Four-voice polyphonic analog desktop synthesizer.
Product information
Experience fantastic analog sound combined with incredible digital precision and control. For studio sessions, bursts of inspiration and heartfelt performances: the Analog Four MKII combines the best of both worlds. The sound of worlds colliding.
Organic, steely, warm, cold, chaotic, precise and all shades in between. Create unique analog basses, leads, drums, and any other sounds imaginable. Program them with precision or create and redesign them on the fly. It sounds as wide as an infinite palette.
From sounds to songs
Four synth tracks and an FX track, each with an intuitive step-by-step sequencer, make it easy to create and layer melodies. Play your composition and change its shape immediately. Change notes, change sounds, add effects. Make it as shiny and airy or as dark and dense as you like. Add vibrant chorus, reverb and delay at your leisure. Something beautiful will come out.
Each synth track offers a variety of sound processing and modulation options. Two oscillators with different waveforms with one universal sub-oscillator each for sound generation. Oscillator timing parameters, amplitude modulation, pulse width modulation, spectral noise, vibrato are all good stuff. A ladder filter and a resonant multimode filter provide accurate sound shaping. Add shape and movement with two envelopes and two LFOs per track, each with a wide range of shapes, waveforms and purposes. Modulation provides a depth that can confuse you.
Modular management
Not only a great synth, the Analog Four MKII can also make other equipment sing. In addition to allowing your selected sequencer tracks to send MIDI to external instruments, the CV/Gate sequencer and DIN sync outputs allow you to control other analog equipment. Make your modular or vintage synth really come alive.
Additionally, separate audio outputs for each voice ensure that this instrument fits just as tightly into a vintage analog studio recording session as it does a modern digital one.
Focus on reproduction
Use four voices monophonically or polyphonically with multiple routing options. From a mini-keyboard for quickly sketching out musical ideas, to one-handed control of a template or changing sound, editing and more, playability is always at the center of attention. The ultra-clear OLED display makes working in the dark more convenient. Convenience and lush sound, like a pea in a pod.
For Power Tuning: Create eight performance macros (multi-parameter combinations of sound settings, effects, etc.) ready to be fired simultaneously with the push of a knob. There's also a quick performance knob for instant access to one of eight performance macros. One handle to rule them all.
Great sequence
A full-featured step-by-step sequencer lets you control both structure and sound. Simply click on a step and adjust any parameter on it for a super-fast and detailed sequence. Record in real time every turn you make, or build your composition one tonal nuance at a time. Add some controlled randomness and logic with friendly trigonometry conventions. Create patterns from your sequence, then create a full-scale composition from your patterns using neat song mode.
Dynamite of inspiration
Analog Four MKII is packed with exclusive factory content to get you started. The likes of Richard Devine, Eraldo Bernocchi, Spit Mask, and the dedicated Elektron team from around the world have assembled a fresh bank of templates and kits to access a variety of stunning audio pieces right out of the box.
