That RYTM 1.70 Sound

Elektron Gear Analog Rytm
#47

Rytm Jam a9/Dec23

I’ve been using the BT to try and get a decent kick and free up the synth possibilities on the lower 4 slots, and try a bit more creativity rather than using samples (not that sampling isn’t creative) and beefing up a 909 feel for some House/Techno tracks. I’ve been soaking up @pokk’s videos too and generally getting my mind in order for a load of groundwork.

Anyway, this is a recording of something I cobbled together earlier. I could probably use more fills, p-locks, performance buttons etc, but mute button edits on a desk or machine are just fine to help with thoughts for now…

Niiice! Some cool resonances later in the track.

The synth possibilities has definitely opened up with the update. I found even before trying to get good synth sounds out of the Rytm pushed me to balance things differently in the machine to get it to come alive more. Main distortion and high distortion on the delay, even though it doesn’t sound distorted, along with gain staging, really transforms the Rytm.

Keep em coming. Great hearing this kinda electronic music on the same box Inspiring!

I’ve been listening to all the Tracks in this thread and I can say that everything is good and sounds really really good in my headphones. Elektron has done a tremendous and marvelous fine tuning job on the Rytm, it really sounds better and is more easy to work with. Bravo Elektron!

This is another contribution. Rytm only. Enjoy!

Did the first one.

I recorded the sum - and also the dry base drum via overbridge.

  • Was fun.
  • BD CLASSIC machine only
  • Heavy use of:
    • filter (LP, HP, BP, peak; +/- env modulated)
    • resonance
    • LFO
    • analog distortion
    • delay
    • reverb

This is what I call a weekend well-spent. An admirable display of sonic exploration. Thank you. :slight_smile:

Which one? Found several tracks on YT. Are they all from the same EP?

Oh, I’m still in love with Volume One | Commodo

There’s obviously a lot going on there but I’d love to see how close I can get with just 1.70 and clever design/sampling/EQ/layers.

That’s a challenge :flushed::sweat_smile::+1:
Had similarly difficult things on my list for when I will have fulfilled my evolutionary programming/retired: deconstruction and reconstruction of:

  • Anne Clark | Sleeper in Metropolis
  • New Order | Blue Monday
  • Monkey Island ST | Scumm Bar (live on piano)
  • Kim Wilde | Cambodia
  • 2 Live Crew | Me So Horny
  • Run DMC | My Adidas
  • The Sisters of Mercy | Detonation Boulevard
  • and some

I grew up on Miami booty bass and electro so that many of those sound fun as well!

And also goth, so for Sisters of Mercy let me know if you find a good DR-55 sample set :stuck_out_tongue:

I think I have one sample set from my then own DR-55 sampled dry into MPC2000 in the late 90s. (Gave the DR-55 away as birthday present.)

Any recommendations (software) to auto slice 1 hour stereo basedrums?

At that length I assume it will drift if set to fixed grid.

Result should be hundreds consecutively named wav files. :flushed:
