Elektron analog rhythm mk2

" A hybrid analog/digital drum 8 parts analog drum machine with sampling features. Updated version from 2014 mk1 with minor improvements"

Overview

OVERVIEW new polished cased still keeping 12 rubber pads formula, but bigger sizer, with velocity and aftertouch. Bigger and brighter 128 x 64 pixel OLED display and classic array of elektron encoders which sends MIDI messagges for automation.
System works with 48 kHz, 24-bit DAC / ADC.

SOUNDS There are 12 available drums arranged into tracks: with these abbreviations family BD, SD, RS, CP, BT, LT, MT, HT, CH, OH, CY and CBF.

Analog Rytm generates eight independent voices that can be used to give sound to as many percussive timbres generated with different synthesis modes (and sub models) Noise Generator, Percussion Sound Generator and Sample Playback Engine.

SOUND GENERATOR keeps same models as mk1 adding new variations and parameters e.g silky, sharp , here's a quick glance:

-Classic beat drum is a sinewave modulated thru the pitch EG with variable tuning, sweep and waveform (symmetry).

-Bass drum hard same as above with SNAP factor

-Bass drum FM based on basically the classic beat drum with linear modulation frequency with variable modulator and carrier
-Bass drum silky new model layer between tone and click with DUST parameter emulation of the behaviour of electricity
-Bass drum sharp (new model) with new wav tones : sinewave + asymmetric one, triangle, sine&sawtooth and sawtooth
-Bass Drum Plastic (new model) classic drum but can be processed in FM and/or ring modulation

-Snare is created with 2 detuned oscillator mixed to white noise and snap factor; hard and FM factor are variation similar to previous explained Bass Drum models.

-Rimshot two oscillators mixed with an impulse generator and a noise generator

-Hand clap, similar to 808, it is composed by two parts a repeating EG (flam) with a noise generator

-Bass TOM similar to Beat drum with sinewave generator

-Closed Hat Classic – Open Hat Classic based with 6 square wave oscs thru complex filtering.

-Cymbal Classic: similar to Hihat process

-Cowbell: two squares oscillators through band pass filtering

Sequencer filter and fx

SEQUENCER pattern based system with recordable sound parameters, variable quantisation, swing, user lenght and time-signature (also odd).
A maximum of 4×16 steps is allowed with classic accent, slide and a lot of advanced functions.Patterns can be recorded to either Grid Recording or Live Recording based on TRX machines then it is possible to spice the pattern with MicroTiming (up to 384 precision) .
Live mode, as the name tale us, is more a drummer approach with metronome function, with some performance function like drum rolls.
Finally patterns can be chained to classic song.

FILTER multi mod 12 dB/Oct

FX reverb, overdrive, distortion, compressor and delay

MEMORY 1GB internal SSDD called +Drive with a max amount of 4096 drum sounds + 128 projects, each with 128 kits and 128 pattern
