Have just completed an ambient album produced solely with Rytm MkII:
Rytm can do very deep ambient. Dual VCO really shines. Some of the other machines produce lovely tones that work in combination to create far more complex textures. The less flexible machines are perfect for sample playback duties/layering.
Short samples of choir, orchestra and bells were used (had to edit externally to ensure seamless loops before transfer).
Used separate outputs into mixer (low EQ cut mainly) and Lexicon MPX550 on FX send.
Rytm need’s more LFO’s, a low cut filter and better onboard sample editing wouldn’t go amiss either.
Edit: In fact I want an “Elektron Hybrid 4” – an A4 with additional DT based sample engine p/voice.
