it would be nice if the steps generated with the Euclidian mode, would somehow show whether they’ve been printed to the sequence or not, either with different/dimmed color or whatever works, surely not a must but could help a bit

one workaround for this could be: copy the sound between two shared channels like RS + CP, and use Euclidean sequencer for both. this way you can “Euclideanly” sequence two different sounds with each other, and the pad to the right will always take priority

Global accent track please. 
Monitoring was deffo off. The main output should only have the effects (and compression, allowing for a New York comp’ feel) once all indi’ outs are assigned and used. I can use effects on the desk’s aux channels, but given the range and onboard ones on the RYTM it seems a shame to just not have them
Would love to see the Page Playback Loop feature evolve in the direction of allowing specification of how many times each page should loop. For example, to loop page 1 6x and then loop page 2 2x. I’m not totally sure yet how that could work on the UI, as I’m separated from my Rytm until January, but this would be a very nice and more performant alternative to song mode that would allow us to more flexibly build (and remix, on the fly, the order of) longer phrases out of pages and still edit pages that aren’t currently playing.
I know, btw, that there are ways to get longer (i.e. >4-bar) phrases through more arcane tricks like modulo-type trig conditions, pattern chaining, and running certain tracks at half speed and using microtiming. But for more quick and classical x0x style pattern manipulation across 8+ bars while still being able to edit bars that aren’t playing yet (like, for example, the Roland TR8S allows on its 8 variations), Page Loop + a per-page Loop Number parameter would be the nicest thing IMO.
Two ideas for the UI on this:
(a) based on multiple taps – [PAGE] + [TRIG1] => Page 1 plays 1x. Then, while still holding [PAGE]: tapping [TRIG1] a second time makes Page 1 play 2x; tapping [TRIG1] a third time makes Page 1 play 3x; tapping [TRIG2] once makes Page 2 play 1x.
(b) pLock-like workflow – [PAGE] + [TRIG1], then while still holding [PAGE]: tap [TRIG2], then hold down [TRIG1] and adjust an encoder that’s mapped on the Page Playback display to the per-page Loop Number parameter.
This could show on the Page Playback like “PLAYING PAGES” and then on the line below “1X3,2X1,3X2”. I can see that there’s definitely enough horizontal space on this second line of the display to print the max of 15 characters this would require if we’re allowed to loop each individual page up to 9 times. There may even be space for the max of 19 characters it would require if we could loop each individual page up to 99 times.
The pLock-type workflow would work better for reducing the value of an already selected Loop Number and less of a need to “start over from scratch” to change anything already decided on this parameter.

I know we just got a bunch of awesome new features and Rytm is feeling like a much more comprehensive groovebox now with the new additions!
One thing I’d find super useful is a way to specify interrupt/priority behaviour for choke groups.
Eg. sometimes if one track is playing a long note I’d like the grouped track to not interrupt it, similar to as if I was holding down the pad, especially useful when using different track lengths and the euclidean generator when you don’t know exactly where the hits will fall in relationship to the other track.
I’d imagine it could be a kit setting:
1-2 choke group priority: latest,1,2
3-4 choke group priority: latest,3,4
9-10 choke group priority: latest,9,10
11-12 choke group priority: latest,11,12
with Latest being the current and default behaviour but allowing specifying either of the tracks to have priority over the other.

So. I would still VERY much like to be able to set bar length. So, if working in 6/8, you could have four pages of 12 steps each for instance, so each page would correspond to one bar. This has been one of my main gripes with the elektron sequencer since the first MDUW.
With the new (fantastic!) page loop feature, this becomes even more important since that feature gets pretty useless if you happen to work in anything other than 16 steps/bar…
I’ve emailed it as request to Elektron. Suggest that anybody else mssing this does aswell…

I feel guilty to ask something so fast after amazing 1.70 update, but I would really love track layering like in DN or TR-6s (I think 8s as well), obviously for non-chocked tracks, like in a way you can trigger two tracks from one track instead of copy/pasting trigs between two tracks.
it would be real easy to do stereo samples by panning two tracks left/right and making small sample start difference instead of using reverb/delay or copying trigs over, especially if one wants to utilize the euclidean mode in real time, or just to layer two machine sounds together.

This would be a time saver. I do this manually now for stereo/layering.
same here, would love to have this on all boxes.
in Euclidian page the ability to hold a button (YES?) + encoder (A/B) that allows access to PL1 or PL2’s velocity level would be outstanding…

I want Ctrl + All too. Surely it’s possible to add? I’d also love to be able to use the knobs to control performance macros, similar to the A4/MD. Maybe by double tapping perf you can switch from live edit mode to performance edit mode. Last change I’d love to see is a second destination for the LFO and envelopes, maybe have them freely assignable to other tracks also, like on the MD.

Record Queueing for Sampler?
Maybe I’m missing something: So the upgrade now has the Sample Length feature, which is awesome in theory, but how do I start the recording on the downbeat? I have a melody that starts on beat 2, so I can’t use the FUNC+YES arm/threshold method because it will start recording on beat 2 as if it is beat 1.
What I want to do is:
- Queue the recording so it starts as soon as I press Play on the Rytm.
or… - If the Rytm is already playing, Queue the recording and it will start sampling when the pattern restarts.
Without that, the connection between the sample length and how it fits into the pattern is kind of missing.

been looking for this as well, best I came up with is putting real short impulse on trig 1 of the whole pattern and then crop a tiny adjustment or leave it and use amp attack to remove it.
would love to have the option to start recording on transport rather threshold!

You can actually patch a MIDI cable from the AR’s output back into its own input. 
Then match the MIDI channel on any tracks you want to trigger to the same MIDI channel as the track doing the triggering. Make sure receive clock and receive transport are off.
ah, the old midi loopback trick, while it’s a great one for when using rytm in standalone it’s a tricky one when using it with other synth.
did you manage to achieve this? whenever I’ve tried I only could get a loop back to the same channel, iirc you can either send to auto channel or same channel and could not get notes to trigger a specific channel in loopback mode, because notes on trig page goes C1-C5 and the tracks respond to C0-B0, so they’re out of range…
either way, even if you do manage to get it to work with midi loopback it’s only good for standalone mode, having internal track layering is not quite the same, and if it’s implemented as in DN then you can layer more then one track which you can’t do with midi loopback afaik.
plus, external routing is not saved with the project, so if you have a pattern where you’re using external routing you need to remember that next time you open it…
True it’s very much a hack and having it implemented internally would be stellar. It did work though! I tested it before posting.
how did you get it to send to a different channel? for example from BD to SD? I had no success trying it…
