Love this video. It perfectly captures the Elektron discovery process - “wait, what does this do? Shit, I deleted it! Oh wow that is so cool...” I think Elektron stuff has a rep of being hard to learn but honestly the “learning” is more about being willing to put the time in and experiment. I started sitting with my Analog Rytm on the couch, too, and it just always ends up being so much more inspiring than staring at a blank DAW screen...
Hey Ricky! Regarding the statements around 16:00 regarding the Trigless-Trigs and P-Lock. I picked up this machine a few weeks ago and I think I ran into the same issue. I wanted to create some Pitch & Filter sweeps. First tool I went for was the Trigless-Trigs, but they absolutely do not work at all. However, these sort of things are possible using "GLIDE-TRIGS". The manual has a painfully brief section, and there are some limitations on possible Glide-able parameters. But the brief is, you can create two trigs, each with a different P-Lock and then sweep between those values on the sequencer. Think of it as creating a simple "automation lane" in your linear DAW; the Glide-Trigs are your points in time (horizontal) and their P-Locks automation value (vertical). So basically, Trigless-Trig's P-lock lock to those set values for an instant in time. Useful for for say pitching around notes. Glide-Trigs's P-Locks, sweep values between two P-Lock trigs. Useful for creating Filter Sweeps and other such "automation lane" type functionality. This really opened up the machine for me. Became more synth than drum machine.
The thing you want to do at around 18:40 - you can do it by changing the LEN value to the right. That sets the number of steps before the pattern resets. Turn all the way to the left to set it to "INF" so it loops without resetting.
Yeah, getting my head around that same thing on my model:samples. It's crazy how much you can get out of a "16 step" pattern with these Elektron boxes. 🎶
That's the way to do it, but there seems to be no way to get a reset of 32 steps on one track and 64 steps on another track. But actually, I never saw a compromise in that.
It’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!
The dual vco is sick, and you can use 3 of them at the same time if you want to make chords, which is 6 oscillators. Or use one voice for bass and one for lead, and use the other for analog kick!
Around 9:30 the reason you heard OSCs tuned was probably based on what note you were playing at the time. As you move up/down the register of notes the phase relationship becomes closer/further from the other. This is why some notes sound like the OSCs are wobbling faster than other notes even though you made no changes to OSC tunings
Hey Ricky, re watching this after the 1.70 update. At 20:30 you mention the tuning, which in the update got more precise. Did they add decimal points in the (sample) control 🎛️ or also impacted the pitch 🎛️ of the sy raw and vco
oh duh haha, 12 24 48 i was thinking 24! hahaha. Thanks for the clarification Janosh. i geuss its nice that they give us a finer resolution vs the 12 notes between an octave only
@@RickyTinez There are 1200 cents in an octave, dividing that by 48 gives you increments of 25 cents. So what's the significance of 25 cents? Well, it turns out that normal adults are able to reliably recognize pitch differences of as small as 25 cents.
@@fts4life and with 25 cents thats a quarter, so with 4 dual VCO engines i will finally have a $1.00!! Jokes aside thats wild, weird how all this revolves around our senses and how to make us feel
I F’in love my Rytm mk2 and my A4 mk2!!! Had an Octatrack for a bit, but was disappointed with the filter. If the Octatrack mk3 has an analog filter I will definitely get it..
I wish I had something better to say than this is so good, but seriously this is sooo good. I’ve barely scratched the surface of my MKII but now have the inspiration to go deep.... into the MKII
@ 7:50 As far as I can tell (and i checked the manual) as you are raising the BAL knob in Dual VCO (with FM on) you are raising the level of OSC 2 which is causing the modulation you hear. You aren't hearing osc2 you are hearing osc1 being modulated. In this mode, BAL acts as a FM Amount knob.
thanks Ricky for making this video. I think most people I've seen are underutilizing this drum machine. But I find that in most videos and in my personal experience, everyone has these similar moments of "Why isn't it.. wait.. why can't it do this?? thats annoying as FAWW***!!!" and then finding out "sh*T i cleared my previous pattern, or now the other one is messed up..." and also little quirks like, why is the pitch all weird, or why doesn't the decay work like I think it should? GRRRR!!! I've been both in wonder of this machine and also completely frustrated by it and curious why elektron won't just make it work like a normal person would think it should. maybe thats what others LIKE about it, but I personally hate it. and perhaps I'm looking at it all wrong. I'm starting to accept that if I want to make the best of this machine I should just give up any expectations of what i think it should do and just f*ck w all the settings and whatever comes out comes out. but, in some respects it keeps me from wanting to mess with it because i never know how it will actually fit into any one of my projects. anyway, just thought i would share
Looooove your expressions when you were figuring out the trigless locks for the filter. That's exactly my reaction everytime I figure out something new on Rytm.
7:45 isn’t the osc 1 just the carrier and osc 2 the modulated carrier? Listing to just the modulator might be less useful then being able to listen to the carrier and the modulated carrier
Nice job man! Love your work flow. You've inspired me to up my sample game for my Rytms library. in case no ones mentioned it, one thing I overlooked on the Rytm for years is the parameter "Slide". It's soo good for long kick decays, long resonant filter sweeps and stuff like that. Peace!
ChatGPT says: In microtonal music, an octave is typically divided into more than 12 equal parts, unlike in standard Western music where the octave is divided into 12 equal parts (i.e., 12-tone equal temperament). One such microtonal tuning system is called 48-EDO, which stands for 48 equal divisions of the octave. In 48-EDO, the octave is divided into 48 equally spaced intervals, each of which is called a "48th-tone". These intervals are smaller than the semitones (i.e., half-steps) used in standard Western music. So, in 48-EDO, there are 48 notes within an octave, and each of these notes is separated by an interval equal to 1/48 of an octave. This is how 48 is related to an octave in microtonal music, specifically in the 48-EDO tuning system.
12 is usually one octave. 4 x 12 is 48, which makes more sense than 44. Twice twice.. Would be easier if they just used decimals and our usual numbers. 😅 Elektron could gladly change this in an update, or for a future analog rytm Mk3. I would really enjoy having more LFO's and/or LFO destinations. Maybe channel unbound LFO's and ESPECIALLY stereo for the individual outs, which I don't get how they don't have.. (If they have and I just don't operate correctly, PLEASE educate me!) Thanks Ricky for inspiring greatly with your content!
Thanks to your video I realised that "trigless trigs" are also available on the Digitakt and I was looking for this functionality since weeks! Thanks!! (i should probably have RTFM^^). Cool video as always by the way, this Rytm looks like the next level DT... tempting! :)
Hey Ricky, I was wondering if you still have much use for the Rytm…since I don't see you using it much. If not, what keeps you from using it these days?
Eyo - If you want the 12 steps to continue on w/o reseting on the 1, in the 'master' section of the adv scale mode, increase the length to either 'inf', or to a multiple of the track scale you're focusing on (so 24, 36, etc). If you set it to 'inf', it can also be helpful to mess with the 'chng' setting to make sure patterns will chain/change over in song or chain modes. I just did a vid on the Analog Four (check it out :P), and in that performance I had that issue. I'm probably gonna do some beats on my AR soon and film them, and if I do I'll make sure to point that out!
Tuning in 48 increments makes perfect sense: i.e. it simply means that you're tuning in quarter-tones... Very useful for various styles of Eastern music, amongst other things. Cheers!
not trying to push you in any direction... BUT.. i had the MK1 Rytm, and bought a DT to "replace" it and it never did. Although i eventually sold the MK1 i missed it. The DT did get me by, but now using the Rytm MK2 i'm like oooohhhh right.. this is what i missed. But i constantly forget that both the Rytm and DT are just 8 tracks.. 🤷♂️
@@RickyTinez yeah, RYTM with the dual VCO is exactly what I want as a groovebox, though I am loving DT and DN together. I’ve owned 2 RYTMs with glitchy pads, so I’m always so hesitant to go for it, but I will someday
I ended up keeping my Digitakt after finally getting a RytmMk2. The DT is still my master clock and MIDI sequencer for other gear, and I use it to play ambient/textural loops and one-shot sound bites, while the Rytm focuses on drums (and the occasional dual VCO funkiness.
“ oh god, I think I broke it “ 😁 Bro, sometimes you are so lost that my slow ass can’t keep up 😆 but I will say that sharing your passion and showing us your discoveries with various products is cool for those of us window shopping (sometimes needlessly 🤣) There are tutorials out there that are amazing and probably better for trying to learn every detail of some device or whatever, however I still dig your let’s take a ride together style and appreciate your putting yourself into cyberspace, sharing with the rest of us synth geeks. Your comments section is fab and full of love. I like watching the show as a perfect bedtime story so I can dream of my next musical adventure 🥰
I love that sound /beat clip at 17:54 . What type of music genre would it be. I love this type of music but not sure the genre of it and what to look for. Somebody help .. appreciate from top
Getting an analog rytm in a couple of days and I’ve watched this like 5 times to memorise. So hyped, this video helps me confirm I made the right choice!
Would love to see a mini progress report on what you've been learning about the piano/theory. I'm doing the same (synth guy learning to actually play the damn thing). It's mind-blowing to discover what a genius interface the piano key layout is once you learn about modes (Dorian, mixolydian etc.)
The Dual VCO combined with the analog filter, a little overdrive, and some ping-pong delay can create some wild acid-type sounds. The FM modes can also create some wild timbres and happy accidents pretty quickly, especially when you play with bend and (the OSC page) decay.
Analog gear changes with temperature and is imperfect in general and is one reason why some folks like analog, other than the fact that it doesn't alias at any frequency. It could have been that your machine was either cold or had warmed up and you could perfectly sync the VCOs. But there's always an inherent 'drift' in analog. In fact, I have an Alesis micron that simulates analog drift. Each time the oscillator is triggered, it's off by the tiniest of tiny frequency, so if you set perfect pitch to all 3 oscillators, they will still phase 'ever so slightly' and moderately different each time, which is pretty close to how analog gear works. I don't know if it mentions temperature in the manual but in general, it's best to let analog gear warm up for about 3-5 minutes and the frequencies should be fairly stable.
How to make it weirder*** set your master pattern length to 256 or some high number to have your polyrhythms continue to run without retriggering for longer periods :) I have actually found some really cool rhythms by setting the master length to shorter amounts like you have there.
Have been playing around my Rytm MK 1 for half a year already. It's DVCO bass capabilities are not even close to such a toy as Volca Bass, not mentioning stuff like Doepher Dark Energy. Thanx for video. FM mixing was very surprising for me.
@@Dewane1511 I appreciate the response 🙏🏿 . I’m really leaning towards the MPC live. I need a new workflow in my life. I’m starting to get a little tired of sitting in front of ableton.
ARytm doesn't have trig lengths? To answer your trigless trig sustaining till the next trig comes along... Or did i get it wrong? I believe in the octatrack unless your trig is infinite in length it cuts the sample to the number of steps in your trig length.
Hi! Is there any substantial difference between the grey AR and this new black version? I mean this black one is a bit expensive I think... Is it still worth to buy 2021?
@19:08 what you want to do is adjust the Master length of the pattern. That’s the meaningful denominator for getting long, evolving, out of sync patterns
I feel like this channel has the perfect mix of unscripted and prepared material that makes it feel high quality and genuine.
When Ricky makes mistakes he gets all the praise in the world. When I make one small mistake I get fired from my job as an air traffic controller 😂

One octave being 48 steps is because this is 4*12, which means you get 4 steps per semitone, allowing finer tuning.

Getting an analog rytm in a couple of days and I’ve watched this like 5 times to memorise. So hyped, this video helps me confirm I made the right choice!
Super pattern.. that chord is awesome.. thanks for video
Re: 19:30 you want your master to be really high like 256 or 512 to get Straight poly
Would love to see a mini progress report on what you've been learning about the piano/theory. I'm doing the same (synth guy learning to actually play the damn thing). It's mind-blowing to discover what a genius interface the piano key layout is once you learn about modes (Dorian, mixolydian etc.)
"There's no one else in the room and he's talking his head off!! He must be talking to me."
you got it!

The Dual VCO combined with the analog filter, a little overdrive, and some ping-pong delay can create some wild acid-type sounds. The FM modes can also create some wild timbres and happy accidents pretty quickly, especially when you play with bend and (the OSC page) decay.
How am I just now learning that my Rytm has a built-in compressor...?!

The dog wants to kiss u 4 all of us the fans out here. This channel rocks bro. Wish schools were operating like this.
Cheers brother. Cute dog man.

Analog gear changes with temperature and is imperfect in general and is one reason why some folks like analog, other than the fact that it doesn't alias at any frequency. It could have been that your machine was either cold or had warmed up and you could perfectly sync the VCOs. But there's always an inherent 'drift' in analog. In fact, I have an Alesis micron that simulates analog drift. Each time the oscillator is triggered, it's off by the tiniest of tiny frequency, so if you set perfect pitch to all 3 oscillators, they will still phase 'ever so slightly' and moderately different each time, which is pretty close to how analog gear works.
I don't know if it mentions temperature in the manual but in general, it's best to let analog gear warm up for about 3-5 minutes and the frequencies should be fairly stable.
Hey Ricky, will you please do more Rytm videos????
I'm getting this now lmao. Dope video as always
'... I think she is hungry.." Yeah! Hungry for those Fire BEATS!!!
How to make it weirder*** set your master pattern length to 256 or some high number to have your polyrhythms continue to run without retriggering for longer periods :) I have actually found some really cool rhythms by setting the master length to shorter amounts like you have there.
Have been playing around my Rytm MK 1 for half a year already. It's DVCO bass capabilities are not even close to such a toy as Volca Bass, not mentioning stuff like Doepher Dark Energy. Thanx for video. FM mixing was very surprising for me.
Hey ricky, do you know a vst with an integrated sequencer where you can do something similar like parameter locking?

That beat at the end was so rich. I loved it.
can i rec and save a track in this analog rytm?
woah dude, nice jam!
Elektron Analog Rytm II vs MPC live II. I wonder which you would choose? I’m leaning more towards the Rytm II because of the sound and trigs.
You cant slice samples and the time stretching is tricky on it ...so i have the MPC live 2 .
@@Dewane1511 I appreciate the response 🙏🏿 . I’m really leaning towards the MPC live. I need a new workflow in my life. I’m starting to get a little tired of sitting in front of ableton.
Dogs and drum machines… best new series
ARytm doesn't have trig lengths? To answer your trigless trig sustaining till the next trig comes along... Or did i get it wrong? I believe in the octatrack unless your trig is infinite in length it cuts the sample to the number of steps in your trig length.
This is all possible on MK1 yes???
I knew it...you’re the guy behind the lo-fi hip hop channel on YT!
Hi! Is there any substantial difference between the grey AR and this new black version? I mean this black one is a bit expensive I think... Is it still worth to buy 2021?
dope track at the end!!!
@19:08 what you want to do is adjust the Master length of the pattern. That’s the meaningful denominator for getting long, evolving, out of sync patterns
Great stuff. I want to redesign my studio but there is no outlet where i want to be. Am i ok running like 15 devices from an extension cord?

That is the most adorable Chupacabra I've ever seen. She (he?) seems very chill.
I call her that too!! Haha. She’s Frida, the little gargoyle 😂
can you share some sample packs you like outside of things on splice. Really like the synth sample on here
