So coming from Digitakt and Digitone, where the pattern and kit is all saved as one thing, I’m going a bit loopy over here, after returning to my Rytm, after some time away, and realising all the patterns are messed up and not how I thought I’d saved them, due to the seperation of pattern and kit.
Can someone give me a step by step guide on how to move from one pattern to another and how to save and make a kit save with each pattern.
As in
Step 1 - select pattern
Step 2 - save kit.
Step 3…
Step 4 etc.
I think I’m doing things in the wrong order to get the kit to save with the pattern.
work on the idea, it can be one pattern, two or more, tweak the kit thinking about the sounds and the performance macros/scenes, levels, compressor ets, the patterns are only the trigs.
once you done with the idea, save kit [FUNC+TRK], open new pattern and load new kit, [FUNC+PLAY] and load kit from a new slot, KIT002, pattern whatever.
I found this to be confusing as well initially, as I much prefer the DT/DN way of doing things… my way around it is to just save a new kit PER PATTERN. Even if I have multiple patterns using the same kit sounds, I tend to tweak them somewhat for each pattern variation. Saving them this way allows me to not worry about small kit changes affecting any other pattern.
When doing a variation of a pattern, I copy the whole thing to the next slot, then immediately save the new pattern’s kit. I also name them the same as the pattern, and multiples/variations I’ll just add a “02”, “03” etc to the end (patterns as well) so everything is clear and stays as I left it.
TLDR: Everytime you make a new a pattern, save it’s kit in a new slot.
Edit: @alechko already pretty much said the same thing, haha.
That ! And feel free to name it the name of the pattern to keep it simple.
Don’t be afraid of doing it, you have as many kit as you want in the end 128 pattern, 128 kit.
And if you want to share a kit between pattern, name it accordingly like A01-A04
And feel free to also save your project with a different name each time you have worked for more than few days, so you will have backup ! 128 project !
That’s a good idea. I was already naming my kits by the Pattern (and also saving them in the slot that matches the numerical order of the pattern)… but it hadn’t occured to me to make the names longer. Ta!
will sort that for ya
