Hello!
introducing: Stereo Drive.
it’s an upgrade for SDS Drop in form of an In-App purchase.
Stereo samples in the Rytm sound f*** amazing, but it’s tricky to work with them. Basically what you do is transfer 2 mono files, and then use 2 voices/tracks on the Rytm for each channel. And you have to apply all tweaks for a sound, and all changes to a track to the other sound/track. This gets old quick!
So SDS Drop aims to make this easier.
If you drag a stereo file to a pad, the app splits it up, sends both channels as individual files, loads them to the project, and keeps track of the 2 files and their stereo relationship in an internal database.
You can then drag from one pad to another to copy a sound and/or track to another pad. SDS Drop makes sure that the correct sample is used in both sounds, takes care of panning, p-locks and even sound locks so that stereo-based sounds are played back correctly in your pattern.
If you’ve never messed with stereo files in the Rytm… it sounds very good! here’s a quick demo of mangling a stereo loop for your enjoyment:
used STROM to tweak both mono tracks at the same time… helpful
it’s a single pattern, no FX, just looping this file, which was also sampled from Rytm:
