I was, or have been, quite keen on the new Roland SE-02, or Behringer D because I love the sound of the Minimoog and the simplicity of the panel. I have used the Arturia VST so far and since the new machines were announced I was wondering how I could recreate my DAW patches on those machines. I then hit upon this wonderful video by @Scot_Solida :
and instead of waiting and pondering about new machines, I found myself recreating Minimoog patches with the Analog Four. I used Overbridge for the first time and it works beautiful. (I use Overbridge so far only to create patches etc as a megasize and crystal clear display; I am not keen on integrating the machines with music in the DAW). To my ears, one can get pretty close, close enough for me to wonder whether it makes sense to buy those machines when I have the A4, where I can run four of those patches together and have the sequencer and integration into my Elektron eco system.
Lets see whether I can resist but that nice video from a fellow Elektronaut got me away from searching new gear and instead I was making music
