Big agree. But at the same time you mentioned ā€˜or’ a few times. Rytm is no doubt flexible, but being locked into a limited workflow is also really nice. I’m super intrigued by this instrument.

I didn’t translate the Amazona article yet, but I’m wondering if the sample slots are one shots, or if there will be any layering (velocity, round robin, etc) available on each slot?

Am I understanding this thing right: it’s a mono synth designed to make percussion sequences?

If that’s the case I’m in love. I’ve been using a Circuit Mono Station like this and it sounds f-ing crazy hearing the synth snap between p-locks. Very impressed by their boldness

Edit: I’m totally wrong

I need a video of it, I really like their instruments, they often sound more raw and basic, but that’s the charm.

Seems like you get sound-locks, so make a bunch of sound variations and then sequnece them?

This could be nice but…

No need to be like that.

:wink:

So if I’m reading correctly, you get 16 samples per project; with 6 sequencer ā€˜lanes’. So presumably those 16 samples can be split across 6 tracks.

Now what I’m really curious about is if the analog voice itself can be sequenced / triggered. I’d hate to have that spare analog voice available if it couldn’t be utilized by one of the 6 sequencer tracks.

Fantastic idea, there is no other device like this, I already have a DRM1 but this could be a cool portable solution

interesting concept, wouldn’t mind just having the synth part. Wonder if it has audio in as well

This looks pretty good but it reads to me like the little toe on the tempest……

100% to this… I am not into the seq/sampler aspect, though I find it interesting… it’s not for me. The synth side it interesting if it was packaged in way that I could send midi and CC to it.

Very excited about this one.

I just was reading a comment at the Amazona-article, so iam just passing the information i found for people who are interested:

6 Outs of the sample voices
1 Out of the analog voice
2 Ins
1 Sum-Out
An SD-Cardslot
MIDI-I/O
USB
Main and Phones Out

Further more: ā€œThe Vermona employee, who was already hoarse on the first day, also made it clear that the analogue sound generation will be modular and therefore interchangeable.
But the best thing was the sound: adipose! And it is more compact than the pictures suggest.ā€

This is sounding nicer than the HEXDRUM to my ears…

Yeah, and AR analogue sounds are bland imo, also takes 10 years to dial in a sound :slight_smile:

Love how it looks - need more demos but really dig the old school minimal vibe of it

Between my ST, DNII, EssenceFM and OT I feel more than set for drums, but damn this thing is cool

I hope the sample engine is powerful, capable of processing the sample in real-time with funky/glitch stuff

Sounds very good but depends on sample manipulation possibilities and analog filters/drive for the sample voices would be nice
