Can You Buy And Load More "Analogue" Sounds into MKT2?

Elektron Gear Analog Rytm
1

Greetings friends.

On the Analogue RYTM MK2. Can I buy Analogue Sound packs or only sample sound packs?

The Analogue sounds seem better to me. The ones that are actually built into the machine.
Any idea where to get more quality sound packs like those?

Thanks

I’ll take the risk to not really answer your question… My own experience is

  • it’s incredibly satisfying to dial the sounds you have in your mind. It takes time to learn the machine, and both imagination and patience to discover new territories, but IMO the exploration alone is part of the pleasure. Go wild, try the weird, shoot the LFO on every target, and come back of the sound jungle with new techniques…
  • opposing sample and analogue is overlooking the treasure island. Sculpt the sample matter, make it dirt or shine with analogue polish, there are amazing textures to bring back from such exploration. Resample and feed the machine with its own output. Use FX to their limits.

In a handful of words: do your own sound pack!

Short answer: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.elektron.se/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Sound_Pack_Installation_Instructions_ENG.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj42PzT0MHzAhVaLTQIHd1PAC8QFnoECAcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3mRWQzILNYd7ntQbTV6sci

Or you can just sample and layer.

There are some analog engine only sound packs (Don’t remember which one exactly) so yes, you can load more but analog engine only sound packs are few.

Any idea what the main differences are Between say a “sound pack” snare drum vs a “sample pack” snare?

These sound packs use the analog engine only:

while this one uses also (but perhaps not only) samples:

the first two are just a sysex file while the last one contains wav files.

If you read the description of the pack and scroll all the way down, you’ll see if the pack contains samples and/or synth patches.

Similar to this:

Download includes:

  • 128 synth patches in 1 SysEx file
  • Install instructions

Please note, this Sound Pack contains no samples.

That would be a sound pack that only contains patches for the analog engines.

Dude, thanks! Something about them just sounds better. I had purchased a drum sample sound pack from the elektron sight but they just didnt have the same ooomph that the ones the machine came with have. ; ).

Recommend New Blood. Great sounds.

FWIW. this pack- mostly synthesis, was very eye opening for me - showing the power of layering in just a little bit of transient in the samples while having the body be synthesis driven.
