OMG, this machine looks like the best box ever built, thank you for putting out such a high calibre demo, that's sounds like an LP to me, this pattern is outstanding, thank you for the vibe!
Dateline....I'm gonna buy your 4. This has made my mind up. This elektron product has the right amount of balance for my immediate needs. Recently, some robber stole all my equipment from my street corner studio. This will help me get back on my feet again....thanks, and I wish you well.
I just received my Analog Four on Friday. Thanks for getting my creative juices flowing. Just the ablity to take a monotone track and change it on the fly is very cool. All the other parameter locks that go along with it. :) Edit: I just created a track with a combination of created sounds, stock sounds, and one note rythems tweeked to perfection. This is really awesome!
This features by itself makes this little beauty a must buy ! I'm not even talking about the sound quality which is superb, as well as the effect. A4 is a bomb !
Just came to this video today. Trying to learn something while eating lunch. Issue is that every time I look away, so many changes happen within seconds :D. Great Vid! Very inspiring!
real nice presentation here. I can't wait for mine to show up with the mail person, she needs to hurry up with it LOL! I ordered one over the weekend and can't wait to start using it in the studio. This vid only gets me more excited, wonderful tune!
Thank YOU for this video! You are my electron HERO! very nice programming of the sounds - great sequence - it gives me so much inspiration! please make more such a kind of videos! THX MR. DATALINE ; )
I went big and bought the A4 and the Octatrack....sold some other good analog equipment to get it, but it's worth it. It's the functionality of the WHOLE system that sold me.
You know, in the end, you're gonna have to own both ;) I started with the Analog Four, but ended up getting the Octatrack too, and I don't regret any of them, they're giving me so much pleasure and fun !
Great video! Really nice to see someone at work that clearly knows their instrument very well. I just picked up an A4 and am really looking forward to getting my teeth into it :)
This is very interesting if only you could go through it step by step for us beginners. You are the master of these instruments. So please again can you do some step by step videos for us!
Your demo's are SO great... one thing I'd love to hear you do is make some really messed up dark-tweaked sounds and use them in a less predictable & non-grid (or multi-grid) manner to really show how free-range/form the sequences can get - a machine consumed with consuming itself... ;) If anyone can do this, YOU can. :) Thanks for all the fab examples.
After owning and using A4 for a few weeks I start to understand what Dataline is doing in this video. I suppose I was convinced to buy one originally after seeing this particular video, but back then I had no idea what he was doing with knobs and buttons. :) Some properly produced tutorial videos from Elektron would really be nice!!!
+Lukree Industries Your comment is a year old so you've probably learned everything that he is doing in the video by now. If not, however, in about about two weeks I'm going to post a complete, chronological description of literally everything that Mr Dataline does to create the first pattern. Keep an eye out on the Elektronauts forum.
+Justin McCamish Heh, yes, after a year of practice really makes the difference! Still having my elektrons (A4 and Rytm), and while those are every now and then a bit quirky, I'll stick with them! Awesome machines. Cannot approach Dataline's Elektron Ninja level, but at least I'm not slaughtered on first level anymore.
Really great video. Sounds nice to me. Does this have swing or swing per sound and is there any way of quantising the stuff you record using the mini keyboard? Also have an idea how parameter locks work but say i wanted to program a filter sweet over 3 of 16 steps how could i do that so it sounded smooth like an automated rather than step sequenced filter. Is this fully automatable in a DAW too? With the fx is it say one global (eg.)reverb for all tracks and then you just send and return Thanks.
What a joy to watch a man who so knows his instrument, such a delight to listen to a man who can do music on it. What a pain it must be wearing strap on binoculars to read that screen at the same time . .
Sweet. Do you find you wish it had more fx per channel rather than just sends? Really lovely stuff. Can get not far off a finished track with just this one piece of gear! Is all the automation recorded in your DAW or can it be so you can edit your performance later?
That's pretty cool. Thanks a lot mate. Any thoughts of my other questions below. Think I might be ordering one too very soon. Really liked the track you ended up with too. Good melodic techno :)
brilliant! thanks for your kind efforts in the absence of anything from elektron. i don't suppose there's any chance you could post a walk thru of loading in sounds from the sound packs? seems the folks at elektron saw fit to offer free sounds with no explanation as to how to get them into the device or into a track once there. merçi!
Watching this 10 freaking years later and still going OMG at the ease you are banging those sounds out!
I agree
The best part of this video is from 0:00 to 16:55
Still the best thing I’ve ever heard on an A4.
Still
still.
still is the best example in 2022
still
Are you guys sure about that?

it's amazing, before this video I never even knew I need a 4 voice analog synth!
Dateline....I'm gonna buy your 4. This has made my mind up. This elektron product has the right amount of balance for my immediate needs. Recently, some robber stole all my equipment from my street corner studio. This will help me get back on my feet again....thanks, and I wish you well.
Thanks for making this video, DL.
It was the main inspiration for me getting the A4 so many years ago- led me down quite a scenic path
this is so perfect. incredible timbres. what a beautiful box
That note sequence(A,B,F#,E) (IV, VI, ii, I) is infectious. I went to get coffee and found the sequence still playing in my head. Good work! :)
I bought one after seen that precise video!, but your the master of analogue four by far! best instrument ever made!
This video cemented my purchase of an Analog Four. Well done demonstration.
The beginning two oscillator synth sounds like atoms for peace, the synth that plays the happier part in Default. Very professional quality.
I just received my Analog Four on Friday. Thanks for getting my creative juices flowing. Just the ablity to take a monotone track and change it on the fly is very cool. All the other parameter locks that go along with it. :)
Edit: I just created a track with a combination of created sounds, stock sounds, and one note rythems tweeked to perfection. This is really awesome!
this is one of the best drumcomputer vids ive ever seen, thank you for this presentation:)
Wow. I love this music you're making. I'm buying an Elektron Analog Four in about 3 weeks. Thanks.
This is best demo of elektron mashines on youtube :) when listening this demo i am realy high.The tonality is my home.
I also just bought an Analog Four because of this vid! great work! hoping i can make some nice textures also.
The video that made me get an A4. No regrets 4 years later.
This features by itself makes this little beauty a must buy ! I'm not even talking about the sound quality which is superb, as well as the effect. A4 is a bomb !
Man this is Decent! Great synth, demo and music/creativity...
i'm buying one tomorrow because of this video
great work dataline…. thanks
digging your work and the box!
Just came to this video today. Trying to learn something while eating lunch. Issue is that every time I look away, so many changes happen within seconds :D.
Great Vid! Very inspiring!
what a beautiful sounding instrument
real nice presentation here. I can't wait for mine to show up with the mail person, she needs to hurry up with it LOL! I ordered one over the weekend and can't wait to start using it in the studio. This vid only gets me more excited, wonderful tune!
Just wow! That intro melody has blown me away
Wow..!! this sound is very deep and cool.. good job!!
This is enormous machine and really huge sound inside !
great video man, thanks for the tutorial, keep them coming they are very informative and helpful in learning this complex and amazing tool!
I hope you can show more videos like this. It helped me to get up and running quickly with the A4. And kudos. Nice work.
Were liking this...another new toy for the writing of our new material for the album!
Best thing I've ever heard from an A4.
Thank YOU for this video! You are my electron HERO! very nice programming of the sounds - great sequence - it gives me so much inspiration! please make more such a kind of videos! THX MR. DATALINE ; )
This is absolutely wonderful
Master mastering the machine. Deep knowledge and deep sound!
A.
This is the most fun way to explore and learn the Elektron gear.
I went big and bought the A4 and the Octatrack....sold some other good analog equipment to get it, but it's worth it. It's the functionality of the WHOLE system that sold me.
Do you still have the A4 and the OT?
👍
Extrawelt Technology...
Great stuff, Dude
just got my A4 yesterday!
have the learning curve feeling bad!
this video is very very inspiring, now just let me digest it ;)
this is by far the best Elektron video I have seen. I love the sound. As I have seen under in some comment - are you Extrawelt?
Wow, this is so cool!
Now i can't decide between A4 & octatrack...
Thank you for the great demo sir!
You know, in the end, you're gonna have to own both ;)
I started with the Analog Four, but ended up getting the Octatrack too, and I don't regret any of them, they're giving me so much pleasure and fun !
Laurent Cortier I am SO tempted to get an Analog Rhtm and Octatrack later in 2015 if I can swing it.
the bassline sounds like "boards of canda - olson"
Wuaw, the A4 is def a filthy fine peace of equipment and great handwork my german friend
I actually bought one of these after this video! :D!!
Mark Sweeney Me Too!!
+Mark Sweeney Same here!
alright. my heart was all set on an op-1, but now i have to buy this instead.
the SOUND is fucking....deep.
Great car track. listen to it with the kids all the time. One of these days I'll have one.
Very good video and really shows what the a4 can do ...
Great video! Really nice to see someone at work that clearly knows their instrument very well. I just picked up an A4 and am really looking forward to getting my teeth into it :)
I have a U-He Ace and a U-He Zebra2.... :)
Glad someone is helping out. Thanks for that.
This is very interesting if only you could go through it step by step for us beginners. You are the master of these instruments. So please again can you do some step by step videos for us!
The Analog 4 and those Parameter locks are sick ya stick
different patches(sounds) for each step! very cool.
very nice work dude! i love this machine...it seems to be very powerfull and to offer so much possibilities....i want it now!
So, so good. Truly awesome.
Your demo's are SO great... one thing I'd love to hear you do is make some really messed up dark-tweaked sounds and use them in a less predictable & non-grid (or multi-grid) manner to really show how free-range/form the sequences can get - a machine consumed with consuming itself... ;) If anyone can do this, YOU can. :) Thanks for all the fab examples.
Hi Cenk...Look forward to seeing you do something like this on the A4 MKII :)
This is hypnotic shit. I had to order my A4 just because of this video :)
:DDDD beeen there played it
Excellent demo!
Went from b.o.c. to masivly orbital in that first jam. Like it. What a nice bit of kit
After owning and using A4 for a few weeks I start to understand what Dataline is doing in this video.

Justin McCamish thanks! please post how to work with chain/song mode. and your thoughts on approaching this machine as a composing/performing tool.
+Justin McCamish Heh, yes, after a year of practice really makes the difference! Still having my elektrons (A4 and Rytm), and while those are every now and then a bit quirky, I'll stick with them! Awesome machines. Cannot approach Dataline's Elektron Ninja level, but at least I'm not slaughtered on first level anymore.
Did you post description ? If yes- could you share the link? Or write your name you use at elektronauts
you really have fast hands, dude. I got my A4 last week and only dream about mastering it to your level.
Has to be my favorite A4 jam. incredible stuff.
This thing just sounds so damn good.
Superb in every way!
This is invaluable, thank you so much !
Damn man! That second composition was sick😉😎.
Beautiful. Elektron should have you on their payroll.
awesome device, awesome work
Great Video, I want one of these now.
Sencillamente BRUTAL! 🔊💫
You are very familiar with this machine. And musically skilled.
Really great video. Sounds nice to me. Does this have swing or swing per sound and is there any way of quantising the stuff you record using the mini keyboard?

The high quality DSP reverb really adds big time on this box.
The beginning sounds like BoC. Ellerine saglik dostum :)
:)
What a joy to watch a man who so knows his instrument, such a delight to listen to a man who can do music on it.
What a pain it must be wearing strap on binoculars to read that screen at the same time . .
wow, sounds amazing!!
Truly amazing man
Sounds so good
Okay, now I really want one of these.
Simply amazing!!!!
I LOVE THAT TRACK!
Love this tune!
omg i listen to it all the time
Sehr gut Schon der Anfang hat überzeugt den Syn. zu kaufen wer sich auskennt sieht wie schnell man hier zum ziel kommt
great sound! first part sounds like Orbital :)
Great jam!
Absolutely awesome music :)
dataline you're a boss
Thanks Mr Dataline :)
Thanks, great sound indeed.
Great tutorial and this equipment
Very nice sound
i'm pretty sure one of those sounds was me shitting my pants.
You are not a very good person.
+Yury Est You are not a very unuptight person.
+unabonger777 No, that was just me shifting around nervously in my chair, craving an Elektron Analog Four.
+unabonger777 WTF???
hahahahahaa
Sweet. Do you find you wish it had more fx per channel rather than just sends? Really lovely stuff. Can get not far off a finished track with just this one piece of gear! Is all the automation recorded in your DAW or can it be so you can edit your performance later?
wow...the machine is one thing, the other thing is to operate with...very good..
I'd enjoy seeing that sleight of hand a few more times for reference!
That's pretty cool. Thanks a lot mate. Any thoughts of my other questions below. Think I might be ordering one too very soon. Really liked the track you ended up with too. Good melodic techno :)

You're good at that
I don't think a sequencer and a few voices is anything to be scared of, Mr. Fingers seems to have done pretty well with 'Can you feel it' ;)
effing glorious!!! thanks much for this!
