Fairly new A4 owner here. Somehow I’ve turned performance mode on and I can’t turn it off. It’s lit up white and the first six trigs are lit up (red) as quick mutes. If I hit FUNC + PERF the perf button turns blue and it goes into Performance Configure. I’ve tried hitting the button by itself, tapping in combination with NO, etc.
Okay, this from the guy who couldn’t figure out how to get out of performance mode yesterday…
The Analog 4 is freaking amazing. I hesitated to buy it because of all the talk about how it sounds flat. God, even if that were true it is beside the point. It’s like disregarding the OB-6 because you don’t like its percussion sounds.
I think A4 all naysayers should get stuck in performance mode. That’s where you realize what this machine can do. It’s mind-boggling. It’s a whole gig in a box.
I will spend the next year deep diving this thing and I doubt I will find the end of its abilities.
I have been hesitating in a very similar way with the decision to A4 or not to A4. As I mentioned somewhere else before I didn’t feel ready for this machine in the end.
However Elektronauts has been proven as an invaluable resource for in depth information about many not-so-obvious techniques and possibilities. If you haven’t already, you might have a look here: When did you start to have rewarding moments w/ A4. There’s more to be found in some other (sometimes very old) threads, too. Happy exploring!
