Admittedly new to the Analog Rytm MK2 (received it yesterday evening), I am insanely fascinated by this device. It’s my first own piece on Elektron gear and i’m already in love with it
Anyways, I’m having great difficulties understanding how to “safely” store something I’ve worked on. Can anybody advice me in terms of best practice? All I’d like to do is:
create a project (that will have some songs inside)
create a song1 inside this project
edit the song1’s kit, patterns, sounds etc
save everything and start a new song2 from scratch, not touching or using or breaking anything i’ve created for song1
you have to make sure to understand the structure of the rytm. project, kit, sound, pattern and so on… read the manual about it and maybe watch the cuckoo video:
at the moment it is not clear, if you mean the term „song“ in elektron way or not
a song in elektron world is just a list of patterns that play sequential, with selectable mutes per pattern
an important thing to know is: a kit is not fixed to a pattern, it can be used by multiple patterns, there are 128 kits and patterns per project, so you could also make a different kit for every pattern.
ths kit consists of track sounds and settings and other things… you see it gets pretty complex, but it is also very flexible, once you wrap your head arond it…
for example sounds can be shared across projects…
kit and yes saves a kit
pattern and yes saves a parttern and so on, but it is all in the very good elektron manual and the epic video
so make a demo project any try everything out with unimportant material
make sure to save your peoject before you load/generate a new one ( it will always ask you, if u want to save, before loading the new one)
this! thanks so much for helping out! … “song” completely confused me – i got the concept of kits and sounds being shared, but my assumption was that every song has it’s own set of patterns… great.
so, as a quick primer for myself – is this correct:
a project shares all these “building-blocks” (patterns, kits, sounds, samples)?
… and basically just serves to arrange them on a timeline?
