You've got eight drum voices on the Elektron Analog Rytm, and every producer at Sweetwater is impressed with the sonic flexibility you have. On top of the analog sound generator, you've got a sample playback engine for layering a digital sample with your analog tone. From there you've got analog overdrive, analog multimode filter, amplitude envelope, effects sends, and an LFO. That's for each individual drum voice. Whether you're primarily interested in creating analog sounds or tapping into your vast sample library, you'll love how the Analog Rytm brings the two together.

The Scene mode on the Analog Rytm gives you incredible parameter control over the analog circuits, thanks to ultra-fast digital control. Each scene is a set of parameter settings that you can assign to the performance pads, allowing you to change lots of parameters simultaneously just by hitting a pad. The amazing thing is that you could change scenes or even sounds every step of the sequence with no unwanted glitches or lags - perfect for creating outrageously complex patterns and nuanced progressions alike. It's no small feat to create a truly analog signal path that you can automate with no noticeable lag, but Elektron nailed it. Musicians at Sweetwater are amazed at the powerful digital control over the analog circuitry, and we've scrutinized countless synths, sequencers, and drum machines at Sweetwater.

Everything about the Analog Rytm shows that Elektron knows what demanding electronic musicians need. The responsive pads are superb for pounding in beats as well as playing sounds chromatically, and you can color code them for easy visual identification. The powerful sequencer gives you all the control you could ask for, and it's easy to link together pattern chains on the fly. You've got individual audio outputs for each drum voice, plus USB and MIDI I/O too. Any performing electronic musician at Sweetwater will tell you that the combination of rich analog sound, versatile performance potential, and a smart design make the Elektron Analog Rytm an outstanding addition to any electronic rig.
