Rytm is the one machine that gives you back so much, when you keep learning and exploring it. I also had hard times with the Rytm and often considered selling it, but am very glad I never did.

I do not even use drum saMples any more - just noise, frequencies and samples from modular

Is there anything else even close for âanalog grooveboxâ?

I, too, traded my DT for the ARmk1 and am absolutely in love. Over the moon. Waited way too long to get one of these. My favorite Elektron box by far. I also like the mk1 form factor more than the mk2, smaller pads or not.
Long live the AR!!!

Yeah same, rarely use the sampler on the Rytm Mk2

I only use internal sounds too.
But, if i should have a mkii, that would be for itâs sampling abilities (and few UI dĂ©tails).
i would sample the rytm itself and try to take avantage of layering the internal sound with itâs own sampled version. That would, i suppose, make the sound bigger and assume few more tricks.
But itâs not a necessity, since i play the rytm live, and really like/love itâs original sound. Big, hot/muddy, and so adapted/capable to produce the techno i appreciate.

The ARmkII drew me back to Elektron. I need a compact beat central groovebox with deep sound design and sequencing, in top quality hardware. For me, only the Tempest and the AR were contenders, and after years of switching between the two, the AR has won for good.
What I was missing still has been filled by a small acid box and the OT last month and it finally feels complete now.

Gonna boot up the Rytm Mk2 today, nice Sunday mess about, might even do a video.
Been running it through a fx eq curve while working with it recently, been quite an interesting experience.

What do you mean? Like applying some EQ to it to change the tone of it or?

Yeah exactly that.
I have a curve setup on my Motu that Iâm running it through last few days. Itâs been interesting to hear how my approach to using it has subtlety changed or how i feel it sounds like as a machine has changed. The sound of it, being different, has changed how it feels and is being used. Instead of using it as a standalone box and then applying eq after in a mix or whatever.

Interesting. Might try that some time.

Awesome. Let me know if much changes for you.

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?
If you double your tempo, set your individual track time scales at 1/2x and then set the master scale to 2x, you can play with the master length and get some fun stuttering going with the lower values. (Youâll be stuck in Page mode, however, so on the MKI, no fills.)

rytm mk1 is my fav
the best groovebox around, and the sound is just what you would expect from an modern analog. samples sound dope too. all its quirks just make it more loveable

have you tried adding fast retrigs as well? I think you can resample it and use as single cycle waves, can be really cool
Rytm = my favorite Tool of all

The Analog Rytm MKI is my favorite instrument of all time. Itâs perfect in terms of the look, the sound and the playability.

It really is absolutely fantastic, isnât it? Itâs something I love about the Tempest, was the first drum machine I dug into which had the direct jump and couldnât believe how much fun it was. Definitely miss this in the Digi boxes.
