I think thereās few Holliday days leftā¦ iām sure we are going to have news for the launch very soon
on Thomann Octatrack MKII is declared as Available rapidly in 2/5 days, and Analog Four mkII 29.09 (End of September) for me it make sense with Availability on Elektron.se
Now for demos or promo, if it make sense for Analog Four mkII and more for Analog Rytm mkIIā¦ As OT mkII is more an enhancements of physical partsā¦ thereās not really needs of demos and promo. But iām sure something like that will occur at some point.
I canāt stop thinking about an AR with the DTās sampling capabilities. IF you contrast the DT to the ARā¦
The DT hasā¦
midi sequencing
small form
roughly half the price
The AR MKII hasā¦
DT sampling
Performance control with both performance & scenes
synth engines
My point is simply wow.
Iām wondering if editing existing samples will also be the same on the AR MKII as it is on the DT. Correct me if Iām wrong, but the AR simply divides an audio sample up into 120 even selections, while the DT uses time.
DT divides the same amount of space, but at higher resolution than AR MK1. So instead of 1, 2, 5, 17, 120ā¦ It can do 1.01, 2.67, 5.00, 17.81, and 119.97, etc.
It isnāt based on time.
Sorry, would have been a great analog, though
If ARMK2 adopts this level of resolution, and hopefully DTās waveform view, it will indeed be a big improvement.
But donāt forget, used ARMK1 + DT is about the same price as a new ARMK2. And the pair gives you all of the above, but with 18 audio tracks.
Anyone notice that the SYN button has been replaced with a SRC button. If this isnāt a mistake it would appear that your two voice combinations are:
[ ] Synth & Sample
[ ] SAMPLE & Sample
Also the FX button above the pads has been moved right and replaced by FIX. Anyone know anything?
āSRCā might be the new nomenclature for the AR (and maybe MD MKIII???) Considering it has several drum-models (āmachinesā) and a sample-based layer of the voice, it probably wasnāt accurate to call that section āsynth,ā anymore. To prevent confusion, sampling is now on the āSMPLā page.
Braun used to be king in human centered design. Also the well known ādesign thinkingā comes from them.
I like the new design. Especially because they made everything more direct to acccess.
Sorry to sayā¦
I am on a super clean camping in Holland right now. When sitting on a toilet 10 minutes ago, i was amazed about how clean it wasā¦ i looked around and saw everything was made in such a way that it was:
Super easy to clean
Super pleasant to use
And it looks very good because good materials are usedā¦
I do like the Deiter Rams Braun design. I think I may have thought my Machine Drum was a bit spartan and āutilitarianā when I first purchased it ages ago, but of course it was all about the sound.
Hi everyone.
Iām 48 years old ,3 kids etc and since going teetotal 5 years go ,have been able to get away with buying various gear ,pretty much unchallenged by the wife.In the search for the right workflow/kit Iāve tried a maschine studio , Arturia spark and recently an Mpc live .Ive still got my Pioneer toraiz which is going on eBay ,pioneer need shooting for releasing with shite firmware, and so I didnt get on with any of them.Stumbled upon the elektron gear about 8 weeks ago and have been watching dataline and cuckoo vids of the mk1 stuff.The analogue rytm is the maschine for me and Iāve been desperate to get my hands on one,but then the mk2 s were announced,so Iād be stupid to not hold out for one.Ive been on elektronaughts reading up on the forums and stuff and get a good feeling about getting into this gear.There seems to be so much problem solving going on ,which gives me confidence that my quest is over.
Looking forward to getting a rytm soon upon release,does anyone have any intelligence of first stores to get stock??
Thanks
Everyone
I have been reading reports here that MKII units are delayed until next January 2018. This information is false. I emailed Elektron to confirm this and I have just received the following response:
usually you need to preorderā¦ otherwise you are too late and have to wait another few months to get the drum computer
I come from Maschineā¦ canāt touch itā¦ had one for free a couple of months ago, but didnāt want it
I love the Rytm, best thing ever! Only missed sampling, so sold and got digitakt (also amazing)
now I preordered Rytk MK2ā¦ looking forward.
