Machines in Pads 1-4

reading over the rytm manual to get a feel for the device. since all 4 of the bottom pads are on the same circuit that means I can have say 4 BDs or 2 BDs & 2 SDs, or any combination of any of the machines available to those 4 pads? and do they choke each other?

yes any track can have any of its available machines whenever it likes. tracks 3-4 share a voice so they choke each other (as do track 7-8, 9-10, 11-12

so I can have 2 kicks on 1 + 2 not choking each other, and SD and CP on 3 +4 but choking

track 3&4’s shared voice is actually more capable than the voices on 1 and 2 so it doesn’t translate that a rimshot can load on one and two, but anything from one or two can play on three/four

3 and 4 share a single voice, so there will be choking

awesome. and samples/external devices can replace any track?

From the manual :

8 individual track Sounds can be voiced simultaneously with the eight physical voices of the Analog Rytm MKII. The BD, SD, BT, and LT are independent tracks with their separate voices. Tracks RS-CP, MT-HT, CH-OH and CY-CB, each pair is shown with a coupling on the front panel of the Analog Rytm MKII, share a voice. If you play or trigger both tracks of a coupled pair, the right-hand track has a higher priority. Track CP mutes track RS, HT mutes MT, OH mutes CH and CB mutes CY. With sequencer recording deactivated, drum tracks may also be played using [TRIG] keys 1-12.

if a sample is loaded into a sound with no machine, or an impulse machine or noise machine, that sound can load anywhere

if a sample is loaded into a rimshot machine, it can only load on 3/4 - there are constraints based on which analog circuit the voice is based on - but if you use one of the three voice types above and forego the analog synthesis then the sounds are more transferable

it just takes a bit of forward thinking
