The Elektron Analog Four
The Analog Four is the latest entry in Elektron’s series of uniquely “electronic” flavored instruments. This time they’ve delivered a four voice desktop analog synthesizer with precise digital control, a six-track sequencer, macro performance knobs, effects and six arpeggiators. In this review, we check out its features, program a four-track loop on the sequencer, and explore the macro knobs in detail. Equally suited to both studio use and live performance, the Analog Four is a powerful tool for electronic music makers.
