A Different Drum

Analog Rytm MKII is an analog/digital beat making dream machine. Everything - from the state of the art aluminium enclosure, via the large pads, to the new quick performance controls - is a direct result of the quest for rhythmical excellence. And now you can sample with it too. What really sets the Analog Rytm MKII apart is the analog sound. It has a magic character. The depth of the kick drums, the bite of the snare drums, those cavernous toms, the airy shimmer of the hihats. Fine-tune the sounds to your liking and get working. When you've got your drums ready, record them to the sequencer and play them back. Do it using the pads, or perform detailed programming on the sequencer steps. Really meticulous or totally spontaneous: it's up to you. For ultimate creative versatility you can layer samples on top of the analog drum sounds. Capture your own sounds, or use pre-recorded material, to make your beats as smooth, as rough, as realistic or as fantastic as you'd like. The perfect unity of analog percussion and sampling simply goes beyond.
