Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting an OT to use it together with my Rytm, but I got some questions concerning the workflow of both units combined. It would be great if you could answer my questions.
The OT should expand the functions of my Rytm. I want to use my Rytm mainly for drums, and short samples, whereas the OT plays longer samples, for examples melodies, vouce samples, loops etc or samples some parts of the Rytm to save its voices. Also, I was wondering if the OT could apply effects on some parts of the AR by connecting the individual outputs of the AR to the Inputs of the OT.
Now, my main concern is that both units do not feel as one. I am a bit “touchy/sensitive” when it comes to combining some gear with other. For example, I never used the sequencing capabilites of my MPC 1000, because it did not work with my synths properly. Program changes were not transmitted or sometimes too late and automation did not work well, either. The only setup which works for me is the combination of mutliple electribes. This setup really feels like one big device, since everything (bpm, pattern changes) is in sync.
So finally my questions is, whether the OT and the AR can be set up in a way that feels like my electribe setup. I turn them (OT and AR) on, work on a pattern, where some elements are played on the AR, others on the OT, and there are no issues. It would be great if the OT could act as a mixer as well.
I hope that I described my problem correctly, so that you understand me. Thanks in advance for reading my post.
