Hi community.
I am used to produce bass lines with the rytm MK1 in our studio.
I bought a rytm MK2 not long ago and I got real trouble producing a reliably looping BT or XT pattern, especially if I use it as a bass line.
Both BT and XT classic engines (or the OSC of course) seem to be very unstable - beyond their “analogue nature” (see MK1 vs MK2 below).
The main and most obvious trouble is some notes getting “ducked” randomly. (They do not seem to be played, since they are lower in volume and darker in timbre.)

Here is a 1:1 comparison MK1 vs MK2
You can see that the MK1 does not produce this random/occasional ducking.

The BT in this examples is simple:
- cleared Project, Kit and Sound
- used BT classic standard/initial settings
- BT OSC tuned different
- triggered by different patterns (faster notes cause trouble more often)
If you want to test around here is a kit and a pattern I sent to support also:
BT & XT TEST - PATTERN & KIT .syx (17.7 KB)
BT 2nd call - PATTERN & KIT.syx (17.7 KB)
Please report back how your MK2 sounds. Is it having the same issue? Or is it more stable, just as the MK1?
