This is the obvious use for the inputs. Perhaps not as fancy as the Analog Four with it’s “input as oscillator”-option but it’s nevertheless a really good way to glue the AR sound with some other gear.

I get the Bass-Line comp recommendation. But without External Midi Sequencing, it seems like a half-baked idea. It just seems strange that that’s the best use for a pair of inputs. Especially when almost all “sample-based” hardware units with Audio-In jacks use that in some way or another to sample.
@Dr Strangeknob, can you share any more info or source on that claim? That would be wicked good news!!!
At the very least, I hope we can use the Audio In signal with the effects at some point. Again, so strange since you can do so in their other machines.
I’m gonna play with my new machine for a few days and gather any feedback, including this and send it their way. I assume that would be the best way to voice support for some “Audio In” love.
Ps.
after I saw “tooth pick holder,” I was surprised no one said “you could put your weed in there…” haha
The overbridge presentation at my work The wizards at elektron made mention of it. It might be something you have to do with overbridge. I can’t wait to see what they do. from all the stuff they did talk about there is a lot of stuff that they kept close to the chest. We live in a fantastic time my friends.

Hmmm… . … so I broke down and gave Overbridge a go hoping that I could use the inputs as. . . inputs but it doesn’t look like it does that. Was kinda bummed as I brought the RYTM home to install some “updates” and add some samples and was gonna kick it on my couch and maybe record some stuff.
Oh well.
I don’t know what’s happening at Elektron HQ these days but thinking about how users will actually use the gear seems to be very low on their priority list.
Ah man, I love a kick ass bassline!

I had another idea for the Audio Ins. You could output a single drum sound from the individual input, then process it with external gear, then route it back into the RYTM through the Audio Ins.
It’s small, but it would let you really go crazy when shaping your kick sound.
Cheers!

not using overbridge vst here but curious if the audio input can be recorded into audacity line in(rytm) all going via the usb, unable to test as all i have is a rytm atm.
No, it cannot.
just tried it from using my phone , it does , stupid quiet though, trying to figure out my mixing desk at moment to gain it , oh wheres my leads , anyways so you can get it into the pc just not overbridge
This + fx pedals =

Use it as a master compressor for your live rig - it’s actually a quite cool compressor capable of quite a bit of punch

Yupp, I am guessing the audio input is just for giving extra mileage to the stereo analog comp in uses outside of the AR’s internal sound processing. And a p-lockable one at that!

The mduw sounds nice through it.

Very useful as a preamp input for playing or recording to a DAW from an analog source and is good enough quality.
Intrigued as to how on earth you can be usb streaming from the RYTM without using the OB plugin, as that is all that handles the audio streaming.
The levels are good for the hot signal that comes out of eurorack.
have a go ya self , easy to set up.
been quite bored of ableton lately and fancied something quick to open up and record in, works 
audio input can be recorded aswell (very very quiet though) i wonder if one day they will open up a channel in overbridge for it , should be possible huh
Compressor parameters are P-lockable?!

Yes, of course. All the fx mode parameters are plockable and you can use the LFO too, just like with any track

Is this still the case or has a new update opened up the audio in through reverb etc possibilities?
