Yes, maby should have bin abit less enthusiastic
You mean to say that you havenāt even unboxed your AR??
Iām confused.
OK Iām glad petition worked and update arrival yesterday ! Nice
No
Yesā¦me too
If youāre scared about the LCD being one of the defect ones that much, just sell the box and move on. But IMO youāre totally overreacting.
At the end of the day, your money, your choice.
If youāre sceptical return it. Thatās a huge amount of money. You need to trust your investment. To me thereās not so much company than Elektron who cares and listened their users. Who maintain the warranty even for the second hand userā¦ Fabrication is ok to me. These machine are powerful. You can fall on a bad one thatās happen. But I think trust your machines is important. And itās up to you. No one can change that. We seem to donāt complain at all or have problem in any way. my warranty ending in April 2017, I never have problem with OT, A4 and ARā¦ Iām a satisfy user in any way. But I can understandā¦ your point of view. Brand and Machine not suit everyone the same way.
And straightforward ā¦

jacco,
ik denk dat weinig mensen problemen hebben met de Elektron apparatuur. Bij normaal gedag gaat het apparaat heel erg lang mee. Natuurlijk brand het scherm in wanneer je altijd je synth aan laat staan. Er zijn altijd update problemenā¦ Er zijn altijd mensen die niet het juiste geluid eruit kunnen halen en zeggen dat het aan de engine komt. Er zijn altijd mensen die meer lfoās willen, meer engines, meer pads, zachtere pads, enzovoortsā¦
je kan je synth natuurlijk altijd bij bax kopen, alles heel netjes houden en 60 dagen uitproberen.
Ik kom er heel langzaam achter hoe goed deze apparatuur is. het zou volgens mij jammer zijn te snel te oordelen.
groet Wouter
Hallo Wouter,
ik las je review bij BAX, daar heb ik de Rytm vorige week gekocht.
Fijn dat jouw ervaringen goed zijn.
Ik weet dat de Rytm erg goed kan klinken en, belangrijker nog, analoog is.
Maar een doosje in deze prijsklasse moet toch heus onberispelijk qua betrouwbaaarheid zijn vind ik.
Ik twijfel daar aan (nog steeds).
Hey Flamish people !
Geen problem met Nederlands yet you might consider PM for not universal English conversations please ^^
It feels weird
Solly
I donāt think reaching out in your native tongue is an issue btw, but it does close the door on further comment ā¦
The LCD issue potentially arises if the device is not used for a long time and disappears when the device is used for a bit ā¦ if itās even there at all in an unopened schroedingerās box ā¦ if the issue is going to be anything other than that trivial one then youād know straight away ā¦ I find it slightly bewildering that you should be claiming the software is unfinished or the device is faulty or not user-friendly when you have no experience, passing off opinion as if it were fact is not helpful ā¦ ps, there is a setting within the Test Mode for the AR which will cycle the screen Black then White to purge this potential for the component to go off if unused ā¦ this LCD shape is used on Three/Four Elektron devices now ā¦ really no need to focus on this
With all due respect, whilst you should absolutely do what you feel is best for whatever reason and you donāt need to justify to anyone here, but, honestly, youāre reasoning is based on the very misguided interpretation of a few non issues (when you give it due perspective) ā¦ none of those you listed are in any way anything to be concerned about (unless you donāt leave the house for fear of being hit by a falling piano) ā¦ except perhaps one or two users have reported voice board issues after failing calibration on new OS installs, this has presumably only been the case because those units were made and tested before the new OS (with more machines to cater & factory test components for) was introduced
Iām trying to say this with kindness, the device may not be for you ā¦ but that is far more likely to be for legitimate subjective aspects and it is slightly bizarre to be caught up on these points ā¦ and trust me ā¦ I am without doubt far more fussy than 99.9% of users and I was just as troubled when I picked up my MS20mini, but that turned out to be the best single synth voice I ever owned, Iām glad my obsession with the VCA thumps didnāt sway me ā¦ I can honestly say I have never given the matter a second thought since (witness the obsession and revelation here)
I know how incredible the AR is for me as a package sonically, if it was half as well made and still sounded this good I could not care a bit, it is that big a deal to hear this thing in action, Iāve only loaded about a dozen samples to experiment with, not even tapped that side yet ā¦ it is a joy, but all Elektron devices need time to learn ā¦ AR probably the least, but itās still very deep and Iām getting new sounds from it all the time
Iām surprised you havenāt brought up the āfirm padsā issue as that has been doing the rounds for ever, but tbh, even forewarned I was not sure what the fuss was about when I got mine ā¦ the pads are small though (tricky for two hand rolls) and on the firm side for sure, never been an issue but the feel may not match your expectation if youāre used to other pad devices
Soā¦
ā¦ Iāll keep it boxed for one more night.
Tomorrow I have a day off from work and when my mood is like āIāll give it a tryā the AR will be released from itās darkness.
As mentioned before, all is ready to inject it with OS1:30D via C6.
A 126 page printed manual, YouTube, Elektronauts and a lot of luck and probably headache
Nein, Ich lebeā¦ @@ error@@
