Nice. Look forward to hearing the results! Think this idea would go down well on the A4.

Cool. I was thinking about throwing some money in on those track challenges I used to make.

I’m glad to see communal activity like this on this forum.

Tempting, but I’m not a RYTMner, when it aligns with my Elektron fanboyism- I might sweeten the pot

I like it that these sounds are available on every track. Once in the sound pool, you can sound-lock them anywhere. This way, you can have a complete hhat line on one track only, and maybe another one on another track to get further variations in one pattern.
And as I said above, it enables to free up the whole DVCO line :tongue:

Note : I’m on the road with poor headphones, I did my best but settings might need a little further tweaking.

I like it! but how to judge? do we have to upload the sounds on soundcloud for the rest to listen? or is the only way to reproduce the settings in our rytms and listen to the sounds?

#16

I can’t record anything right now, I’m on a ride with bikes, me and my family…
But I believe reproducing the sounds is half of the game ! The exact sounds are less interesting than the area of experimentation they open through slight tweakings, I guess.
