Analog Four upbeat house

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Thanks. Honestly this is one of the limitations of the Analog Four, as there aren't separate audio out ports for each track. I'm done with this track, I only did a bit of light compression in FL Studio using some VST plugins. I normally use this in the studio for single sounds, record them and use them in my DAW. Would be amazing if each track had a separate out, but you find ways around it.

Really nice to stumble across something with the A4 that is not ambient experimental techno! Really cool - well done :D

[@canigetuuhhh]

I really LOVE that bassline.

[@sbookholt]

Great performance! Lots of variations in sound design and performance.

[@sirmemprod]

Nice workflow. Nice song also, but really inspiring workflow and techniques.

[@Mariosprt]

Great tune, and great demo of the potential of the A4. I'm seriously considering this as my first analog. I also checked your Bandcamp, I thought this had a Boratto influence :) I'm a fan too, awesome emotional techno!

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Cheers man, good ear for the Boratto influence

[@zhoumygod]

this is awesome

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Thank you!

[@camus2457]

Woooww... cheers mate, best analog four song I've ever seen...

[@micedevice2389]

Hi! I´ve seen this video many times. This is great. Thank yopu for sharing. The reloading technique is awsome...I´ve will try it ;)

[@polishbroadcast]

Super impressive! You can make lots of racket with 4 note polyphony. Nice work.

[@jeroen2062]

luv this tune!

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Four: - For the beginning, - When the hats come in at 0:44 - When the open hats are added at 2:28 - and one more for the breakdown at 5:15 Most of the variation is done with the performance knobs, and changing key lots using the transpose function (kept transpose locked on the keyboard by pressing Function + Transpose) Thanks for watching/listening :)

[@boobooshooboo5977]

Still the best jam for showing a4s single box capabilities

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Thanks very much! I'm planning to do more soon.

[@indieclock]

this was: awesome and fun. exciting and good-natured. inspiring and listenable.

[@d_o_r_m_a_n_t]

well this was the video I was looking for! now I think I'll get an Analog 4, after much searching. it's always seemed esoteric to me and i've dismissed it, but after a few vids, this one being the tipping point, i'm thinking maybe i should learn the ways

[@kostantinosmag2986]

Nice one

[@MattKeenanMusic]

That's high praise! Got a new one like this in the works, should have a video out soon. Thanks :)

[@aikighost]

Amazing work my friend both futuristic and retro at the same time. Elektron should be using this video as a promo if you ask me :)

[@vicksplace]

this is fantastic!

[@jaredelmore1]

your good man! damn! musical . id dance my ass off to this in some live setting somewhere. You should play out soon. Tell them to book you so you can rock the house ! :)

[@johndude70]

Nice work.

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Thanks for watching :)

[@MayenMusic]

You are BOSS!

[@kaktakovoi81]

Very helpful video!

[@AllGoodWood]

thanks for making me consider the A4 over the Octatrack!!!

[@Skybrations]

Wow, nice performance! :)

[@MarcS4R]

man thats sick !! awesome tune

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Also muting track 3 (for the hats and snare) and track 2 (for the main synth) add more variation.

[@petersson68]

wow geile nummer :-) :-)

[@lulu54830]

Very great track dude !! How did you the continous "Rollin" bassline ? Can't wait for other track ;) !

[@KarynRobertsUSA]

Impressive - most impressive. :)

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Thanks man. Well, the kick is on beats 1, 5, 9, and 13, so the bass is just put on all the 16th notes in between :)

[@john9291]

very cool man! jeezus, Elektron need to get you onboard.

[@DayflightTrok]

Good man!

[@attractor9]

cool

[@flowerpower111]

Beautiful track! How would one go about mixing this now?

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Cheers ;)

[@pesret]

sounds like ost & kjex-boston food strangler

[@krikks]

This is awsome :D hope youll make some tutorials ;D

[@kirillostrovskiy]

Wow! How many patterns you use in this track?

[@indieclock]

might i also add that this A4 demo gives everyone a much better idea of how "drums" can be achieved in a cohesive track.

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@m1ndsetstudio]

So sick Is the analog four keyboard the same with just keys ? I want this but I don't know if you can do drums on the keys version Wow

[@joostschols649]

yes you can

[@m1ndsetstudio]

Joost Schols thanks, went and got the analog four anyway I already got a komplete kontrol and figured the four would still be cool Cheers 👍🏾👍🏾

[@joonajaakkola3865]

Hey dude! I've enjoyed all your videos. I've been thinking about getting A4 as my first hardware synth. Do you recommend it as a first synth? Where did you learn all this stuff - just toying around with the synth? Thanks and keep making these vids!

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Hey Joona, This was my first hardware synth. Although I have a lot of experience with software synthesizers and sequencers. So yeah, it's doable, but it'll take a lot of getting used to, especially the interface. Definitely read the manual over a few times, look at KZbin videos, lots of helpful tips if you read the forums (elektronauts). Most of all experiment with it, make up your own sounds, and mess around with parameters in the preset sounds to see how they're made. If it's possible, go try one of these at a shop before buying. Thanks for watching, and good luck choosing your first synth :)

[@spidos1000]

this or a moog mother 32?

[@Naapeajaea]

Great tune mate ! My wife kinda dug it also... And that says quite a lot considering she doesn't normally get into this type of stuff. Mind you she has been rather clucky lately after some of her friends have been getting pregnant and she likes your baby hands.... (Jokes) keep up the good work with the tunes...

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Haha! Glad you both enjoyed it (whatever you enjoyed in the video anyway...). I'm losing weight at the moment (currently at 2 stone lost) so next time I make a video my hands shouldn't be so podgy ;)

[@micedevice2389]

+Matt Keenan Excellent work! A couple of years ago I was between a A4 and Intellijel Metropolis + Atlantis...I went into modular (or semi-modular I should say).....but your vid makes me want to finally get the A4. Should it go along well with my Tempest?....I think so.... ....by the way I would love to have those hands if they play like that!

[@dunaewsky69]

!!

[@alien_brain]

its ok but its not house
