Rytm was actually on the chopping block for me before I caught wind of the DT2.
I recently spent a few months away from it while traveling and when I came back, it felt very foreign to me. This is an extremely subjective experience, obviously.
But the gainstaging and overall handling just took me a while to re-gel with it. Actually I havenāt re-gelled yet.
I went through the same separation with Syntakt and just started flying right away on it. Part of that was the limited engines being predictable once you know them, but honestly for me a lot of it was in the overall tonality and dynamics more than anything.
I should just go back to ST, but I donāt mind playing with a new shiny thing until the ST maybe gets some of these QOL updates or some kind of MD successor comes out with the new elektron pathway set by DT2.
