A new Operating System is now available for download for the Elektron Analog Rytm! This new OS includes 2 new machines,"BDFM (Bass drum FM) and SDFM (Snare drum FM) are based on linear FM synthesis and endow the Analog Rytm with even more sonic possibilities. "
Mr.Dataline showing off the hotly anticipated Elektron Analog Rytm Drum Machine in performance mode:
"Synthesis and Samples are used in this demo. Wanted to focus on the Performance Mode during this composition. This mode allows you to assign parameters from any tracks to the pads and manipulate them with pressure!"
Another January and another NAMM event has been unleashed upon Anaheim. This year Roland teased us with a new Aria line that supposedly resurrects many old faves like the TR-808 and SH-101 in new gear. They didn't show this at NAMM, so we're left wondering if it's just another Jupiter-80 tease. Meanwhile Moog unveiled their new Sub 37 synthesizer, which is essentially the Sub Phatty with more knobs and the ability to play two notes at a time. Not sure why you'd want two notes though? All my favorite chords have at least four notes in them :-). What interested me most at NAMM this year is from Elektron, the Rytm Drum Machine, check out this performance courtesy of DJ Tech Tools:
And speaking of Aria, a new teaser video:
What excited you this year at NAMM?
This is awesome:
"Ladies and gentlemen - we are incredibly proud to present our latest machine. We give you: Analog Rytm.
It is an an eight voice analog drum machine with sample support. Distinguished by the power of analog drum sounds fused with samples. Perfected by the immediacy of drum pads coupled with the Elektron sequencing."
Swedish instrument manufacturer Elektron have been teasing the world about a new instrument for what seems like months. Today they unveiled a new addition to the family:
Elektron has released info on their new Analog Keys synthesizer based on the fantastic Analog Four!
"The 100% analog signal path of the four synth voices has been designed for providing a best-in-class analog sound. Two analog oscillators, two sub oscillators, dual analog filters and an analog overdrive circuit per voice provide that inimitable and organic sound. The power is striking."
The Elektron Analog Four Voice Synthesizer is one of the best deals around - 4 tracks of analog synthesis, Elektron's killer sequencer with param-locks, and a lovely sounding reverb all housed in a table top synth!
"In this session, all audio is routed through the Octatrack. Analog Four's output goes into Octatrack's input CD and Machinedrum's output goes into input AB. Also, Monomachine is being fed through the Machinedrum to add some Distortion and Sample Rate Reducer.
Most of the beat is made up on the Machinedrum with some additional Loops from Octatrack. Monomachine is making trippy synth sounds and some glitchy hihat sequence towards to end. Analog Four takes care of all the Bass, Lead and other squelchy synth sounds!"
Been awhile since we've posted a Gattobus video on RF, and this latest one is the perfect piece to get reacquainted with his work! Featuring a lust-worthy Eurorack Modular synth with Elektron's Machinedrum and Monomachine, this video is sure to give you G.A.S. (gear acquiring syndrome.)
Mr.Dataline pairs the MS20 mini with an Elektron Analog Four, a match made in heaven:
"There are 5 improvisation sessions in this video using this setup.
Analog Four is sending out CV sequence for pitch tracking, low pass filter and high pass filter on the MS20 mini. The output of the MS20 is then fed through the Analog Four's input using Filters, Overdrive and Digital effects. With this setting, the MS20 mini can be taken lot further by sequencing and adding automation to parameters. And when the Analog Four's Filters and Digital FX are added...well, its fun :) Using the Analog Four's extreme LFOs on MS20 Mini's filters results in some very interesting sounds which are not possible on the MS20 mini itself.
Track 1 is used for Analog four's input processing MS20. It also triggers the CV track controlling MS20's Pitch.
Track 2 is used for Kick
Track 3 is set for HiHats and Snares
Track 4 is used for Additional Analog Four synthesis."
Jimmy Myhrman with a live Dub Techno jam featuring an Elektron Analog Four and OctaTrack:
"Live improv dub techno with Analog Four and Octatrack. OT plays drums, AF does everything else (including FX)."
The more sounds I hear from the coming Elektron Analog Four, the more I think I'll need one:
Elektron have a brand new analog synth available for pre order, complete with the sequencing and parameter lock functions that made the Machinedrum world famous! The Elektron Analog Four starts shipping on December 3rd, sells for $1149, and sounds awesome:
"Scanning through a selection of sounds created in Twisted Tools excellent S-Layer. Time flew by while recording and ended up with a 50min video in which I edited it down. I created the sounds using the included sound bank. I'm using an Elektron Machinedrum to trigger the scenes and program changes as well as a few parameter locks on certain midi cc's. In the short time I've been using S-Layer I have come up with an astonishing amount of material to use in projects and is a lot of fun."
