oh ok i gotcha, it's has 2 oscillators and is monophonic or duophonic if you use divide-down. it sounds really good, i love hearing demos of obscure synths like that, to hear their unique character/timbre.
I'm curious to hear your opinion on the Analog 4. i mean the sound speaks for itself but I've heard multiple people mention a rather difficult learning curve, that it sometimes deters them from using it as much as they'd like. but then when they do use it again, they're reminded how "worth it" it is to not be intimidated and just use it. i guess the Analog 4 has its own workflow that must be different from what everyone is used to. I've never had the privilege to play one. is its step sequencer difficult or more complicated than a typical step sequencer? or is it something else about the Analog 4 or Elektron boxes in general that make people say it has a difficult learning curve?
congrats on the new gear!

Well first thing I'd say is that the Analog 4 sounds awesome. I've read plenty of comments online about how it lacks character but that's just bollocks. It doesn't sound the same as a 30 year old analogue synth does, but who gives a crap? Oddly, what it reminds me of most is a Virus. It just has a very nice, organic quality to it.
The UI is complicated, but no more so that any other complicated synth. If anything I'd say it's easier to use than a Virus (for example). It's very logical in its layout.
I think people have issue with it because the way the Elektron machines work is fairly unique. I haven't fully got to grips with the sequencer yet, but I also understand that there will be a learning curve. Because it doesn't work like any other product and because people aren't used to that they make an assumption that it's complicated to learn because it can do complicated things when it's really not. It just takes a few days commitment.
