Wanted to record a quick video for those who are waiting for their Rytm. Just messing around with it... Bandcamp: dataline.bandcamp.com/ Facebook: / project.dataline Soundcloud: / dataline
ain't it so; free improv's can take you out there. Came back after years to find myself zooming in hi-res to play(try) the screen like a real unit. Man, I Love real buttons and knobs! Right?
***** Oh screw you, it's a love for the gear and the sounds they make that you (regardless of whether or not YOU produce music) obviously don't understand, considering you just called him a "fanboy". Once again, screw you...urbanfitness?
Ryan Dunlap Seriously, why can't an established producer be a fanboy? :))))) I don't see a problem with it at all. Besides, Cuckoo is an Elektron fanboy, I am almost sure he will admit it himself. :)))))))) If an established producer is a fanboy, then all the more credit to the unit and the designers. And I'm sure Mr. Dataline had a part in it as well. :)
theeltea Of course he can be both. And sure, all of us electronic producers are nerds in some way or another. I just said it because typically you find people using the term "fanboy" in a derogatory context when someone goes a bit over-the-top in the process of gushing about something, and I didn't find his comment to be "going too far" in the least. The comment was in defense of the man, as I suppose yours is too, so we're all in agreement then! :)
Ok...this is pretty sick. Great demo of you "messing" around so skillfully :) This was a great showcase of the Rytm's abilities - another great video to sway my decision over to this piece of kit. I was originally looking at a Tempest, but I'm loving this more and more.
A picture-in-picture of the LCD, like you did for that other video, was a great idea! I hope you'll do it for the next one. It makes your performance double as tutorial, despite not having narration. Please keep posting.
ironic how we love that subdued muffed kick after working so hard on a loud solid low tone on with a 4k click for real kit growing up. Don't ever let the imagination die ,,,,,
It has just the right amount of tactile sensations, buttons and knobs that I don't need a woman. Well, maybe that's going a bit far. But it is the best drum machine in at least 20 years.
I really like this and I wish there was somewhere I could listen to a released version or something. I was actually looking for drum machines to buy and I stumbled across this excellent demo. Good work.
Of course the AR sounds great. What do you expect? The cool thing about this jam is that it's totally different than what I expected from Dataline, and especially from a drum machine! Maybe that was his point? Regardless, there's no doubt that demos like this will sell more machines since people can now get their minds around the AR being more than just an analogue drum machine.
One question, though: does it always HAVE to be quantized? Wondering if I can get the lights blinking at the BPM (no sound/metronome, just visual), and create live unquantized drum loops? I normally play a Korg PadKontrol for reference, btw, so I have good timing and know my way around pads. Just seems like everything is always forced to be quantized.
Ok dataline, Id bought mine already (arriving Thursday) but now Im super hyped for its arrival, I love the crazy stuff you can do with the start/end points, distortion, filters and FX with simple samples in terms of creating these cool atmospheres & textures. Far more than a drum machine, and sonic experimenters lab in a box. Most Likely my favourite elektron box ever.
Cenk, cok guzel! What a lovely machine, thanks for showing that it can do more than just emulate an xox! Swayed me from buying a tempest! Greetings from australia
I'm trying to stay satisfied with my Octatrack, on it's own, but your video is really swaying me towards the dark side. Beautiful stuff, and I loved watching the workflow. Now I want one :/
Nice demo! Two questions, I'don't know if it is a stupid question, but could you say the Elektron Octatrack is similar to the Elektron Rytm, looking at the functions & possibilities ? I want to buy one but don;t know for sure wich is the best choice! Is it possible to cut and slice samples with the Elektron Rytm? (Like for example you can do with the Akai MPC 2000 xl) Thanx
I own Octatrack and AK , happy with these and I thought that I DO NOT need any gear, anymore, not now, not in the distant future. Until I saw this video. Crap.
Hi ! Are these sounds from the original MKII ? or did you export load samples on it >? ( I am asking because I am thining of buying the MKII and not in the mood to export / load or Sample anything , i want an intiutive machine that has all the sounds already embedded ) > :)
I own one of this as well an Octatrack, very happy with the Rytm in creativity cuestions, as well with the Octatrack, almost no need of computer to do a 4 hours of impro unless you want to record it. My only concern are the HT and OH sound of the Rytm not so good to me. and the AD/DA conversion on the Octatrack or the sound result of the samples at the output. If someone knows a way to improve or upgrade the Octatrack output or AD/DA it would be good to me. Don´t know if Elektron can do the upgrade as well more individual outputs would be better on the Octatrack. i know the price will goes up, but... the sound also will be much better. the EMU ESI 4000 sound a lot better with the same samples. Don´t be fooled old samplers used to use great converters, no matter if they only works at 16 bits 44.100 Hz´s they sound just great. Don´t know why. I own both machine and i can compare them side by side.
Probably the biggest Elektron master's. I don't like the masterbatory usage of machines like you would see with a vinyl scratch DJs showing off mad skills. This guy just writes great music and is a master of these machines.
Hello !! I'm impressed by this machine and the demo.. but I wonder : how about the bass ? And particularly the dub bass ??!!! Finaly : could this machine make nice Elektro Dub ? :)
