Hi Romi, did you get an answer?
Hi Multiple Choice, no - not yet!
Christian from the elektron-support answered: āItās not a common issueā¦i should contact my retailer, they can compare it to a different unit and see if itās normal or not.ā
My retailer said they never had this issue beforeā¦
Itās now on the way to elektron in swedenā¦
I hope they will fix it!
Well, I hope you get luckier than me. Mine is only slightly better now.
That they are saying you would be the first is surprising me - especially since I also had Christian answering. This makes me wonder how many of these complains they really got. Remember, at first they told me, it is normal to a quite high extent.
Also my retailer compared and told me, it would be absolutely normal.
That you got to send yours to Sweden is also surprising me - why not just a swap?
But hey, life is full of surprises
This spring noise from the buttons was instantly obvious to me when i got my AR2. Questionable design really. But sounds from my speakers drown it out enough for me to not be a major concern.
I could only let it go by using headphones while finger drumming. Not optimum and not as I would expect for this price.
Mine also makes this noise
Mine does also. Thought it was a bit strange but doesnāt bother me too much tbhā¦
To me it sounds like springs resonating on the metal case.
The actual pressing of the other normal buttons and trig buttons
makes a much louder clicking noise reckon itās just how it is
a nice loop came out of your sample
That sound is awful ;)ā¦ As far as I remember mine did not sound like that, it did many other things āwrongā but it did not ring like yours.
I just got my rytm mk2 deliveredā¦ take it out the box and turned it onā¦ IMMEDIATELY im like āwtf is thatā
Its absolutely ridiculous!!! I cant imagine ever getting used to it. It is unbelievably loud and like others have said it rings out for a really long time.
What am i supposed to do?
Edit: this thing cost me more than 10% of my entire yearly salary after tax, i work 40 hours a week and detest my job. This is crushing tbh. It sounds dramatic but I mean really what is the point
Update: immediately sending it back
This is really bad my friend! I am sorry to hear this
Where did you buy if from?
Maybe Elektron will announce the hidden spring reverb with the next OS updateā¦?
I dont want to name the retailer as i dont think itās their fault at all. They are sending me another one out and collecting this one free of charge, they have been very good about it.
I know, nut knowing the retailer helps other people knowing there are faulty one out there
I was about to buy rymt mk2 from Andertons, and when I read your post I did not proceed with the order.
So youre not going to buy one?
mine came from andertons, mine is perfecto. It doesnāt āthudā like my other kit , you can tell itās hollow and that it has a slight sustain, but it isnāt something that I thought about until I read this thread.
I donāt know I read so many bad comments and experiences, pad muting issues, ringing noise, general freeze
I mean it is a Ā£1200 machine, I would not accept any faults on it.
When did you buy it?
May this year.
