An Awesome Combination of Analog Synth and Sequencer

The Elektron Analog Four is a welcome addition to any modern production studio. Elektron engineered this 4-voice powerhouse with a punchy and organic-sounding fully analog signal path, and precise digital technology for components such as the envelopes and LFOs - the best of both worlds. Making the most of Analog Four's sound engine is a breeze, since Elektron has completely filled the front panel with hands-on control. Analog Four also has a powerful step sequencer that can even breath new life into your old analog gear, thanks to control voltage connectivity. If you've been waiting for the classic combination of a 4-voice analog synth and sequencer, wait no longer: the Elektron Analog Four is here.

Elektron Analog Four gives you the best of analog and digital
We synth enthusiasts at Sweetwater love analog circuitry for its warm, punchy sound, but we also know that digital control of certain jobs provides unmatched precision - and the Elektron Analog Four is a perfect example of engineering that takes full advantage of this. In the Analog Four, both oscillators of each voice are analog, including their elaborate waveshaping. Their pitches, however, are controlled digitally - along with the noise generator.

Modulate your sound with filters, envelopes, LFOs, FX, and more
The two filters of each voice (and the overdrive circuit between them), are fully analog. Ditto the amplifiers. The envelopes and LFOs - they're digital, a design that allows them to venture well into the audible range without nasty artifacts. The signal path from the oscillators to the audio outputs - that's totally analog, as well as the signal path from the external inputs to the audio outputs. The digital send effects run parallel to the main audio path; their wet signals are mixed with the dry analog signal before everything reaches the main output stage.

Elektron Analog Four - Synth Voice Features:

• Fully analog signal path, for punchy, organic sound
  
• Two analog oscillators; two sub-oscillators (variable waveshape on all oscillators)
  
• Oscillator AM and Sync modes
  
• One 4-pole analog lowpass ladder filter; one 2-pole analog multi-mode filter
  
• One analog overdrive circuit; one noise oscillator
  
• Two assignable LFOs; one dedicated vibrato LFO; two dedicated waveshape LFOs
  
• One amp envelope; two assignable envelopes; two dedicated LFO fade envelopes
  
• One dedicated noise fade envelope; one dedicated vibrato envelope; one dedicated autobend envelope

Six-track sequencer lets you control your entire studio efficiently
The Elektron Analog Four's sequencer sports six tracks, the first four of which are synth tracks (with each track controlling a synth voice). Track 5 is your FX track, controlling chorus, delay and reverb. Finally, you use the CV track to control the signals sent from the Analog Four's two CV/Gate outputs. Naturally, the parameters of all track types can be parameter-locked. The Elektron sequencer lets you control your analog studio in the most efficient way possible.

Dedicated CV track and four CV/Gate outputs let you control all your analog gear
You can sequence your analog gear with CV inputs using the Analog Four's dedicated CV track. The four CV/Gate outputs pass control voltages for controlling any parameter or pitch (V/oct andHz/V), Trig and Gate pulses for trigging envelopes (V-trig and S-trig), and repetitive clock pulses for syncing analog sequencers, LFOs, drum machines, and more. You can use the Analog Four's external inputs to filter external signals. You can even link the filters to form a parameter-lockable filter bank with up to eight filters (4 ladder and 4 multi-mode filters).

Elektron Analog Four - Sequencer Features:

• Four synth tracks; one FX track; one CV/Gate track
  
• 128 patterns; up to 64 step patterns
  
• 128 sounds; 128 kits; 16 songs
  
• Six arpeggiators; individual track lengths; swing, slide and accent functions; track transpose
  
• Micro timing; parameter locks; live-friendly Performance mode
  
• Sound-per-step change; Instant Pattern, Kit and Sound reload
  
• Full real-time control; full MIDI support

Robust connectivity gives you flexibility in rigging up your studio
Elektron's Analog Four gives you robust connectivity so you can easily integrate it into your modern studio. The Analog Four's headphone output, two main outs, two external inputs, two dual CV/Gate outputs, USB port, and MIDI in/out/thru ports (with DIN sync out) let the Analog Four play nice with everything from legacy modular synths to Macs and PCs.

The Elektron Analog Four gives you fat, punchy sound and tons of control!
