Description
Analog Keys
The Analog Keys is a flagship analog synthesizer. Analog synthesis, digital controls, and unprecedented playability make it an instrument for the expressive musician.
Conceived with the modern artist in mind and with a rich and deep tone representing the pinnacle of analog synthesis. The Analog Keys is a superior synthesizer whose unmatched sound puts it in a class all by itself.
The Analog Keys effortlessly bridges the gap between artist and instrument. The keyboard and assignable joystick give instant fingertip control of the analog tones. Seamless integration of the sequencer completes the experience.
Simply press a button to transform the Analog Keys into a MIDI keyboard, ready to handle external MIDI gear. The dedicated CV sequencer and the CV/Gate and DIN sync outputs are ideal for augmenting vintage and modern rigs alike.
Total Sound Control
The critically acclaimed Elektron step sequencer gives unprecedented control over synth and FX parameters. Alter the parameters of each individual note for maximal expression. It is even possible to change synth patches per sequencer step.
Dual Filter Force
The 4-pole lowpass ladder filter and 2-pole multi-mode filter of each voice are incredible tools when shaping sounds. The overdrive circuit of the filter section can add gentle warming or total destruction. All bases are covered.
A Voice For Every Situation
Voice allocation is fully customizable. The Analog Keys can be used as a polyphonic four voice synthesizer, as four separate monophonic synthesizers, in a four note unison mode, or anything in between. Lush chords and huge mono sounds: have it all.
Brilliant FX
The effects section of the Analog Keys is a perfect match for the strong analog tones. Use chorus, delay and reverb for situating sounds in vast cathedrals, bottomless pits and head-spinning rotating rooms. The FX make things shine.
External Processing
Two audio inputs allow processing of external audio. The scenarios are many. Use the Analog Keys as a stereo analog filterbank, controlled by the sequencer and the other modulation sources. Or as an FX box. Or a mix of both.
Convenient Storage
Sounds can of course be stored. Save the best sounds and create a collection of the most inspiring analog patches, ready to be recalled at all times. No tedious recreation of analog patches is necessary. This machine is instant.
