"One of the most innovative items Yamaha produced. It's got the same sound chip as a TX81z, deliciously grainy effects, a sequencer, basic sound editing from the front panel --- oh, and a clock. By Clock, I mean days, months years, hours clock. It has a real time clock chip inside, and when the screen times out, you get a nice clock.

You can see pictures of this machine, and internals of this unit, and general information here.

My unit has Click Out modification that I developed. The machine has a metronome you can turn on, but it's a very loud, very harsh digital beep which is added after the volume control. If you insert a jack into the socket on the right of the machine, it outputs this beep through that socket. You can then run it through a channel on your mixer, EQ down the harshness, use it to trigger tap-tempo equipment without MIDI to keep it in tight synch with this."

Elektron Analog Four - This Machine Is Just the Beginning

Update: Perfect Circuit has it for slightly less and new.

Interesting message inside the box. The one thing the Analog Four cannot currently do is play all four voices as a standard polyphonic synth via a MIDI keyboard. Each voice is a separate synth so to speak. You can line notes up in a sequence to play chords, but you can't play them like a standard poly synth. It will be interesting to see where they take this technology next. Personally I always found four voices in a standard poly to be a bit short. Five voices in say the Prophet-5 seems to be the minimum when playing anything with longer release times. Six or more of course is better.

"These units are rare and make amazing dub sounds, none other than the legendary Jah Shaka used one of these for those dub siren sound effects.
As well as dub, the X2 can produce a wide range of other sounds, from really tight and snappy 808 snare sounds to 70′s disco toms.

The X2 can be triggered by almost any audio input signal, from the buttons on the front, a snare running from your software sequencer, a piezo trigger or even a microphone!
There are two identical channels containing:

Manual trigger button
Sensitivity control
Oscillate decay1
Oscillator decay 2
Noise decay
Sweep
Pitch
Wave form shape
Click on/off control
Noise filter
Osc/noise balance
Master volume
Audio On Off
Pre-set or manual switch"
