Thanks everyone.
Iā€™ve been working two really high paying contracts in New Zealand government, the latest of which was terminated earlier this week.
Creativity has been rampant!

Your work is fantastic, Kotare. Definitely the most inspiring stuff Iā€™ve heard coming from the Rytm (not to slight anyone else).

Seriously great stuff. You got a Soundcloud? Offer up any insights into how you go about processing your samples/AR?

Iā€™m curious about his processing too.
Please KOTARE give us some hints

(receiving mine next week)

Hi all.

Nothing too dramatic to be honest. Sometimes I use OB which is surprisingly clean and pleasing sounding to me.

Sometimes I use a Sebatron VMP-4000e tube preamp with Mullard tubes.

I clock everything with an RME pre which is also a great audio interface. I bought a powerful new laptop in Cambodia which I paid for by selling a mint 808 which I found there for $42.

I have a nice Toa console that I push things into to use the shelving filters on tonally rich sounds.

I used to use an old Akai MG console and found that this suited the Rytm a lot but I gave it to my cousin.

I use some MSI comps and Fab filter EQs and filters to clean up stems.

Everything else is a combination of processing in the Rytm and samples. The samples I use are all self created and involve processing in all kinds of boutique samplers I used to own before I sold pretty much everything to go live in Cambodia.

My set up is very, very small now - the smallest in 5 years. Rytm, ESQ-1, the above mentioned equipment, and an Analog Keys which Iā€™d like to swap out soon for something phatter sounding and more immediate.

Very nice new track.

I remember awhile back you speaking on Pres/Samplers/and FX boxes offering sonic characteristics. It made me pick up a cheap ASR10 being sold. I love it. Though not AS gritty as an ESQ-1, it does take the shine off things. Plus the FX and traswave parametersā€¦good lord.

Ever gotten into or considered getting into 500 series?

The ASR was the last sampler I sold, just last month. Actually thatā€™s a lie - I have a Korg DSS-1 left and an Emax in Cambodia, and my Polaris is over there tooā€¦

When Iā€™m ready to get new things the ASR and the S612 are the two Iā€™ll grab again, and another H3000.

Iā€™m very interested in the 500 series. The next thing will be either nice EQs or some hefty comps or another Great River pre.

The ASR is bad ass - I used mine as an FX buss and sampler. So bad.

The thing that really got me interested in the 500 series was the xpressor 500. Seems like a helluva deal.

I look forward to whatever you put out next. Happy creating!

You can get the Rytm to come to life in a totally different way when you use the Analog Keysā€™ modulations and LFOs though

You are killing it with these short tracks. Gold Fields 3 is great!

Maybe a dumb question, but by this are you routing audio from the Rytm into the Keys, or some other way of modulation into the Rytm?

Thank you :slight_smile:

Most of these are RYTM via OB with generous use of the onboard COMP and DIST. I use a lot of trigless trigs and slides and tune up sounds in the box before DAW.

I really donā€™t enjoy feeding audio into the RYTM. If thereā€™s keys in a track itā€™s usually been separately tracked :slight_smile:
