Elektron Analog Keys

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

Overbridge enabled

Overbridge is the easy way in. For the first time in history analog synthesizers and drum machines can be seamlessly integrated in DAW environments. The magic of using an Elektron Analog instrument as a fully featured VST plugin is a breakthrough experience.

Premium analog synthesizer

Conceived with the modern artist in mind and with a rich and deep tone representing the pinnacle of analog synthesis. The Analog Keys is a superior synthesizer whose unmatched sound puts it in a class all by itself.

Performance optimized

The Analog Keys effortlessly bridges the gap between artist and instrument. The keyboard and assignable joystick give instant fingertip control of the analog tones. Seamless integration of the sequencer completes the experience.
