elektron analog keys price : $1,349.00

the analog keys is a flagship analog synthesizer. analog synthesis, digital controls, and unprecedented playability make it an instrument for the expressive musician.

premium analog synthesizer
the analog keys is a four voice polyphonic analog synthesizer, capable of generating the finest basslines, chords, leads, and sounds imaginable. the warm and deep tone represents the pinnacle of analog synthesisand the acclaimed elektron sequencer stands ready to arrange and warp the analog sounds in real-time. complete the experience by treating the four voices with incredibly well-crafted master effects. a new worldof sounds awaits.

performance optimized
the analog keys is tailor-made for the stage. the 37 semi-weighted keys of the keyboard give instant fingertip control of the analog tones. the special performance mode offers direct access to user-definedparameters, and the joystick, capable of controlling up to fifteen parameters, allows for extreme morphing of sounds. improvising when playing live has never been this easy.

heart of the rig
compatibility with other instruments is well catered for. simply press a button to transform the analog keys into a midi keyboard, ready to control external midi gear. thanks to the dedicated cv sequencer andthe cv/gate and din sync outputs, analog instruments of both today and yesteryear can be played, sequenced, and controlled with precision. use the multitude of control options to breathe new life in vintage andmodern rigs alike.

impeccable sound
the 100% analog signal path of the four synth voices has been designed for providing a best-in-class analog sound. two analog oscillators, two sub oscillators, dual analog filters and an analog overdrive circuitper voice provide that inimitable and organic sound. the power is striking.

seamless integration
the pieces just fit together. the keyboard, the performance mode, the midi controller functionality, the assignable joystick, the cv/gate and midi connectivity, and the fluent integration of the elektron stepsequencer are part of the reasons why the analog keys so effortlessly bridges the gap between artist and instrument. it is made to be played.

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 with user defined pitch spreadbetween the voices, or anything in between. lush chords and huge mono sounds: have it all.

dual filter force
the 4-pole lowpass ladder filter and 2-pole multi-mode filter of each voice are incredible tools when shaping sounds. to add more sonic crunch, the filter section also contains a fully analog overdrive circuit.the saturation can range from gentle warming to total destruction. all bases are covered.

brilliant fx
the effects section of the analog keys has been constructed from the ground up and is a perfect match for the strong analog tones. use the wideshift chorus, saturator delay and supervoid reverb for situatingsounds in acid cathedrals, the deepest abysses and head-spinning rotating rooms or for simply adding a final, subtle, audio finish. they make things shine.

the critically acclaimed elektron step sequencer gives full control over synth and fx parameters. create patterns and songs with ease and use parameter locks to lock track parameters to specific values. it iseven possible to change sounds per sequencer step; an unbeatable method when creating expressive patterns. the dedicated track sending cv/gate signals is perfect for sequencing external analog instruments.analog keys is in control.

wild modulation
the internal architecture opens up for extensive modulation possibilities. each synth voice offers two assignable lfos and envelopes, am cross-modulation, oscillator sync and dedicated lfos for both pulse widthmodulation and vibrato. the range of potential sounds is as wide as it possibly can get.

massive storage space
the +drive is the secret behind the vast internal space of the analog keys. thousands of patterns and kits can be stored and recalled with ease. the over 4000 sounds, all taggable and easy to locate, that canreside in the +drive sound library are always close at hand. save time by avoiding tedious recreation of analog sounds. this machine is instant.

connections, connections
individual stereo outputs for each voice plus a main output give audio routing freedom. the two audio inputs allow radical analog filtering and fx treatments of external sounds. two dual cv/gate outputs, a usbport and midi ports capable of sending din sync means the analog keys can communicate with everything from legacy instruments to computers. get connected.
