill

      Elektron machines are a never ending discovery.
      Just a few days ago I discovered something on the Octatrack that I've never seen or read about (or just missed of course)

    • @monoseq9797
      @monoseq9797 7 років тому

      ooooh, please could you make a video on that too? There's still lots I don't understand with the octatrack but even so, since day one I've been able to make the music in my head a reality with these machines!

      That one is very simple.
      Double tap a track and you will see which sample is loaded.
      Hold FUNCTION and hit arrow left or right - It will load the next or previous sample in the same folder.
      If you set up you samples in order, you can change them in progression. This obviously doesn't affect the trigs.

    This is a great and very helpful first UA-cam video! Thank you for the hot tips.

      Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    good idea mate! next time i would prepare the real practical example for the usage of this technique (the Drones) and let the people hear it directly. because this is very well thought out - just not so nicely presented ;-) anyway - its a great start for your channel already and very good for your first video! keep it up - we need much more tutorials like this with people actually THINKING about what they want to achieve! great work !!!

    • @iqnill
      @iqnill  7 років тому +5

      I was mindful of the time and showing the how-to is probably enough to get anyone started.
      Maybe I should one with an example of my drone and what can be done.

    Nice video, I will definitely try these on my mkii. I was really looking forward to hear those drones though ;)

      Haven't been using the A4 for a long time. Keep promising myself to make vid or two but time wins.

      Thanks. I've gone modular since then and the A4 is getting dusty...

  • @MathHammer

    Hi, nice job and congrats in your first video. I watched to the end :) "Trigless trigs" are an essential part of the Elektron experience, at least in my opinion. Are you going to upgrade to a mkII A4 when they come out? I am not sure TBH.

    • @iqnill
      @iqnill  7 років тому

      Thanks your your comment.
      I've been crazy-busy, but I have a few ideas for more short vids on the trigs.
      I think that in an ideal case I would upgrade.
      The multiple outputs would be the main reason.
      I always found age A4 to be a little bit "polite" in terms of the sounds and being able to externally process each sound would be fantastic.
      Yes, I could have bought the AK, but I travel a lot and it's just too big for me.
      I'll see how my finances are and decide later.

    Great vid. Thanks. Need to try to get 1 lfo to change speed of another. Thanks for hinting it to be possible.

    • @iqnill

      Thanks. Sadly I'm across the world and couldn't take the A4 with me, so nothing new...

    even tho there are things it can't do the Elektron a4 *can* do aloooot of stuff. a seriously powerful box

    • @iqnill

      I actually sold mine and someone else is having fun. I went modular.

    will it play the same envelope pattern that you created with the sequencer steps when pressing a key? I mean when playing a chord using keyboard for example, will this envelope pattern remain?

    • @iqnill
      @iqnill  7 років тому

      No, it relies on the trigs to do that.
