Analogue Four and Analogue Rhythm Transformed question

Quick question. How was this created?
Both audio and visuals

The sound is nothing like ive heard from this combo. I really like it. Any ideas what soundpack Elektron used?

Secondly what software was used for the visuals? I think it really works with the track.

Cheers all.

Visuals looks like good old video craft.

  1. have a plan
  2. grab a cam
  3. load that footage
  4. edit it.

You can do such videos with anything better than windows movie maker.
If you know what you want and stick to it.

I don’t hear anything in the audio that’s totally surprising for the AR/A4 (not that I have an A4). There’s a few sounds which might be samples (the metallic ones, from the AR), but even those could be well crafted noise. There’s a generous slice of thick reverb (which I assume is the A4, it doesn’t sound like the one on the AR to me). The opening pad has an FM-ish quality, but I imagine you can get that from the A4’s modulations.

I can believe the audio was all Analogs.

And goddammit… another thread making me think I “need” an A4. My killer mono synths are looking really anxious on my desk.

Honestly this is the video that has made me think i need both too.

I’d say it’s entirely possible this is only A4 and AR synthesis.

They’re actually the same, it’s also the same reverb in DT and DN. The different types of synthesis/sampling engines, gainstaging etc. result in differences how the reverb sounds in those machines, but it’s the same algo.
IIRC @Ess mentioned this before in a thread.

Edit, A4’s reverb is indeed different, see explanation below.

I got an A4mki for 388 this weekend. Keep your eyes peeled on 2nd hand, it seems to be a market slump for that machine for some reason (can’t blame Putin…?)

nice! ebay?

Yeah, eBay, and some “FLASH10” voucher that a kind fellow 'naut mentioned on a sale thread, that gave me 10% off!

EDIT: in fact it just showed up, and as a former MkII owner, I love this form factor (maybe I will curse the screen/trigs/etc later)

The screen is a bit annoying for me on the MK1.

It’s gonna be even worse when my AR MK2 turns up tomorrow.

This is interesting. To me the AR reverb sounds “closer” (more “cronpressed” wide band content) than some of the other boxes (e.g. the cathedral-like, super wide open spaces in that video). Of course… my ear could be off :slight_smile:

Are you going to have 2xA4 (a8?), or sell the mki ?

I dunno.

In an ideal world I’d have both, but I’ve just about run out of things to sell, so I’d most likely sell the MK1 to fund a MK2.

I’m happy enough with the MK1 for now though and I’m sure I’ll be grateful when I play out with it, as it looks a lot easier to gig with.

(Just realised I misread, and you’re getting AR Mkii. I can’t wait to hear what you come up with.)

Yeah, I was hoping for your old one to come up again on here, but I found one on reverb that fits the bill.

Wow fooled me haha

Kinda sounds like all of it could be made on the A4…

Yeah, there’s nothing there that couldn’t be done with A4 + AR.

No the A4 reverb is actually the one that’s slightly different from the Rytm and onwards.

Noooooooo, I’ve been really missing my old A4mk1 lately. GAS inflation isn’t just about rising energy prices…

Ah, thanks for clarifying!

Damn, I always thought the A4s reverb sounded different, “more spacious and catheral like” is a good description, lol, ofc it does, because it is. My memory, my bad…

The visuals are by stop motion artist Avvikande Animation (as per the video description). I’ve been following him (Freddy Wallin) on Instagram:
