Theoreticaly yes, but as I have read on both project’s pages, they state that there is an decrease. It may not be significant but if ut can be evadey, why not?
You loose frequencies above 18kHz when you are about 15yo, so even 22,05kHz (fs/2, see nyquist) is way good enough for human ears. I wpuld go up and double f(s) to 88,2kHz for a better resolution in mixing, but stay away from the 48kHz as only DAT did use this and it never really sticked as a standard.
Correct me if I’m wrong though.
Absolutely. The degrade in quality is def. not significant, more of a set of mind thing. Aesotheric mostly.
More way important is proper gain staging and corect intput levels when you go in the DAW.
When you quote Nyquist then please do it correctly. With a sample rate of 22,05kHz only frequencies up to 11,025kHz can be reconstructed correctly. For 18kHz you will need a sample rate of >=36kHz.
I did, my fellow Elektronaut. F(s) of 44,1 equalsto audible 22,05. Sorry if that was unclear.
Edit says: now that I read it again, it surely isnunclear the way I wrote it.
hey guys, so my Rytm is finally here 
connected to Cuabse and audio is cool. Now trying to sync playback to cubase. Do you guys know how to do this? Can’t seem to find it anywhere on the net.
and btw - sorry for the newbie questions 
I would also consider DJS-1000 before committing to AR MK2
Yea, I have two SP-16. Those are great for transitioning from VST to Hardware. You can make beats at no time. Well sounding beats! I also have some Elektron boxes and most of the of time they just collect dust… Except of Digitakt of course.
me too, I bought an beat up old MPC 1000 and with JJOS (upgraded it) and it became the hub of my studio, so quick and easy to use, no mouse or screen to worry about, just the record button
I also recently got an AKAI Z4 sampler and a XV3080 now too, older kit on ebay offers more options to get away from the screen, use your ears and record live takes
tip - older kit = make sure its USB compatible and/or has a decent editor app
AR MK2…has arrived happy with my purchase. reading manual now and trying to figure out how to midi sync it with cubase.
if switching to hardware then perhaps the best idea is to not sync it to cubase or any computer … at all.
the Elektron midi clock is heaps better than any daw’s midi clock vibe imho.
anyway, irritating suggestion aside, congrats!
i would so love to play a Rytm, mkI or mkII.
You will see that you can prepare a lot of things in the elektron sequencer, but there is a performance layer on top of it that is really cool
for example
All this is not recordable in the elektron sequencer and invite you to play live.
All this is not recordable in the elektron sequencer but the box sends the associated midi messages so you could decide to record the midi messages on a dedicated track of your daw in order to save your performance.
Frankly I prefer to save my kits and basic patterns on the machine, and record directly the audio associated to my performance on my daw.
Concerning midi clock,
Best way to sync is to have a dedicated sync box (expensive). if not possible use overbridge. if not use the method below
You should always set your DAW as master and the Rytm as slave.
ALWAYS check the sync between your machine and your daw by ear before you hit record.
(metronome on your daw, metronome on the rytm >> check sync by ear).
Even Cubase 9.5 does not synch to midi-clock. It’s a shame, but that’s it. Cubase works with Timecode only … that’s why you didn’t find support on the net 
But Cubase can send MIDI Clock and sync external midi devices. You have to tell Cubase where to send midi clock. This is done in the MIDI Clock Destinations menu.
I want to incorporate both digital and hardware…mainly for arrangement, mixing and mastering in my daw. Im looking at the Rytm more as a groovebox.
can you show me an example of this so i can understand better please? Do you mean live for example Rytm writes automation on my DAW? Still confused on how to make the best out of my midi between Cubase and Rytm.
do you mean that Cubase only sends midi-clock and does not receive it?
Eugene yes both the SP-16 and DJS-1000 have a edge over the Analog Rhythm . For Elektron --i really really like Analog Keys —all up i think its a better package than other machines from the brand i have owned—the AK has some real mana —beautifal keyboard --its a players machine. All my other machines in the serious were sold OT MK2, A4 , Digitrak, AR
Yes. It‘s explained in the manual.
So i managed to sync my Rytm Mk2 with Cubase 9.5 - seems like it is fairly in time with the AR though when i loop it gets messy. Is there a work around this? would it make sense if i buy an external Midi Clock of some sort?
Definitely yes, if you need tight synchronization.
E-RM Midi- and Multiclock come to my mind. But I can’t say, whether those clocks send time code too. IMO the master clock should be an external device, because most computers are no real-time machines and midi or sync processes can be disturbed by other processes every now and then.
