Elektron has now unveiled full details and spec of the new instrument it has been teasing for the past few weeks; the Analog Four.
The device marries a 4-voice synth - featuring fully analogue oscillators, filters and signal path - with an advanced Elektron sequencer. It also features chorus, delay and reverb effects plus CV/Gate and DIN sync outputs. Check out the full spec below.
The Analog Four is set to start shipping 3 December and has an RRP of £899/$1149. Check out Elekron's official site for more details.
When we told you that Elektron was teasing a new product, we concluded by saying that we were hoping for a promo video to match the epic production that accompanied the launch of the company's Octatrack. Well, we got it.
The Analog Four trailer - premiered last week and called the Demon Who Wears Me - is suitably unsuitable. The synth appears briefly at the end, but we're not even going to attempt to describe what goes on before that.
Other than to say that, if you're not a fan of talking wounds, look away now.
