Analog Rytm MKII Sampling Polyrhythmic (polymeter) Q-Performance Stuff

- Hellooo,
Here's a (far too long) video of sampling with the new Analog Rytm MKII. Also some what I was thinking polyrhyhtmic sequencing, but as commenter Mattias (who is also an analog engineer at Elektron) pointed out is polymeter rhythms, and an attempt at explaining how to set up the performances.

I'll pick up the polyrhythm again later. Being a fan of both folk, and contemporary Jazz, I'm no stranger to true polyrhythmic. Although it takes much more effort. But I'm up for it!

Best tutorial videos on music on RUclips. The way you explain and edit the zooms in is wonderful - thanks so much.
Thank you so much! I feel that in this particular video I was not at my best. But I'm happy to hear that people still find it useful! ❤️
Nah, you've got it down to a fine art - this one could have been twice as long and I'd probably still have been really interested. Cheers!
You Sir, are an very adorable person. Love your patience with all things done! I´m the other way around.
Thank you Carsten!
still loving your tutorials cuckoo,i can tap right in to your positive attitude and approachable manner, keep up the good work
Thanks mate!
Cuckoo, you are a legend. Very well presented and understandable demo. Just opened up a whole new world for me!! Cheers!!
Best part was that I (re-)learned that you could copy paste sample names!
thanks to you I have the following Mantra with the rytm "New pattern, new kit" I think this has helped me avoid the issues other people describe... has been most helpful..
Great to hear that, mate! It can really be puzzling before you get to understand it. And even when you understand it, it's easy to forget and make a mistake. So a mantra like that is great :)
@@truecuckoo I have been on my own journey and coming back to your videos has given me the details that and helped me to reflect on what I have learned.. for example understanding the slight nuance between recording samples, where they sit inside, I have also started the process of creating "sounds" from each of my samples as I would like to be able to use them in different kits.. I truly love this piece of kit.. I am so enthusiastic it.. It was cool to see how you did a multi chord sample and then were still able to come back in and out.. so your buffer is maintained .. I think with practice use of the sampler can be used as a part of a live performance.. I am hoping to "get into" this at some stage.. I am letting time show me the depths of this machine and your videos really help to reinforce my learning thanks again.. RRRRRIIITM user appreciation society!!
Glad I found this , I’ve been looking at getting another elektron box of tricks and this has made me realise there’s still plenty to explore with the rytm.
im so glad your current videos are even longer.
Dude. I don’t even own a beat machine yet but I feel like I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for being so accessible. Happy Holidays.
Your tutorials are the best! It´s impossible not to become a patreon. Keep up the great work man!
❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Length on these is good for people who really want to learn. Thank you for making them long. No complaints here.
Hello from France. Here we says : "more it's long, more it's Good ."
Thank you for your vidéos. Always cool. 👍
please do MK2 big tutorial
Thank you dude. I've just bought one of these and your tutorial has really helped
Still coming back here for you brilliant reference!
oh man, this video is looking so crispy! always love the content!
That threshold sample record takes me back to the MV 8800 drum machine's sampling methods. Also, cropping based on peaks in the sample was available as well as crop by beat.
Thanks for another super helpful tutorial. You make learning these things a lot more pleasant dude :D
Waiting for mine to come tomorrow, thank you so much for this brilliant video! Most of my work evolves around polymetric patterns. Worked it out on the OTMKII, great to see you sharing this idea with others!!
Oh man, that example resampling the individual tracks is an eye opener. I assumed it would record the sample with FX baked in, but I guess it makes sense it doesn't, like when you use overbridge out, the tracks never have the FX on them, because like you said, it's on the main outs only. Makes sense, but potentially a real gotcha if you aren't paying attention. Great that you pointed that out. So if you want the FX intact when resampling, you'd have to just sample the main outs, and make sure they other tracks are muted, if playing a sequence. But even then, the FX will sound different as any panning or width will be summed up into mono. So what is the solution to resample, with FX, and with the stereo space? I guess that would be to record stereo out into a DAW (or Octatrack), edit the sample in stereo and then transfer it back into the Rytm. A shame they can't make that a little more streamlined. Okay, back to watching your vid now! haha. Great, as always!
Thanks! Yeah it’s a machine full of possibilities. But it’s designed to play back mono samples. If a stereo sample is loaded into the Rytm, it will be converted into mono. However samples can be panned. And the reverb is adding a stereo feel to things.
My Roland TR8 is powered off here sat next to me so it can't see me watching this Video.
I think my TR8 knows a Rytm is entering my setup soon, its been sleeping for a while.
It an op 1 for my Scotland trip. Great synth especially like the breaks that can be made with a drum kit and the arpeggiator it’s so cool!!!!
Super helpful info! Thanks
Great video, just brought the MkII, tutorial and delivery well needed, Thx
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL ON PERFORMANCE MODE!!! Seriously very helpful!
I dont think its too long. Not overloaded and You explain things well.
t’s nice to have a channel doing such a good content.
I’m trying to figure out what is better for me. An Analog Rytm mkt 2 or the digitakt + the syntak.
I need one or the other to create my own drum samples in the studio.. I work a lot with sound design and in the DAW I usually use synth and sample layers to make my own drum sounds.
When I say digitakt + syntak it’s because I’m thinking about syncing the MIDI of the two devices and layering the synth (of syntak) with samples (of the digitakt). Example: in digitakt a clap sample and in the syntak a synth model clap.
I’m trying to figure out which choice has more sound design power.
In the Analog Rytm mkt 2 I can resample… but in the digitakt + syntak it looks like there is a bigger range of sounds for me to tweak and experiment with.
What would be your suggestion?
Thank you!
Are you still going to do the Mega Tutorial for the RYTM MKII?
hoping so...
Please Cuckoo, do it
yes, please do so!!!
MEGA 4 MKII PLEASE!!!
Come on do it!
hello , nie to see you ... I found this very good explaining and interesting go in depth..Gott nytt år!
Great video!
I know that one more comment won't make any difference but could you please make that MEGA Elektron Analog Rytm Mk2 tutorial? We are starving 🙏🏻
Whatever sound you've got programmed into the OP-1 in this video sounds a hell of a lot like Lady by Chromatics 😍
I love the sound of the clicking keys, maybe sample those and compose a chill track.
Nice idea :) I really like the sound too. Has a nice Ring to it.
Such a badass instrument! Cool tutorial and cool jam!
A not on the amplitude env. Most likely what the level differences you see are the noise floors of all the analogue signal paths summing together, making it audible. Might be some useful applications of that in a mix now that i think of it. Great vid! keep up the amazingly in depth content
This Intro👍😂 Could look at this thousand times
I should make a compilation video of all my intros for you ;-)
cuckoomusic This is a good idea
👍👍👍
cuckoomusic I made a compilation of your music videos
cuckoomusic ruclips.net/video/Y9JptZouzCs/видео.html
I know, right!
thanks just made my first sample watching this
"Great question, thanks for asking...." lol. Your videos are awesome.
I became a patron because of this video, nice one!
Thank you so much! Truly appreciate it, friend!
MEGA-TUTORIAL please? 80k views ... and we need it now that Elektron released the black edition.
wish this had the USB audio interface of the TR8S; being able to dump all tracks into a DAW is really appealing.. missing the SD card slot too.. on the other hand the on-board sampling and sequencing functions seem more sophisticated here.
I wish Cuckoo was my big brother. Get stoned at Yule dinners and geek for hours upstairs on the synths while the fam gets drunk and eats bird
i like these videos and i think cuckoo is providing a great service by creating and sharing these, but something about the voice + whispered cadence + pacing that gives me a massive headache every time i try to watch them. probably has something to do with the sounds he chooses as well
Love the mirror effect... easy watching even if you don't care about the item... this item is lovely though
this sounds very nice on headphones, i feel like im in the same room as you
I see that external input being very useful when jamming with other gear and having it be squashed by the drum sounds triggering the compressor of the rytm
Can you please do something new with the Rytm Mkii? I would love to see it. Your videos help a lot.
@TrueCuckoo - any chance we can get a mega tutorial as a 2020 xmas gift? 🙏🔔
Thanks a lot! Enjoying every video by you!
Is there any possibility to change things globally for all tracks in one performance? It is a bit exhausting to dial in every single lock for 12 tracks if you like to filter all at once for instance.. like pressing TRK while parameter locking would be great!
You could talk about how to strike a match correctly and I would be hooked. You are one cool dude great vid 😎✌️
In your opinion, aside from form factor, would you say the Rytm MkII replaces the Digitakt? Excluding the control all trick on the Digitakt
Your having a great hair day man! Thanks for the vid!!
Hey Cuckoo, if you have a polymetric pattern, let's say A1 and a regular one A2. How do you switch between A1 and A2? Do you need to set the common multiplier of the polymetric parts as the clock length? For instance, a 4 step track and a 3 step track will come together every 12 repeats. Hope this makes sense.
Great video thanks nice to have videos about the machine, I got the machine but it's hard to master :-)
Man, that’s some piece of kit...
Hi there.
Is it possible to synchronize loop samples (not one shot samples) to the beat of the pattern (or song) using the start and end points with the loop mode on? You know what I mean? Thanks for your videos.
watching your videos, makes me happy. keep going on the nice work. i just ordered the rytm and so i´m sucking in your vids ;)
Hi Cuckoo. I had a beat all perfected with guitar samples etc that took hours on the MK2. Just for fun I decided to play with the scale. Function + Scale and try it out in all the other besides 64/64 x1... It wasn't in step record mode or anything, but this ended up ruining the beat. Any idea why that happened? I finally brought the scale back to its original state "64/64 x1" and the beat just wasn't the same at all and it would not play through all 4 bars like it initially did when created, it only played the sounds in the first bar x4...
A great Tut. Thanks. i plan to buy this great machine. But one question i cant find a awnser so i hope you can be so kind to help.
Does the FX maby on a Instrument also be routed thru the seperate outs ? Maby if you have some FX on the CLP, does it also goes Thru the CLP Seperate output. On my very old Machine drum it was not , so for me this is a very important function to have it also on the seperate outs and not just on the Main. Thanks and stay health !!!!
how do you position your camera while recording? do you use a certain tripod?
@10:45 you can turn off the synth sound in the trig menu.
You are awesome always.
Great Video👍 Thank You
Thank You.
Hello coco ! , just got this perfect drum machine couple weeks ago, and a have a question for you , what’s a better way to record it , I mean external audio recorder like tascam or zoom , main point standalone workstations
We need more cuckoo jams where you just mess around and do weird stuff all over my ears with your music.
Verry nice, thanx!!
Legend
I own a digitakt. And had no problem learning it. Is this similar?
Does it have the exact same sampling capability as the digitakt??
Hey dude love your vids thanks!!! Where are you based? Are you in London? K
can I parameter lock and record automation for sample start and end ?
@cuckoomusic can you tell me if you can import samples into the Analog Rytm mk2 with the overbridge software or is sampling through the audio-input the only way to import outside material into the Analog Rytm mk2?
You can import any sample file over USB. There’s a simple to use app called “Transfer” for that.
Sweeeeet!!!!! Thank you for your swift reponse, you've just convinced me to buy both the Octatrack and the Analog Rytm next month.
thanks cuckoo!!!
Maybe I'm a bit off topic, but which camera are you using right now? the footage looks awesome!
Thanks mate! This is the first time I’m using the Fujifilm X-E3 for my RUclips channel. I love the Fujifilm colours straight of the Camera. It’s not suitable for video though, since it only records 10 minutes (4k) at a time. I’m usually using the much more powerful GH5 for my channel. It records for hours and have more professional video settings. But the colours are always in need for correction. This video has untouched colours. Straight out of the camera ❤️
do you record the audio into the GH5? or into another device and then sync audio and video in post?
I usually record the audio (multi track) to a Zoom H6. And then sync it afterwards. Sometimes the audio is drifting a tad over time. Then I have to somewhat stretch the audio into place, which is a relatively simple affair.
cuckoomusic Thanks. Keep up the good work.
You are conjuring up a style that is just sooo original and clever. Its almost as much fun to watch the process as it is to watch the content. Sweeet!
I love yah man!
wow, what a maschine!
nice Vid. Thks! Got any stuff about "FILL MODE" coming up?
Dope
Sorry, but it seems you're dealing with polymeter, not polyrhythm.
Having different pattern lengths on different tracks = polymeter.
Having triplets parallel to non-triplets (etcetera) = polyrhythm.
Here's a good description with notation and all:
music.stackexchange.com/questions/10488/polymeter-vs-polyrhythm
Arturia has it misprinted on their Drumbrute frontpanel button - don't let it spread. ;-)
Ok ok ok, gotcha. So for polyrhythmic on the Elektrons, the only way is to sequence carefully with micro timing? Polymeter it is then.
I'll pick up polyrhythmic again later. Being a listener of both folk, and contemporary jazz, I'm no stranger to true polyrhythmic.
Great! It deserves to be exposed more. Both terms also deserve to be spread more, possibly straightening out which is which, and enabling more musicians to use and understand them in both theory and practice. These off-the-binary-grid structures are important and lovely! :-)
I've read that if you set one tracks tempo multiplier to x3/4 every step should play a straight 8th triplet, but I can't confirm it yet and don't know about other divisions. Hopefully the Octa MKII will arrive tomorrow as my first Elektron - probably never been so excited for a device. :)
Thanks for all your helpful Videos, Cuckoo! I feel through watching your videos I'll aready have a quite good grasp of its features, when starting out. Besides, of course, from actually realizing the Octatracks full potential not until I've found your channel, hehe
You can do polyrythms on the octatrack, when you set the "scale mode" in "pattern settings" to "per track". Then you can assign one track's "scale" to "3/4x" or "3/2x", while keeping the master at "1x" to create polyrythms.
Please make more AR MKII videos!!!!
Is there a way to delete al factory samples?
If i sample on 'main' it records reverb/delay but is there any way of resampling with the LFO effect on? So say i want pan left/right...Can i get that to record on the sample?
All the samples are in mono. The only Elektron machine as of today that samples in stereo is the Octatrack.
Ah ok cool. Great vid thanks for the help
great video man :)
Are there any other cheaper boxes with this kind of polyrhythmic functionality??? This is exactly what i was looking for, independent timing per sound with no forced restart on the master (infinite repeat) but i dont have 1.4k to spend on a drum machine lol
Yes the Sonic Potions LXR can do it for 380
You need to do one for the new Analog 4. Very little is out there right now on how to use it.
Ok. Will do.
right on I love your whimsical videos so cool. Here is my first jam that I created on my new Elektron Analog 4 MKII ruclips.net/video/93m63H377Rg/видео.html hope you like it. I need to create some tutorials myself for Elektron beginners who are not PhD music synth nerds :-) that and a track called Cuckoo
What shampoo do you use ? Lay down the facts asap!
❤ really great!
Than you. :)
Какой же крутой мужик
Elektron should drop the actual Octatrack and have this layout instead.
Sascha Haber exactly, I don’t get why octatrack couldn’t have this layout at all. Pads make total sense on a sampling machine like that
binging cuckoo
I pre-ordered at sweetwater. they haven't sent it yet. where did you get it? is this unfair situation?
Certain people must have received them early, for review purposes?
This is ridiculous. If they return it who do you think get the product? Then there is no meaning for pre-order shit. Getting early products for reviewer should be banned. We should be working on this. All youtubers should be aware of this, and give them curse words. This is very serious deceiving situation.
Jeremy Are you being ironic? I don’t get it.
Great video! Thanks! Oh yeah, my wife said, "that guy needs to come his hair! Don't feel bad, she constantly says that to me also. Wives! LOL :)
👀Watching to see if this is worth the $1600 they say it is..
I own a digitakt. Should I get this or the octatrak?
Right out of the box, which machine has more potential, the octotrack or the analog rythm?
Joan Torruella Analog Rytm and Octatrack are different. But I have more fun with Analog Rytm
The Rytm has really great analog engines that you can use to create music. So out of the box, not preloaded with anything special, you can certainly create great music. But the Octatrack MKII comes with a brand new (awesome) sample library produced by selected professional partners. So the Octatrack is really great out of the box now.
I prefer the microgranny above all. 🏋🏻🌭
cuckoomusic thanks! I think I will go for the octotrack.
I bought an Octrack MK2 and Analog 4 MK2 and love the Octatrack the best. Nothing beats sampling your voice or Jedi Master Yoda and twisting it a billion ways and making bass and drum beats out of your own voice. I did this recently and it was sooo much fun! Learning curve is steep but payoff great for live one box that does it all. Rytm has bugs/hardware freeze issues and higher price tag.
Caveman with a beatbox
be nice if the digitakt had fine tune
Yeah Fine tune + chromatic tuning would be helpful. Now there’s only fine tune. It’s a bit hard to tune stuff.
Mega Tute of the Analog Rytm mk2 ... 😢
