ANALOG FOUR WITH OTHER ELEKTRON GEAR

The Analog Four really thrives with other Elektron gear. In this example it is used with an Octatrack and a
Machinedrum. The Machinedrum main output is connected to the Analog Four inputs. The Analog Four main
output is connected to one of the input pairs of the Octatrack. The main outputs of the Octatrack goes to the PA.
The Machinedrum and Analog Four are MIDI slaved to the Octatrack.

The Machinedrum creates the beats. The Analog Four is responsible for basses and synth sounds. The Octa-
track plays back loops and can also be used to sample the audio from the Analog Four plus Machinedrum.

Because the Machinedrum is connected to the Analog Four inputs, the internal effects of the Analog Four can be
used to affect the incoming signal. This can be used to add sudden washes of reverb or delay to the beat.

1.

Press the fifth [TRACK] key, the FX track, on the Analog Four. Select the EXT IN page.

3.

Make a performance macro controlling the CHO, DEL and REV parameters, located on the EXT IN page of
the FX track, for both the left and right channel. See page 16 on how to make a performance macro.
