the question is - will it love him back?
op is a whining child. Real musicians have raved about this thing not to mention its one of the hottest pieces of gear right now. Go play with your DAW baby 
I totally agree!
As an analog drum machine, itās definitely half baked. A third of the drum engines are very good, a third average, and a third very poor.
The sampling engine is pretty vanilla in functionality, and C6 is an embarrassingly obsolete technology for importing samples.
Yet, somehow this half baked drum machine gets played everyday in my studio and ends up sounding fucking goodā¦
ā¦because of the things you left out, which are gold for me.
Running samples through analog filters, playing samples using plock and slides, the DIST and OD channels, layering analog engines underneath samples (the opposite of what was intended), and the COMP.
Sure, Iād take 6 voices with two filters each, multiple LFOs per track, and time stretching - this would gave cemented it as an absolute classic for me as a sample playback machine which also does drum synthesis - but Iām looking forward to routing audio into filters and DIST via USB, and Total Recall.
Give me the ability to fine tune sample starting points and Iāll be content. I canāt believe Iām asking for something so lame.
That also would be good. Hard to believe that it hasnāt yet been implemented.
How about sample offset from the analog part?
So one of the parts can be used as the transient and the other for the bodyā¦ Or swing values less than 50%, to have that early swing typical of samba rhythms?
There is always room for improvement 
2nd digital filter or a sample specific digital filter, and swung note repeat rolls would also be ace, but you knowā¦
Ive always thought that would be dope for layering snares and claps. that little bit of space between the samples is what makes layering so powerful.
You cant buy love.
Is OP a master of satire orā¦?

swing values of less than 50, ie. known as negative shuffle in certain drumboxes? you talking about switching the polarity of the swing trings? thatās easy - just select your track, go to swing adj menu and press all the 16 seq step buttons once.
Samples thru analog filters sound amazing. Rytm is flawed, like most gear but it shines thru those flaws most of the time. Synthesis is patchy, but can sound great. Room for improvement. My main worries with it have been syncing and sequencer reliability woes. Overbridge clock sync and midi note timing is not tight enough yet. I use Silent Way for clock, which can do negative shuffle globallyā¦ Last update helped with sequencer errors. Drag n drop samples would help.
sequencer errors?
iāve never had 1 ::knocks on wood::
do tell
There were problems with patterns looping again instead of changing, or going a beat out of time when changing pattern. Ive had payterns changing momentarily then looping again then finally change . These problems dont happen much with new os

Why couldnāt you just bake that offset in your sample before loading the sample?

I guess my rant got this place going. I was frustrated because it just seems a bit half done especially for the price. I never said it didnāt sound good. Just half done! When you feel like creating a new hat and all you see are 3 controls (two of which are tune and decay) your basically going to have one type of hat sound and all the coloration is going to come from samples. The sample portion of RYTM is less interesting than my Korg Volca. AND, itās actually the idea of samples infused into analog circuitry thatās the most interesting aspect of this instrument and itās a big part of their sales pitch. By reading the above Iām not the only one who feels like some major things are missing.
FINE TUNE ON BASS DRUMS. This is crazy to me. Why thereās no fine tune on the base drums yet there is on the snares just makes no sense. Am I just missing a hidden feature here? I missed the audition function on the samples.
Iāll stop complaining!

hmm, letās take a look at this a lil bit:
a volca sample has:
ā¢ Sample start point & samp end point (AR has both and sample reversing does not require a āhotkeyā)
ā¢ hi cut (AR has a multimode filter with envelope & velo mod + aftertouch mod)
ā¢ sample speed (AR has sample coarse and fine pitch with velo/at mod)
ā¢ a pitch env with amt, attack and decay (AR has a multiwaveform LFO which when set to oneshot can do env duties)
ā¢ level and pan (AR has these as well as overdrive, all velo/at moddable)
ā¢ an amp attack/decay (AR has these plus hold for longer samps, or an ASD env if hold set to AUTO, env mod via velo/at)
ā¢ reverb, mutes (AR has both and can make songs via mute sequencing, and reverb is much, much more flexible and automatable via the sequencer)
Now then, what the volca sample really lacks is the ability to go beyond a 10 pattern / drumkit limit. You cannot change the samples via midi CCs on the volca. On the AR you can. volca FAIL. So youāre just stuck with 10 kits & 10 patterns, instead of 128 kits & 128 patterns on the AR.
Sorry but I do not agree with your assesment. You can even mimic the master isolators via the FX send āhackā 
fwiw I like my volca sample. But korg sure as hell made sure you cannot use the thing to its full potential by crippling the MIDI implementation (no doubt they were to scared that itād hurt their shiny elektribe sales if they did). Should I write a rant to korg about it?
