The Analog Four has a huge range but I don’t think it’s particularly beginner friendly due to the large array of parameters accessed by just 10 knobs. Its flexibility also means it has fewer “sweet spots” than simpler synths - it’s not as easy to make something that sounds great by messing with a few knobs compared to e.g. the Roland SH01A.

I think for a beginner it’s more helpful to have as many controls as possible accessible hands on, rather than having to go to different pages and have different knobs do different things depending on context.

Analog Four is awesome as you get more experienced though as you can create a whole track on it if you are creative!

I’d personally probably go for a Korg Minilogue as a beginner these days…
