Musicstore as well.

Elektron Analog Four Demogerät

I’m trying really hard to decide

[Palu]

It’s about $1300 or 1200 euro.

[Moehh]

Now it’s AR turn to be erased from Thomann website …

[void]

interesting! AR prices at other retailers are still same as usual…
well… tbh can’t imagine this limbo situation going on through August. Some info gotta drop soon…

[Moehh]

Is Elektron listed as exhibitors @ Summer NAMM ?

[void]

yes, looks like there’s a small booth:
https://floorplan.namm.org/SS17/exfx.html?event=level3exhibithallmezzanine&zoomto=1647&units=F&exhList=min#exhibitors
(zoom towards booth 1647)

dunno tho, looks like it’s among guitar stuff…? So maybe just promotion of the drive pedal…

[Unifono]

yes, there aren’t out too many, that’s why the price is quite high at the moment.
I alrerady own the A4, it would be my second one

I don’t know of course what the price drop is about, but I can’t imagine a major new machine so shortly after the digitakt release

[834]

Probably not a major new machine no.

I guess the A4mkii will just have some new DT style buttons and an OLED screen. Perhaps the bass tweak that was featured on the AK. And maybe one or two new dedicated buttons.

[Unifono]

that’s an imaginable scenario

Announced Introducing Analog Four & Analog Rytm MKII

[tr909]

Not again. “The analog circuitry of Analog Four MKII has been thoroughly reworked and provides deep, clear and defined bass plus a more prominent analog overdrive/distortion effect.”

[jaystink]

I’m doubtful they’d do it, but it would be amazing if elektron would offer to retrofit at least a couple of the new features to a mk1 machine. Say the individual outs and cv inputs on the a4.

Outs are certainly possible, cv inputs may be, depending on how exactly the modulation bus works.

It’s a stretch I know, but it was once an option to pay to have them retrofit a +drive to older machinedrums.

[wouzer]

Why?

[Bc3]

Just received word from the retailer I pre-ordered from that the mkII release has been delayed until the first week of 2018?!

[wouzer]

Oh no… not again!
