Hello everybody.
I have a problem with my Analog Rytm.
When I play a pattern the first step is playing less loud than the others.
Moreover, when the pattern goes back again to step 1, it is played at the right volume.
Is my AR not working correctly or is it just a matter of OS?
Have you tried recreating the issue using another pattern with a completely different kit/sounds?
I’d try that and troubleshoot from there.
I second this ^
Also, this affects all tracks´s sounds?
The track begins with a bass drum. It’s a synth sound. No samples.
From the second step of the BD the sound works properly
This could be caused by a variety of issues (LFO modulation, velocity automation etc), I’d try troubleshooting it with what I recommended above.
I think that you are right about the LFO.
I’m not at home right now but I will try to turn off the LFO of the track as soon as I get my hands again onmy AR.
Hope it works, but in the meantime thanks a lot.
You sure there is no accent on that step?
Accent would affect the note on each pattern restart, and this is not the case.
Maybe the bass drum is micro timed before the first step. Hold down the trig in step record mode, press the left or right arrow and make sure it is ‘on grid’ and see if this helps.
Strangely, every time I hit the BD, even if I’m not playing any pattern, the first hit is without punch.
I have put the LFO off from the trig page, so it’s not the LFO.
compression attack/release settings, maybe?
have you tried to simply remove the step and place it back again? does it make any change at all?
edit: took me ages to post this reply, what you posted before kind of answers my question
Putting the LFO off on the trig page isn’t putting the LFO off at all.
You are just not re-triggering it, but the LFO is still running on the background.
To turn off the LFO you need to set DEP to 0 on the LFO page, also if you want to be completely sure it won’t turn on by accident set DST to NONE also on the LFO page.
Maybe the compressor is at play too…
Did you check the attack in the amp page?
Yeah. Maybe there’s a long attack and hold, which may explain why the rest of the hits are fine.
I agree to the long attack but not on the amp attack (which has to be retriggered on each step), a long attack on the compressor 
When you press play the first kick sounds strong, then compressor start working latter because the attack, and keep compressing till you stop the RYTM, then when you press play… all over again.
Ok.
Thanks a lot to all. It looks like changing the Attack of the filter worked, even if it was not set very high.
Don’t know why, but it works fine now…

It was mentioned in the thread below that, unlike the A4, the amp envelope does not retrigger

I’m not trying to be contrary or anything. Im just new to synthesis (specially envelopes) and curious for my own interest. Fwiw, i couldn’t find anything in the manual.

True, but take in mind that one thing is the envelope re-triggering (that actually happens always (or you wonn´t be able to listen to the sound once te amplitude gets to 0 (-infinite) Another thing is restart from zero amplitude on each re-starting.
As you can see on this image from your other post:
On the second trigger the envelope has again an attack then a release, so it is restarting, what doesn’t resets is the amplitude. The second trigger gets the actual amp value as start point.
On the A4 you can choose a shape that will force the envelope to re-start from amp = zero, instead of takeover the actual amp, this option is not available on the RYTM so each time the envelope is triggered it will restart from the actual amplitude level.
