Out of interest - the Rytm sounds integral to your setup, despite all your modular - Midi clock / ableton etc. Do you use the Rytm individual outputs or just the mains? Presume hardwired to your audio interface instead of USB to ableton.
Also do you do your mixing / mastering yourself? Look forward to your release next week.
Guess not got your hands on a Perkons to try yet? That would be an interesting review
the rytm is my main drum machine. I have all the individual outs routed through a tiptop audio wayout8 so that i can integrate it with my modular effects and i had been recording it that way for the past couple years, but I actually just got a new m2 mac laptop and switched to using overbridge now and it works flawlessly with my current devices (rytm syntakt a4 digitone)
this video was made a couple months back so I hadnāt gotten the new laptop yet
I mix my stuff myself but mastering is handled by others.
Alain Paul and Dadub Mastering are my current favorite engineers, I use either one depending on the project
I have messed with the perkons a bit and there are a couple videos on my channel but Iāve not gotten one in for review yet, perhaps in the future!
I think with the rytm, modular, syntakt, digitone, pulsar 23, and modor dr2 iām more than covered for drums so iām not in a super rush to get one tbh
I guess heās never had to read the Intellijel Metropolix manual. I donāt know what kind of sick sadistic person wrote that but itās good for getting my kid to sleep at night.
I have dreams of just recording to two track on a big desk like a midas venice or something but Iāve not been brave enough yet
some tracks here and there come out completely unedited but its rare that i get the mix right the first time so I always have to at least adjust some levels
since using overbridge now i dont process the rytm through the modular but i just stick plugins on it to do the same things
octatrack has so many uses for me, itās one of my favorite devices ever, as a sound source, sample mangler, etc. it also comes in really handy in remixes as I will put peopleās stems in there and make new sounds from them
this track is an example of that, the main bass is octatrack with the original trackās stems, and drums are all rytm, i forget what the other sounds are but likely modular:
also here is a track I made in kosovo on someoneās borrowed octatrack straight into a zoom recorder:
the story behind that one is kinda funny, I did a DJ set in kosovo and was there for a couple days and the promoters invited me to a house party and when i got there they had set up an octatrack for me and asked me to perform on it, and that was the result
Too late. So inspiring was your speech that I have since burnt all of my manuals, including my sonās Lego manuals. The real destroyers of imaginative and creative thoughts.
Who gives a fuck whether or not Joey likes the fucking manuals.
Where Iām from, calling someone out means offering another gentleman to meet you in the car park for a fight.
I would pay to watch Joey fight the OT manual in a car park.
Seriously though, people need to stop using the words ācalling outā to describe other people expressing an opinion (especially ones that are obviously pretty tongue in cheek). Load of old shit.
I also immediately started trying to figure out who this elektron user named Manuel was, but as it turned out there was more than one, so I soon lost interest as I do in anything that takes more than 3 clicks to achieve.
All manuals are horrible experiences, because youāre feeling impatient, frustrated and trying to figure something out. Writing manuals is a thankless job.
My only wish is that companies started making online manuals with search, hyperlinks, and a scalable page instead of PDFs.
