Having read this entire forum (!), it seems both Rytm and Tempest are very powerful. Since buying one of the first Sidstations, Elektron always interested me. Not so far covered in this forum are the nature of the sequencer in these machines. Comparing them to the Roland MC-505, which is familiar to me, neither seems to have 96 ticks/quarter note MIDI resolution. Both seem to have some variation on a fixed note value, such as quaver, semiquaver or triplet variations (i.e. from 48 ticks down to 12 ticks). In “MC-505 speak”, you can’t nudge a beat back or forward by a single tick. If so, it’s a bit of a retrograde design, when more ancient drum boxes with less powerful processors do this. Have got my head round Parameter Locks, which seem similar to Korg and Roland’s motion sequencer idea, that puts multiple or single CC messages in a MIDI track, or the alternative of mapping multiple edited variations of the same sample to adjacent MIDI note #. Is this correct, please?

Those pads on the Rytm? Isn’t it possible to make some beats and check what the range/ dymanics are? That will give a definitive answer - say velocity from 30 to 88 - or whatever. Just a suggestion, to end an argument…

It will be great to take a look at this fantastic new gear and decide which to get, to add new things, not duplicating what existing gear does. Really enjoyed this forum and thanks
