Elektron Analog Four: Control Voltage Disco Madness

Published on Dec 17, 2012 by Arjen Schat

"Elektron Analog Four + Octatrack and Doepfer Dark Time + Dark Energy.

In this video I utilise the control voltage of the Analog Four. Both the clock and the pitch of the Dark Time are voltage controlled by the Analog Four, which in its turn is synced via MIDI by the Octatrack. Note that the Dark Time has the tendency to go off pitch once in a while. The audio from the Dark Energy is routed to the external input of the Analog Four and the A4's output goes through the Octatrack. The drums are sampled from my SCI Tom and Drumtraks."

Moog Music is excited to work closely with The Bob Moog Foundation, the City of Asheville, our fans and partners to make Moogfest 2013 a dynamic celebration of the innovative spirit of Bob Moog.

Moogfest 2013 will honor Bob's passion for new ideas, technical curiosity and of course will support boundary pushing musical artists.

Rest assured, Asheville will always be the home of Moogfest.

Music is our business, along with user experience and innovation. Moogfest 2013 will bring all of these aspects of Moog to the forefront." - Emmy Parker, Sr. Marketing and Brand Manager, Moog Music Inc.
