The pads are very stiff and I have had annoying issues in the past too, and I don’t like the disco light show neither. And then the tiny screen makes my head hurt.
I still keep it, so that’s how much I really like the sound.
There’s a contrast dimmer inside the machine. Are you comfortable opening it and adjusting it? It might help!
Ooh… am I comfortable doing it? No.
Will I do it anyway? Probably!
I binned mine
the new 1.70 update provides a light dimming setting on the Rytm now! It works great to avoid blinding lights.
is there a fix for the pads to become more responsive?
Just in case:
Not that I know, would like that too.
I now just play in stuff using the triggers instead.
back when i had only a sp404og i had the same problem, and there were some fixes for the pads. they were also bad at response just as the rytm’s. one of the fixes was a kind of graphite paint and another was to put aluminum tape under the pads on the conductive material
i dont know if this could fix the issue
Have you fitted the sheet? I’ve got one on the way after finally raising a ticket. Nor sure if it fully cures the issue or not?
Edit. Sorry I didn’t read your post properly. I’ve got the adjacent pad triggering issue
Now thats something i didn’t know and might just make me buy one.
Thank you!
got rid and not looking back
I actually found it by accident after looking under the settings and projects folder. Nice touch and made me happy.
why? I love my Rytm especially now.
loads of features I didn’t use, so a bit of guilt around why I had it if I was only using a few tom sounds - if it was my only piece of gear then hell yeah but as an under utilised piece of gear it did’t find a place in my setup
If not having a dedicated drum machine would you choose it?
@mkdsl and all AR unfortunate users, there is something I’m not sure to undestand.
Are those pads behaving wrongly only in Mute mode?.. Or in any mode?
Thanks!
I have just bought new pad sensor ( sensor film) from Elektron, and it’s like having a new machine, mine flip pad mute’s to and was impossible to use as finger drums, but now, wow
Ahhh sorry .
Don’t worry, missed it anyway
