Description
Musicians and music producers in search of a high-quality hybrid analog drum machine with sampling capabilities should look no further than the Elektron Analog Rytm MKII an eight-voice analog drum computer and sampler that marries the sounds and sensibilities of analog-generated sounds with digital samples. Each voice accesses dedicated analog circuits, fine-tuned for generating specific analog drum sounds. For additional flexibility, each voice can also be combined with customizable samples. Multiple tools are available for shaping the sound, with every voice having its own analog multimode filter and analog distortion circuit. Reverb and delay send effects add additional shaping possibilities, and an analog compressor and analog distortion on the master channel apply the requisite vibe to the final output. The twelve backlit velocity- and pressure-sensitive drum pads provide a quick way of creating rhythms without stifling spontaneity. The built-in step sequencer allows for manipulating sounds on a per-step basis.The MKII offers several enhancements including sampling capabilities, an OLED screen, durable backlit buttons (rated for 50 million presses), precision encoders, quick performance controls, large pads, an increased number of dedicated buttons, expression/CV inputs, balanced sampling inputs, Overbridge with higher bandwidth, and a premium cast-aluminum enclosure. With the balanced inputs, you can now sample directly into the instrument, while the OLED display offers crisp, clear viewing in low-light conditions. Additional buttons have been added to the interface to enable a faster workflow.Benefits Drum Voice Features ( 8)Fully analog signal path1 specialized analog percussion sound generator1 sample playback engine1 analog overdrive circuit1 2-pole analog multimode filter1 panning VCA pair1 filter envelope1 amp envelope2 individual effect sends1 assignable LFO1 dedicated LFO fade envelopeStorage128 projects (+Drive)128 kits per project128 patterns per project16 songs per Project4096 sounds (+Drive sound library)128 sounds per project127 samples per project1GB +Drive sample storageSequencer12 drum tracks1 FX trackSequencer MIDI OutUp to 64 steps per patternIndividual length per trackIndividual scale per trackParameter locksStep recording modeTrig previewTrig probabilityInstant pattern, kit, and sound reloadLive-friendly performance modeTrig mute, swing, slide, accent functionsTrig conditionsMicro timingChromatic modeScene modeSample-per-step changeSound-per-step changeAssignable retrigFull real-time controlSend EffectsDelayReverbMaster EffectsAnalog stereo distortionAnalog stereo compressorEight-Voice Analog Drum Computer and Sampler Layer distinctive analog percussion with digital samples.
