i try TANZBAR, DrumBrute, TR8, TR-08, TR-09, JOMOX 999, 888, MBASE11, VERMONA…
For those who want to make Live Performance… The RYTM is the better choice because it’s more than a Drum Machine.
I can have all the Power and Design in my Drums i looking for with Layering.
But Drum Layering on the RYTM MK1 need to be prepared outside of the RYTM, Properly Mixed with RYTM Synth machine and then imported… back (MK2 version will probably makes this step a bit more friendly). For people like me who didn’t like Synthesis on real Material sounds (like Hats, Rides…) Using Sample is a necessity …
People who don’t like the RYTM are people who are too attached to the classics 808 909… (for them TR8, TR-08, TR-09, JOMOX… is probably a better choice if they’re just after the classic sounds) and can not, or do not have the desire to modernize or break the codes of their own music genre.
The RYTM is way more powerful than any other Drum Machine on the Market (I mean NEW with Warranty). For those who want to make Live Performance, those who want to make their Beat Organic, those who want to get their own sound signature.
==> But you need time to develop all of this. The advantage is no-one will sound like you because you design your own drums… And Layering is 30% of the process where the other 70% is done by the RYTM Synth + Effects + Sequencer itself. Now you probably need to get out the Kick on it’s individual out and extend the Sound Shaping with all kind of external processing, depending on what you after.
That’s the problem with Hardware you need to think it as one VST. On a DAW, you put one VST but usually put some effects for processing and creative effects ? so then you need to do the same. If the Internal effects don’t gives you what you want.
Except each VST plugins cost at least 1000euros in the real world of hardware.
