This is simply not true::
Ot abc test [/quote]
I see nothing in this thread that dispells what I said. In fact it seems to support it. My language may have been a bit strong, it doesn’t squash the life out of samples as such but it does do something undesirable to them. Every other hardware sampler Ive had would give something benficial to a raw sample loaded in but the OT does the reverse and takes something away. Don’t get me wrong I love the OT but it did make me like elektron a little less. Also selling me a $2000 noise box in the guise of a drum machine (AR) that is really only worth a grand and almost handicapped in its features compared to the MD and doesnt do great drum sounds…makes me like Elektron even less.
Still a fan at this stage tho 
Elektron please make me a machinedrum 2. With greater sample space, higher bitrate, the inclusion of an analog machine or 2 with the buttons and colour scheme of the analog series and usb overbridge support. Omg Im getting too excited.[/quote]
hm, let’s do a quick feature comparison
1.
1 voice
2 osc,
1 24db low pass filter
1 lfo
1 amp env
1 filter env
1 destination of choice for lfo and modwheel. (2 with some menu diving)
no fx
no sequencer
no keys/pads
no sample support
2.
8 voice, 12 track
…some tracks have more than 1 osc, so lets say
10 osc
12 multimode filters
13 lfo’s
12 amp env
12 filter env
4 velocity and aftertouch modulation destinations per track, with some basic calculations,
96 velocity and aftertouch modulation destinations assignable per kit
delay
reverb
distortion
compressor
13 sequencer tracks (even the fx have their separate track)
12 pads with velocity, pressure and aftertouch
sample support
you can get 1. for a meager 850 bucks in form of a Moog Slim Phatty
the 2. is, as you may have guessed from the incomplete feature list Analog Rytm, for 1500$.
i think i have made an excellent decision purchasing the Rytm. Miss my Moog SF and Vermona mk3 which financed the purchase, but that is nowhere near the joy i can get out of this box.
thats my opinion.
