RYTM Noise Floor

:bulb:This is what technical support told me: The Analog Rytm MKI/MKII has a bit more noise in its output signal than a digital device or a VST, and there are several reasons for this: If you set the master volume to max, the output of the Analog Rytm is really hot, so the noise seems more prominent than on many other devices when you turn up the volume. The Analog Rytm has eight separate analog voices that are mixed to a single output (unless you use the separate outputs, of course). It …

tl:dr
There’s a lot of analog amplification going on in the circuits. If you boost levels noise is inevitable. Actually it makes the AR a beast full of character when making use of it creatively. If you want noise-free, go digital.
