Hello all,

my first post one this forum maybe it’s a silly one (sorry)
(some big kiss to all Eu users i used to know , finally i’m back )

So there’s 12 sequencer drum tracks, 12 pads, each pad with a different voice name…
but only 8 voices ?
So got some questions …
Does the sequencer record seq from the different voices ?
Does some pads call the same voice but with different settings ?

Hey HDD, so There are 12 pads each with a track I think!!!?? If you look at the pads there are little lines showing which tracks share a voice.
CH-OH, CY-CB, MT-HT, RS-CP.
Now, obviously there is voice stealing between those tracks. If anyone has better info please chime in, can’t wait for that manual.

Hey VF!
looks clear now; forgot about these lines, thanks

those tracks share voices but with different kit settings, and so got automatic mute

I think it is possible for Elektron to make the Rytm (MK1/MK2) with 8 analog voices and 4 Sample voices or 12 Sample voices etc. at the same time without voice stealing? I mean it is clear that the analog engine has only 8 voices, but the samples must be playable on the 12 Tracks at the same time?

Habbit1980:

Nope - everything goes through a filter and there are 8 of those only - well there’s only 8 voices arriving at the compressor , so whichever way you look at it it is what it is and that’s that I’m afraid - zero prospect of any modifications to the architecture imlo

Oh this is a pity.
I am new with the Rytm MK2 and thougt that could be possible, but I did not find an other thread with this topic.
