A4 Feature Requests

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#956

It was here but I’ll double with my thoughts/vision:

  • the Note Pitch modulation source. And the possibility to modulate LFO(s) speed by NotePitch with different scales (Lin/Exp). Thus will get some sort of classic FM-ability for oscillators and filters.

More digital FXs inside A4, more FX tracks(sends). If it’s even possible of course.

#958

Arp hold, please. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:.

Am I correct that arp settings are saved with the kit on A4, if so it really needs p.lockable arp.

Hi guys, little question: can the A4 ( mk1 or mk2) receive external cv clock?

#962

No.

#963

I might be wrong but I think none of the Elektron boxes can transmit the midi received from the USB Midi In to the Midi DIN Out. That would be a hell of a feature. Imagine an A4 Midi Host.

Only spent a few hours, but here is my current take on what’s missing on the A4 :

  • P-Lockable ARP params. This is my biggest gripe.
  • Delay FX : an unsync and much faster rate option. Karplus Strong, feedback, you know what I mean…
  • Ability to modulate LFO params from the other LFO
  • Faster LFOs for FM
  • Loopable envelopes
  • A more direct way to load a sound to the Sound Pool.

Cheers

Just incase you weren’t aware

LFO2 can modulate LFO1

With LFO in pitch mode (tuning fork icon) its speed is linked to its corresponding OSC (e.g. LFO 1’s speed is controlled by OSC 1’s pitch) – so you can get faster LFOs by increasing its OSC’s pitch.

Reminded me this ! (Didn’t try it since)
Any workarounds for missing Key Track Mod source?

Anyway Keytrack modulation would be necessary !

it does that

#968

no, only midi

#969

Great ! I missed that.

Need to do more tests, but 1k and TUN at 32 seems to be unity, so not much higher ranger left. Also, I’m not sure about the accuracy. I’ve re-calibrated the oscillators, but it seems not quite perfect. I guess it’s the analog nature of the OSCs.

I’ve also been struggling to find information about the specifics of LFO tuning for FM and have had limited success finding tonal sweet spots by ear. So far, the FM is great for percussion and general weird dissonance, though. Anecdotally, it does seem to work better on the filters than the oscillators. There is probably a thread about it somewhere; I just haven’t found it yet.

Two more from today :

  • Ability to change the notes of an arp with a trigless trig (is it a bug ?)
  • In the MIX screen, add a small vu-meter. I think it’s not always simple to quickly know which track is playing which sounds. Am I missing a way ? You can always check the trigs in grid rec mode, but with trig conditions, it’s not always obvious.

Here I go again…(I’ll probably edit this post as the day goes…).

  • Be able to control PROB in a PERF. I could build songs just like that.

+1 for P-lockable ARP parameters! We can’t fake ratchets.
Only by sacrificing the whole track for ratcheted sounds.
Also it would be cool to see an increased BPM (up to 900). This will help in some different cases!

NotePitch parameter (for mods) globally necessary IMHO. It will open a lot of possibilities! Chromatic LFOs will bring some pseudo-FM features. It will be awesome!
