I was very surprised it can handle drum sticks, and it seems to respond well to rolls. That's not at all what I expected. That sort of expression seems to be lost by the Elektron sequencer though... would probably work better with a MPC.
I have recently tried the Linnstrument. It's great, as long as the temperature is right. Heat changes makes the silicon surface flabby and makes it more or less unplayable. The solution proposed by the company was to keep it in a fridge for 15-20 mins! This looks much nicer, is customizable and sturdier. Kind of a Mutant Lemur on steroids.
I had this problem when I bought mine back to India from the states, I found a comment on some forum saying they loosened the screws just a tad and I tried it and it worked. It’s back to being flat and works well.
I’d love to see Martin Horntveth use this in a video with you! Would be very interesting to see what you make together! The little instastory you posted intrigued me a lot!
Haha, thanks! The Analog Rytm has a lot to offer as a bass synth actually. Some of the kick drum and rim shot synths, and the newer more open ended Dual VCO work really great as bass synths.
I was hesitating a year ago about ordering this or waiting for the osmose. They both have their strengths but i chose the osmose due to the haken engine
Yeah the Osmose is really special. This is special too in its own way of course. I always like the idea of working with a visually customisable platform like this.
Can you write text labels inside the rectangles etc. to denote what each box is. Like Kick, Snare, Hi hat etc? Wish instead of a dot matrix LED it was a more realistic display.
Can the elektron sequencer get all the 32nd (or faster) rolls when recording (depending on pattern length/speed)? Does it quantize them into slower rolls? Would love to experiment with this with the Syntakt maybe
The Elektron sequencer can record one note per step/ trig. If you turn off Quantising, and record it records your playing pretty accurately. But if you play two notes in the span of one trig, it will still average that to one note (the last note you played). If you set the pattern to run at double tempo you'll have a shorter pattern, but at least you can record much more freely. You can also experiment with linking several double tempo patterns for recording longer sequences. If you need rolls, you can enter them in manually in the sequencer. On the Rytm there is a feature called Roll. But generally this is called Retrig, and can be accessed by pressing trig+up. It can be a little fiddly getting it right, but the option to have a rolls/ retrigs per trig is there.
Could this thing be plugged in directly to your DAW? - It looks like some mad scientist rabbit hole device that someone could dive into for years and still not explore everything it can do!
NO one compares to you: Your tutorials are tremendous. Using this French controller reminds me of the fantastic interview you gave Knarf from 'Les Sondiers' ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zh4Fr4TNLW8.html )
Great video! You're very good at teaching I've been finger drumming on a launchpad and have an issue that if I am performing a fast rudiment, some of the taps may not register because its set up so that if theres a finger currently pressed it doesn't allow registration of another click until its fully released. I have a few questions: 1 You seem to be able to pull off very fast fills without this issue. Can you confirm the erae touch has this setting too? Where if you're clicking on a particular trigger, if it's still held down, then will it prevent a successive click until fully released? I hope not. 2 is it officially supported for drum sticks? Im concerned that It may damage it over time 3 does it have a dynamic note mode like the launchpad does where you can choose the root note and scale on the fly? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2QMaaxgT4_8.html 4 does it have a chord mode where it will dynamically give you chords within that scale? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1VBsfmFdcf0.html 5 Would this work standalone connected to iPad with garageband/logic? 6 I see it has a power io, so it isn't able to be powered by usb c? Thats unfortunate since it significantly reduces the portability of it, given id need to always be near an ac cable or would need a portable battery setup with adapters.
The product looks very cool, but at the same time it's very expensive as for just using it to preview the sounds. Maybe it's the worth money for those who are playing live, but absolutely not the worth for music producers who are just programming the music and all other guys who are not playing live. I hope in a few years such controllers will be more mass and it will cost much cheaper.
Hey Cookoo, I’m a HUGE FAN since you began. I used your code to buy this Embode Touch, but it’s been two weeks now and I’ve got a new updates about shipping. AND, when you go to the website which I should’ve at first and read the Support page, apparently this is an ongoing issue with the company and I wish I knew that ahead of time that they don’t keep their products updated and don’t respond to their customers.
