Wow, interesting! I know I have been thinking about that, wondering if people noticed it.

But you did get less horizontal lines in the US, so the resolution wasn’t as good. Switching between ntsc and pal on a gaming monitor was fun, because of the timing difference

Ah, that is actually correct even if I didn't know that it was also in Dead Zone (1987)! The first game it was included in was Bomb Jack (1986, where this arrangement comes from).

Good to see some older dudes on the channel who had c64 and atari back in the days ;]

Thanks! Happy you liked it!

Hehe, we'll see what happens in a future video :)

Thanks a lot! Yeah, it turned out to be a little SID-cousin :) Congrats to you, have fun!

Happy you liked it! Yeah, time to use the Rytm again then - it is almost a new instrument in some ways.

Thanks a lot! And you are absolutely right, congrats! :)

YAY!!! @@tubesockor

Thanks! Yup, more will come. At some random point...

You’re welcome! :)

Thank you! Always fun when people appreciate the stuff!

Thank you! Always nice to be able to convert someone to this side :)

Thanks a lot! Yes, it can appear as a complex machine at first so could be good to explain a bit on how to make sounds with it.

The other ones are pretty similar to whats already.. more like variations of existing engines. This ones very cool though

Thanks! Never know what comes in the future, but I recommend Elektron's official videos on them.

Happy you liked it, thanks!

Thanks! Yes, it is quite useful :)

Nothing beats a real SID in being a SID though (well, two does) ofcourse, but this one is a fun way of getting a similar sound! And thanks!

Great that you liked it, thanks!

Was fun :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Happy to hear! Yes, being forced to only three channels shaped a lot of creativity!

Yeah, it is a pretty fun machine! Combining with an ST is not bad - you will have more channels, samples, and performance pads etc...

Oh.. I forgot... game is Bomb Jack of course!!

Thanks a lot! If you like C64 I think you might find more things you like on the channel :) And, yes you are totally right!

Thank you! :)

Happy you liked it!

Thanks! I hope I could give some insight here.

He literally works for elektron lol

Thank you! Yes, I work for Elektron so we'll see about sound packs. Maybe :) I will do more videos for sure!

@@tubesockor ha, didn't know you work for Elektron.. i guess that's why you have a lot of knowledge about this lol Demo tunes sound great!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks :)

Thanks!

Thanks! :)

Hehe thanks!

Yay, thanks!

Haha, don't know about that - but happy you liked it!

lol now i read in the comments you work for elektron. so i hope we see a soundpack at some point

Thanks for kind words! Yeah, we’ll see if a sound pack happens :)

Ja, det är en mycket bra maskin, gillar den skarpt!

No worries, I’m back working for Elektron. This machine, for instance :)

@@tubesockor Congrats! Good to hear man! 🤘Enjoy

Yep, classic tune! Thanks

Thank you, happy you liked it. The song is a cover of an existing C64 track by Mutetus, and called ”Only 299.99”. Easiest way to find it is go go to the site deepsid.chordian.net and search for the song. Then you will have the original, which is also much longer :) I might complete my version some time too, who knows!

Thanks! Never heard that tune before (until now) - was great!

Depends, as always :) Rytm is most in-depth I would say, since you have analog drum synthesis topped with samples and some slight digital additions as well. Digitone is most in-depth for FM synthesis. And in the middle you have Syntakt, with both analog drum synthesis as well as some digital drum synthesis. So, if you need samples - I would go with Rytm, otherwise Syntakt.

@@tubesockor thanks for the response! I think syntakt is the choice as I’m not concerned with sampling. definitely learned a lot of history watching this! One more question, do you know of any relatively affordable limiting/soft clipping solutions for hardware? Everything I’ve seen is either a colored distortion pedal with an eq curve or a multi thousand dollar limiter. Wish the heat +fx could re arrange the analog circuits so I can use the clean boost to clip signals. Cheers

Depends on the sound you want I guess. I would go with a Heat since I use it from time to time but I assume there are cheaper units with much more limited (pun not intended) functions that would fit as well.

@@tubesockor so a second heat then I guess. Please give us a limiter, elektron. Lol

if you want the most wide open toolkit of analog sound design that elektron has to offer, get Analog Four. I dont use it as a straight up drum machine but i use it to make drum sounds that i then sample on my sp-404. Analog Four can make drum sounds and so much more. Rytm is a more focused machine which has been given some nifty additions over the years so its more than just a drum machine at this point. i have rytm mki and Four mkii and they're my favorite gear

Thanks! Well, I guess because it contains a lot of both analog & digital hardware plus pads and multiple outputs etc :) But you can get a used Mk1:s for quite a lot less. This machine (and most things from 1.70) is applicable on that one too.

Buy a 2nd hand mk1 & save yourself up to 2/3rds of the $ on a new mk2 price. Don't worry about the mk2's more integrated sampler engine side of the mk2, compared to the mk1... Cause if u find a mk1 cheap, u simply will have likely saved the $ to also buy a new or 2nd hand Digitakt... The mk1 & mk2 are exactly the same analogue drum synthesis machines & sound engine as each other... The mk2 has slightly better improvements for the choices of i/o pre amps to fit on them by the time they did mk2 & Digi boxes. So the mk2 Rytm is probably I'm guessing about 3-4db louder and has that improvement in the s/n & dynamic range. But there is nothing worth fussing about for the quality of the specs of any cheap poor i/o pre's used at the mk1 era of Elektron development anyway. U will get more out of owning a mk1 & pairing it with a Digitakt... The Rytm mk1 is the only mk1 I own, & I have every Elektron besides a Machinedrum. But I don't care or lust for chasing after a mk2 at all... If u look into this info yourself about mk1 & mk2's. Hopefully you'll find ya Rytm & have a better understanding of what u can pay... & not wait longer than u may do saving up much more for the new mk2... If u really can make do on the actual small differences of having a bit less of the mk2's improvements of the sampling side of the new ones.

Thanks! Yep, I do!

@@tubesockor nice that they hire professional fingerdrummers ;)

Haha :)

Thanks! The official Analog Rytm manual describes the main features of each parameter in SY CHIP - but if you need it more detailed, it would be this video :)

Of course - for several reasons :) Nothing beats a real SID (sometimes not even another SID, since they might sound very different from each other), but also because SY CHIP is not trying to be a SID emulation, it is just very inspired by those techniques used when making arps & chip tune sounds from that era. Then it is possible to get it to sound quite similar, but it is not intended to be a replica. The frame-by-frame wave tables is what exists in some of the selectable waveforms. I try to explain them all in the video including how to practically use them in some drum sounds.

​@@tubesockor To me the set of features looks like it tries to be a SID emulation, and it certainly isn't an AY. :) Maybe they tried but couldn't get it good enough so they called it "AY". I've been listening to chiptunes and making my own ones for decades, and nowadays I can't stand almost any AY stuff, it is just too harsh. But I never get tired of SID tunes.

Ah sorry, no points for that one :)

Not really sure what to answer - but take a look at the video again, I hope it should clear things out :)

They cant :(

From the Elektron official account's posts: We know an extra LFO was a much-hoped-for feature addition (for all of us!), but unfortunately it is not currently feasible due to hardware limitations. It wasn’t for want of trying, and we’ll keep searching for a solution, but we trust that this OS will bring a ton of fun to all Analog Rytm owners - both MKI and MKII. Enjoy! /The Elektron Team

@@tubesockor no problem we can always use sample wavforms lfos ;)
