I love my rytm as a sample playback device really if it could do layering, chords and real time loop pitching it would be a complete solution on its own. I use mine extensively for creating long and interesting atmospheres with my mpc 1000 as mychord playback and layering device.

It does seem like a complete track instrument, like the Tempest or the Electribe. Very appealing.

You can use Midi routing tools like a MidiPal to play chords via an external keyboard.

The main limitation you’ll encounter is 127 samples per project.
I wish it were per kit, but sadly no.
And managing samples takes some time.
I find it best to sort them all on the computer, for one project at a time.

AR is very good as a sample player (though the sample management, lack of full project backup, etc. suck). I made this EP w/ the AR alone using it primarily as a sample manipulator:

Like Kotare said, I was trying to treat it like an SP-1200

I’m not familiar with the OT enough to say for certain.
But, perhaps with the Strom iPad app that is possible?

Anyone else want to chime in?

I’ve not got this far into the RYTm yet - is it possible to use sample chains in the same way as the Octatrack?[/quote]

@jamrod,
I’m very impressed with your work. I’ve listened to Grandma Tapes several times since it was released, and now I’m going to enjoy this new EP you’ve made.
Come to think of it, it’s about bloody time I pay for this guilty pleasure, too.

Thanks Andreas! Got more projects planned in a similar vein. Good luck with the AR, interested to hear what you do w/ it

So this all ended with me going ahead and buying a Rytm a couple of weeks ago, and this was the fallout, my first track with it:

Feedback is much appreciated, if you’re so inclined.

All the best, have a good evening.

Andreasroman,

Really great stuff there!

On a side note - you stereo ran those minifooger pedals? Love the sound of that…i have almost all the moogerfoogers but haven’t been able to that great old school vibe. Is it just a combination of drive and the lowpass filter on the drive pedal? Do you have any moogerfoogers (maybe i could work more with my mf 101…)

Thanks!

Thanks for listening, I’m very happy you like it.
And yep, so what I did was I bought an extra Minifooger Drive and put the left and right signal paths through one of them each. So from the Rytm into two Minifooger Drives and then into a small Tascam portable recorder.
I did quite a bit of tweaking with all the parameters to get the sound to where I wanted it, the Lowpass filter being one of them. The Gain dial had a bit to do with it, since I wanted juuust a small amount of natural distortion, and then the tone to make it deeper and a bit muffled. It was a bit tricky, not helping that my daughter kept playing with the dials when I was looking the other way :slight_smile:
