Blending (+bending) electronic styles, alka is vast enough for wide open spaces or condensed urban settings. it is the place where lucidity and obscurity meet.

For all newcomers, welcome! I am an electronic music producer who has worked with lovely folks such as Roger O’Donnell (the Cure / Thompson Twins), Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode / Yazoo / Erasure), Christian Savill (Slowdive / Monster Movie), etc. Pls give a follow! Always up for collaboration as well.
Nice to have a sparkle of hope. ✨

and for anyone keeping track - i've since returned. deceptively not as powerful as it needs to be. No EQ tonal control at all at least as of firmware 1.0.3, and i had a hard time getting the reverb and overall mix to sound decent without.
Well, I ordered a Tonverk. After parting with my Octatrack a couple years back I've been missing the @elektron.se experience. My love for their gear started with the MachineDrum after @rogerodonnell.com convinced me I needed one sometime in the early aughts.
