Cenk perfectly illustrates how genuine enthusiasm and love for a product is the best way to MAKE ME WANT TO HAVE THIS.
It's 2022. I have a MkII arriving tomorrow. I am so pumped for it (pun intended). Cenk's enthusiasm feels so genuine. Sure, he's a sales man for them but when the really amazing sounds take shape you can see he's inspired. Hopefully I'll be just as inspired tomorrow 😎
Is that an Elektron t-shirt? Probably the only Elektron gear I could ever afford. I want it!
I didn't think I would be picking this up until watching this presentation...
Analog filter/eq/fx + audio interface + overbridge.... why are people complaining about the price point?
i love watching these guys ... how theyre so engaged and obsessed, and im blown away by their knowledge and articulation
I know Cenk works for Elektron, but you can tell he's really into the device, as he makes that "this is awesome" face several times during the video. If you watch the Analog Four presentation video, he does the same thing a couple of times. It's fun to see a demonstrator so into his work.
This will be amazing for both hip pop and techno producers.
Usually the people complaining about the price of Electron stuff has never used them. Once you have then you will understand, it's worth every penny!
badaszewski I spent twenty years saying the same thing about Apple products
@@madmac66 planned obsolescence mean anything to you?
Alex Rae Yep, that’s my retirement plan
@@madmac66 lol
@@raedius_music Planned obselescence... Someone had better tell my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro i7 that it's supposed to be obselete, because it still runs like a dream! I mean okay, I had to replace the battery and the screen hinge is a bit wobbly, but come on, nearly a decade? And the last guy to own it was the editor for MasterChef.
Sounds fantastic. On my list for next year.
great product demo, guys! great product elektron! i take back whatever i said before - this is much more than a $750 fuzz box.
Richard Hilton absolutely! I'll never afford this (for my purposes), but considering what people pay for high end analog processing or boards, this is a nice box to fulfill those needs for people who mostly produce in the box.
I love those analog processing boxes. I have a Vermona Retroverb Lancet and some features overlap, a great little effects unit with drive, a resonant multimode filter, env follower, low and high frequency boost, a lfo with different shapes, sample & hold modulation and.. a spring reverb. Cheaper and highly recommended!
I love mine as well, it's an excellent option.
i wish it was stereo i/o though if i wanted to use it on bus signals
I love mine aswell. love the envelope follower that can react to trig or audio. cool litle box. looks evil too!
I love mine too, my favorite piece of gear. It can, however, get pretty noisy
That vermona box is sweet indeed. But this is a beast of a slightly more aggressive flavor. Espescially in the scope of what the analog heat does.
Ace. Love Cenk's joy at the end. "Yes, yes. That will be great" (It is)
This is guy is great, he genuinely loves this thing. I think it sounds amazing and I'd love to have one if I could afford it.
Love the idea of warming up digital signals with this
yeeeessssssssssss!!!!
Cenk is my favorite guest on Sonicstate!
The ability to use this as an audio interface will be a game-changer for some, myself included. There is simply too much utility in this box. I suppose it's time to start selling my blood again.
If I only had known that watching this video would cost me 800 euros.
MrKrisstain same here :D
lol
“Good things will come for those who wait”
Finally bought it two weeks ago...621 euros new
At the Elektron webshop it’s still 799 ?
Jacco I picked up a mint used heat for $500! Love it.
Cenk and Nick do the best demos. Thanks!
They finally got the right LED screen for their products. Sounds great too!
MonoMachine has the best imo
Mark GP Atherton yeah contrast
Bought this about 6 months ago. Had to think hard about parting with so much cash. SO, SO, SO worth it. I will never sell this lovely box. Literally makes everything you put through it sound like GOLD!!!
Was even better than I had hoped. Only watching this cause I was looking to see what crazy things people might be doing with it. Inspired by this thorough explanation. Can't wait to get back in the studio now.... I hadn't really been even using the LFOs, and it still has being blowing my mind the past six months. Filter was an added bonus that I didn't think I'd use as much as I do.. . even without using LFO!! ,,, Amazing bit of kit. Highly recommended and actually it's a bargain for what you get ;)
Fran Hartnett cool how does it sound on soft synths? And on a master bus inside the box. What I’m getting is you can run you daw thru this all analog box correct? I’m debating if I’m gonna buy one
Always fun seeing Cenk and Nick talking about cool gear.
Thanks sonic state this looks really interesting and i like it more than i thought i would. Elektron are a very cool company and i always like the interaction between Nick and Cenk. Both gentlemen. Good Day.
love they way he ended it with a machinedrum and monomachine :)
This thing is massive, only wish it had sequencing capabilities onboard for p-locking. DAW automation will do, I suppose. Looking forward to the inevitable "Elektron Digital Chill" too...;)
damned changed my mind, this box is the shit. absolutelly will change my life
Thanks Nick for this video about the Elektron Analog Heat. Was not so hyped by this news but after this demonstration, I see the advantage of this effect unit with the feature that you can use it as interface sounds also great. For me it's not really a distortion unit but more an analog dirty maker for signals :)
Got an AH MKI in 2023, still feels relevant and exciting! Great work Elektron on building classic gear.
Cool product, and nice sounding as well. Personally i have never felt the need for a unit with 8 discrete analog distortion modes, though. Seem like quite an overkill to me. I hope they come to good use.
The host really loves the sound of his own voice.
I'd like to hear how it would sound on soft synths like sylenth etc so see if it removed that sort of plastic sound they have
the price for the "heat" is too hot for my tastes.
m ej haha yeah thats for sure, you could buy another synth for that much.
All the Elektron stuff is pretty pricey... :(
Don't forget it functions as an interface!
Bone Alias yeah but who doesnt have an audio interface at this time.
CalvinSomething ok I am starting to get "hot under the collar" heyohh!
This is another great presentation to Sonic State. But Cenk is relaxed and super excited. Very cool to see him so loose, so enthused. His excitement about this product is so evident...and it does really sound good. Considering the price for a stereo distortion + envelope follower + filter...well done, Elektron. Seems like it fits nicely between lower-end solutions and higher-end rack units.
Love this guy's enthusiasm and a great product to match. Just need to rob a bank brb
Ahh the envelope follower functionality is back. I've been missing it since the MachineDrum - it was awesome. Pipe in a bassline, fiddle with the envelope follower and filter settings and you got some great new sounds. It's a shame they missed it in the Octatrack and Rytm. It's back in this very expensive form factor.
It sounds extremely beautiful.
they should make a rack mount version for bus mixing hopefully the filter is midi programable
tabletop version works great for bus mixing. Pop in a USB cable, open as VST or au plug-in, and go to town! Every parameter is controllable via MIDI but why bother? When you use Elektron Analog series instruments, you can automate parameters at way finer resolution than MIDI, directly by controlling and automating the plug-in, super clean.
Excellent review!
Thanks for remembering to ask about the sample rate because the manual doesn't even say.
This is way too cool for me to be this late to the party. Pleasantly surprised 😲
Great demo. I'm looking forward to adding this to my setup. It seems to be what I've been looking for.
For what it does, and how useful it could be in a high end studio, not a terrible price I think.
It really does sound good. All of those distortions sounded so pleasant and non-intrusive.
I really like how Elektron design stuff. They surely make premium quality equipment, I'd love to have an analog heat but Its out of my price range. If I could spare the cash i'd go buy one instantly
This video sold me something I didn't even know I wanted....
Trent Reznor and Atticus are going to love this.
Oh great, can't wait to hear more detuned piano ran through distortion for their next 5 Hollywood soundtracks. :P
John Doe yes, but so tastefully applied. :)
jason mastrandrea Sure. I personally don't find their soundtrack stuff interesting and while The Downward Spiral is in my top 10 albums of all time, I don't find modern day NIN to be invigorating. Rather bland to my taste. And I listen to a lot of industrial and darker electronic stuff. People will surely disagree but I personally think their current stuff is overrated. Alessandro Cortini on the other hand.... I have yet to hear something by him that doesn't get me excited or lull me into a euphoric state. He should definitely be a larger part of NIN's albums. Amazing talent that guy has. Or Chelsea Wolfe's latest Abyss album sounds incredible. People should ask her to do their soundtracks. BUT these are just the opinions of a simple man.
I agree about more Cortini. Have you seen his sonic state feature? Great look into his gear and methodology.
Oh yeah! His awesome synth cave with all the Elektron stuff on the back wall, giant modulars, and vintage synths stuffed everywhere. He is definitely going to make use of this Heat box. I hope we get a new album from him in the same style as the Red and Blue albums. The drone stuff is damn good but he can sing and get a good beat going too!
this is priced right. wish it was in a 19in rack format though.
@sonicstate do you have a dead (white) pixel in on of your cameras? 18:17 just above your left ear from the viewers perspective...
Sure, it's a crunchy biscuit! :D
I love Cenk, best company 'promo-guy/fan-boy' ever.
This thing looks amazing. When I first saw it, I was also surprised by the price for a distortion/filter box. But 10 minutes into this demo I realized this is going to be a great product that will sell well among people who can afford and who use high-end gear. This isn't just an effects box -- it's a serious tool for music production or gigging. A lot of people here are complaining about the pricing -- well, guess what, it is expensive to design and produce high-quality gear like this. Elektron make high quality stuff and their prices are in line if you are making sensible comparisons. (i.e., don't compare this to Korg, please -- not that I don't love lots of Korg stuff!). Consider that Moog's ladder filter in 500 series is $500 -- just for a filter. Yes you can imitate a lot of this ITB, but it isn't going to sound the same and certainly isn't going to feel the same as using a piece of hardware. I could see myself processing a ton of stuff through this in my studio. I'll probably have to wait until I can get one of these used or on sale, but I'd love one.
The more extreme sounds are surely usable for the kind of live setting presented in the very end of the video. There are less examples of processing more subtle audio source such as for example vocals, so it's hard to tell how good the device is on that front. Then again it is called Analog Heat, so I guess heavy distortion is its forté in the end.
Sounds very good. I think the price is justified, considering it has 8 effects, an amp, filter/eq, lfo, presets and stereo. Most single tone and function guitar pedals go between $100-$200. Unfortunate that you can't run effects in serial though.
No pulse width on Lfo with filter destination?
Starting watching feeling I didn't want it. Ended by immediately adding it to my next purchase list! 😄
I have on of these and it's perfect for mix bus processing, or stem mixing, it's the only piece of gear I can't live without. Waiting for analogue heat 3 - next generation, so much potential
Can someone tell me how i would use this in my setup without a mixer? just a couple of synths, maschine and a soundcard.
When will Overbridge be available for this product?
souldn't heat apply analog soft clip the signal before coming back, on the overbridge plugin output?
Pioneer RMX 1000 has similar things, like 3band EQ, LFO effects, Distortion, sample play, plug in and more.., is stereo, but ofcourse all digital. and price was similar i think around 750 if i remember well, so Analog heats price is reasonable for beeing analog hybrid with soundcard! super product, thanks Nick! peace!
@Mr Dataline You made me buy the OT, then the AR, then the AK, now the AH.
I'm broke now, but would do it all over again. Happy with every single purchase!
How do I control the Heat via Midi ? I mean all the parameters? How can they get controlled via midi?
Another mini-lcd display? For that price it should have a display like Maschine Studio!
Any of you guys tried this as an audio interface? Just plug a preamp into the line-ins? Is the latency ok?
this box is real sweet i might have to get one
they need to make 1 massive drum machine with sequencer and all these fx.full analog circuitry with digital ease and maybe filter envelopes. i think you can make great 909 house kicks with this. and some awesome hip hop basstortion.
Still not get why analog effects are "best" than digital. Could anybody
clarify? I have a bunch of analog gear pluged to my DAW filter/effects
and I do not see inmediatly the benefits of getting extra analog filters or
effects (with the exception of certain filters). I see the advantage of the interface and the real-time
accesibility but, I don't know, sound-wise for me, I do not see mayor
changes
Victor Roy If you don't hear a difference, don't worry about it.
Digital distortion has a huge problem with aliasing. You can somewhat combat that with oversampling but that eats up a ton of CPU.
Analog distortion sounds like the real deal without complicating things.
the idea that you can use at as a plug in is brilliant and it makes it a lot more versatile. I'd assume you can use it on a return track right?
seems like the peak but without the synth
same process with analogue filters, distotion and digi effects.
This is actually a pretty good price when considering all the individual pedals one would have to purchase to recreate these Drives, Etc. Plus it's Analog Distortion. So I'm guessing it's exponential distortion, "possibly multi-polar (High and Low Mixes like a Doepfer A-136 DIS Module)", as opposed to linear distortion found in digital drive and overdrive pedals..
out of the 8 unique circuits, a wide variety of distortion / overdrive methods are explored
This guy is awesome! Great demo!
cost?
Dear Santa ! Another amazing elektron product :)
Awesome device. Can anyone tell me if I am right presuming that I can use the filter and dry wet to apply saturation to specific areas only ? Like „distort Highs above 12khz only“ ? Or „only distort bass „ ?
that is one useful box of tricks. that's a lot of guitar pedals replaced for one thing. price seems reasonable to me, and I love the elektron aesthetics. what's the build quality like?
AndyQ build quality is great. I mean don't throw them, but the boxes feel professional, based on using a few other Elektrons
Ryan Dadey Thanks, glad to hear that. I don't live anywhere near a dealer so it's aways a gamble ordering online without reviews and opinions from peeps who know the gear
u could totally throw it, it's built like a tank
I love Elektron's products! Very inventive designs, I have many of them but damn I'm going broke, you guys are making too many great machines!!
I use digitakt so can I resample each track through heat mk1 to digitakt?
can you run mono sources through this as well?
I would love this unit as a 19" rack mount for last in chain audio processing for live situations.
I am impressed, wanted an Iotine core for ages, but getting hold of one is a pita, not to mention import, duty etc. I think people forget this is stereo and an audio interface. Is the input treated as another soundcard? Do you need to make an aggregate device ?
Excellent sound as external effects unit (I've got one) but, at least on my case, unstable if you want to use with Overbridge.
this is really cool.
will the plugin work with other daw's?
Be ideal if you could jump the effects around like on the JD990
A similar idea in my opinion are plugins like Quadrafuzz v2 and iZotope has a version of it as well.
I really like the idea of this in my setup since I don't have any outboard signal processing. Any body know of a rack mount unit that works like this?
Is this EL/LED display going to be a new trend for upcoming Elektron boxes? That would be nice.
In Ableton Live its only possible to use one soundcard at a time, on PC. So using Heat with the plugin DAW integration will the Heat become the exclusive soundcard for Live?
Not on macs: you can create an aggregate device that includes multiple sound sources. Also with Overbridge you can bring in sound as if the external Elektron unit was a VST, which leaves open your regular soundcard setup.
Pretty sure when you use Analog Heat as VST in Live, the plug-in itself handles the incoming audio, on both Mac and Windows - freeing up your existing soundcard to keep doing what it does.
Kim Svendsen with the overbridge plugin, you do not need to use aggragated audio device. So in other words, your sound card n overbridge units can be handled seperate and work together
Nick: "Oh Cenk, i like the Square Wave, could you go to the Square Wave ..." What i really missed is that he asked: Can it do Pulsewidth-Modulation? :-D
Don't get me wrong I like the unit but not with the price tag... If you throw in built-in skymon verb... With bmp delay
Sounds freaking amazing!
Very nice sounding box, although you're going to get a lot of noise in your tunes when you record through it. Even the Clean Boost setting with the drive lower than noon, adds noise.
I am not going to even mention the amount of noise the other modes, add to the signal.
Double checked by having nothing in the input to make sure I was not simply amplifying noise present in the signal path, before the Heat.
So yeah, adding tracks that have been recorded through it and then also the final mix makes me wonder why I payed so much for this.
I would use it to fatten up my mixes ,it's not that needed if you use a daw which will have stacks of effects
23:50~ "you can put it that way" LMAO
It really reminds me of the features that the Waves MetaFilter plugin comes with!
Sounds really good. Could never justify the price unfortunately though. Seems a lot for what it does, analog or otherwise.
I understand this thing has a high price point but people seem to forget all those strymon boxes that are $500+ those are great too.
This thing does a LOT for under 1000 bucks.
Little Gator Farm I've seen Slovak girls do plenty more for plenty less..she'll get ure knobs wet and distort you as well..1000 bucks! Ull get the full red light experience for that ,talk about HEAT ,ull b burning up quicker than a junkies spoon
Gotta hand it to them, this does sound really really nice!.
The price is of course from having 8 separate analogue circuits. And I have no doubt the great sound will convince quite a few people to buy it. But I think they've missed a crucial detail, that will cost them in the long run.
Listening to it I would love to have 1, but to justify both cost and the physical space, it would need to work as a soundcard. Yes it _can_ do that, but then you notice you can't control main output and headphone output separately, and that's a *massive* pain in the ass. I'm personally not inclined to pay 800€ for an annoying soundcard/effectsbox, and I think a lot of people, like ITB'ers who would otherwise love the analogue sound, will agree, so not adding that headphone level control looks like an embarrassing and costly oversight.
Might as well get FabFilter Saturn for 1/6 the cost (or 1/12 on discount like I did), which also sounds great, is multiband, doesn't take up room or USB ports, and runs as many instances as you like. Paired with a better and/or cheaper dedicated soundcard.
There are of course plenty of people that don't need or want the soundcard function, but considering what most of them already have in their setup, and the price of this, I don't think this offers enough new to them to justify the cost. They will just drive their synths, mixers, and hardware effects as they always have.
Again, this sounds great, and will appeal to a lot of people. But I just don't get this trend of alienating massive chunks of the potential market with miniscule omissions, or unnecessary destructive additions.
Marc the Darc yeah good points, also with Fabfilter you could have multiple instances of it instead of just one.
Marc the Darc Saturns always in my effects chain, one of my fav plugins ever, but that fuzz circuit sounds so nice. I am willing to swallow that tag integration aside.
Interesting - I registered the soundcard / overbridge aspect of it as a useful afterthought. I can't justify buying one at the cost, but I see an incredible use for it as a live processor.
Bromeliads My point exactly! It's a great processor first and foremost. But it's so expensive most can't really justify it on that merit alone. Enter the soundcard; when it does both, it starts making more sense for those that could use it as both. But they've cut those people off by leaving out a small but crucial part of the soundcard functionality.
round fuzz sounds like comb filter sorta
Sounds nice...good demo
This is seriously a great unit!!
if its not difficult to operate then its not an elektron product
Damn you Cenk, always prying my Visa card out of my wallet.
Dataline is here !!!!!!!! Yeahhhh your're the best !
amazing sounding piece of gear, great demo. thanks
