Emmanuel Top - Acid Phase (live version with Elektron Analog Four, Virus TI, Ableton)

Published on Jul 9, 2013

"JUST FOR FUN I created a remix of Emmanuel Top´s all time rave classic "Acid Phase". I used no samples from the original. Instead I programmed a (slightly different from the original) 303 pattern on the Elektron Analog Four. The hookline is made with a sample from the "X-Static Goldmine" CD which has been used A LOT in the early 90s by the techno producers. It features basically ALL classic rave samples that we know from the early techno days. For further fun I added the Virus TI later.
Everything has been sequenced and launched live in Ableton with TouchAble and Mackie Control."

Jam with Moog Mother 32 & Elektron Analog Rytm & Heat

Published on Feb 22, 2018 Victor Roy

"Jam session over a simple sequence on the two Moog Mother 32. Gate out of one of the Mothers is modulating the other one's VCF cut-off. The Digitakt is just used to start the built-in sequences of the Moog Mothers 32 & tempo sync the Elektron Analog Rytm. The envelop follower of the Elektron Analog Heat is on modulating the low pass filter and slighty driving the Elektron Analog Rytm (Classic Dist engine). Added Valhalla Shimmer Reverb to the Mothers. No EQ or mastering applied."

Live performance with Digitakt, Moog Sub 37, Mother 32, Korg Kronos, Elektron Analog Rytm & Heat

Published on Feb 3, 2018 Victor Roy

"Digitakt is acting as master MIDI controlling a Korg Kronos, Moog Sub 37, 2x Moog Mother 32 and a Moog Minitaur. Elektron Analog Rytm for the beats processed by Elektron Analog Heat. Some reverb added with Propellerhead Reason. No EQ, no mastering and no samples.

Elektrosphere

"Take a journey through 128 new sounds for your Elektron Analog Keys/Four

Elektrosphere for the Elektron Analog Keys/Four will propel your synthesizer through a refreshing new world of unique sounds! Elektrosphere is the result of one month of careful programming, and attention to making the most musically useful sounds. All New Wave Presets sounds offer a higher level of quality than what you will find from many other preset packs. For Analog Keys players all sounds have useful parameters mapped to the modulation joystick. All volume levels have been checked for consistency, feedback, resonance spikes, and distortion. And all categories of sounds are included to make many complete compositions using just this sound set alone.

Elektrosphere includes a nice selection of classic sounds, such as emulations of vintage synths, and acoustic instruments, but focuses on other worldly sounds and atmospheres. This package also features a convenient layout starting with basses, leads, keys, pads, and so on, listed by order of type and arranged alphabetically."

Analog Drums Volume 2

"128 of the finest drum sounds available for the Elektron Analog Keys/Four

Actual Memories - Compilation Tribute In Memory of Ryan Faubion

Daren Ager wrote in to let me know that the Elektron user community has gathered together to create a compilation in memory of Ryan Faubion, the former administrator of Elektron-Users.com. The funds raised from the release will go to his family.

"It is a community effort to help raise funds for the family of the administrator of the Elektron Users forum Ryan Faubion who sadly passed away earlier this year. He is survived by a wife and young son."

via http://actual-memories.com/
"As the former administrator of Elektron-Users.com, Ryan Faubion will leave behind an online community that encompasses his desire to bring artists together. Ryan's dedication to and belief in the community of artists on Elektron-Users.com was reflected in his ready willingness to lend a hand and to connect people. From musicians, tinkerers, and device designers to noise-makers, sound-sculptors and Elektron-users, Ryan fostered, maintained and developed a community that connected, and will continue connecting, artists from across the world. A talented graphic designer and musician in his own right, Ryan's passion for bringing people together was rivaled only by his love for art.

As a tribute to Ryan's enduring influence and in thanks, the Elektron-Users.com community presents »Actual Memories«. All of the funds collected from the sale of the compilation will go to Ryan's family."
