my favorite thing about elektron gear is that once you learn one, learning others goes way faster bc of the constant similarities. Like how every sequencer essentially operates the same way.
I was very tentative because people kept talking about the Elektron workflow as a "learning curve". UTTER NONSENSE. It's not a learning curve, it's an opportunity curve with endless possibilities. Really glad I took the dive!
agree and makes life easier to be more productive as well. Octatrack is the most difficult Elektron box to learn but powerful and the Rytm is easy to learn and Analog Heat a piece of cake.
@@kesnielchan8082 get the Digitakt first mate. It's an awesome all-in-one machine for it's money. Then later save up for the Digitone or something else. 😉 Also take a look at Korg Minilogue XD if you want an awesome and affordable synthesizer. Just received the Analog Rytm MKII myself yesterday. Anyways what's more important is that you get started. 👍
I bought an analog rytm mk2 black 3 days ago, and I cannot stress enough how over the moon happy I am to have a loopop tutorial on this device to refer to
@@loopop Could be a soundtrack for a crime series or thriller. Possibly new or nu black noir. I think these companies should pay you for making 10-30 min videos where you play something of your own liking with them. Maybe for a separate chanel. Just my wish anyway.
I’ve had mine for the 9 months and I’ve done almost nothing with it ! I really planned on performing with it, but the year turned out shit for gigs and venues 💀 Got me inspired to play with it again, thanks for the tutorial ! 🤟🏾
if stuff ever opens up again in clubs for open mic sessions it would make sense to pick a Rytm up. Instance dance music creation. But I already have 2 Elektrons that can handle beat making and lots of modular stuff.
You are an absolute natural in every aspect! Sound, demonstration, musically, and so concise in your reviews and explanations! Another awesome video, Ziv!
I've watched this video a few times now, as I have with a few of your other videos. I've had a Rytm for about a year and I enjoy it but your videos have that rare ability to be musically inspiring but also deeply informative. Well done, again.
Man, the thing about elektron boxes is that no matter how long the demo or how many you watch, there is always more to discover. Great job breaking down all the data structures for the voices, I definitely learned something.
Just bought this model and upgraded from the MK1. I'm loving the new features but the old ones are just as good. Noticing different sound and just better at modern sounding clean noises. Elektron always makes the best drum machines in my opinion and I've really latched onto these. I use this in my every day... all day.... It's the workhorse that we need in the studio.
I wish you would have made this video 3 month ago, it would have saved me some times learning the machine haha ! That jam remind me a lot an artist I loved called Rone , superb !
I appreciate seeing you review this, though I think the Rytm is a tough instrument for you to cover in your typical format, mostly because of how deep it is. I’ve spent years with the Rytm and only recently decided to dedicate myself to mastering the analog drum circuits. They are extremely capable of reproducing many analog sounds, particularly when skillfully combined with the filter, overdrive and LFO for modulation. Given where I’m currently at I feel like you kind of glossed over this machines analog drum capabilities, which is a shame, because I actually think that is where it really shines. Its dual VCA synth capabilities are one of my least favorite aspects, yet they always seem highly attractive to new users.
I've owned a mkii for a few years now, but damn this walkthrough is incredibly refreshing as I often stuck in the rytm (hehe) of NOT utilizing a majority of the powerful features that make this machine special. Thank you thank you loopop!
Similar story here. I've had a Digitakt for years, but I find I almost never use most of its features. They're kind of neat to have, but typically aren't what I need. Most of what I want is to lay down a rhythm quickly, adjust the timbres to fit the song, and then record it and a few variations into my DAW. Elektron devices can certainly do those things, and a whole lot more... but I often get the feeling, while I'm scrolling through sounds or manually copying settings between patterns, that I could probably get the same things done faster and easier with a cheaper device. The extra features end up slowing me down. Like, I can't just sit down, create a new project, and start making beats. The workflow requires me to spend a bunch of time building a drum kit first, which is not what I want to be doing at the time. I can't just lay down some beats and then scroll through kits later to find one which fits. It doesn't even have a concept of kits. Then later, after making a bunch of patterns, if I want to adjust my kit... it has to be adjusted manually for each sound in each pattern. So I've been thinking about selling it and replacing it with a Drumbrute or something. I'd lose a bunch of features, but I mostly don't use those features anyway, and it would speed up my core workflow.
@@ToyKeeper I mean if you aren't enjoying the workflow, just get another drum machine/sampler when you get the chance. No reason to sit here and be disappointed about your hardware! It should be fun :)
@@ToyKeeperI'm a 100% with you there. Elektrons are much too deep for my workflow, and each time I try one (except maybe for the Model Samples & Cycles). I find myself disturbed and lost by all the possibilities.. It's counter benefic for me to play music on these, instead I scroll everywhere, try stuff, get lost, loose the creative vibe.. One of the best sketch pad in the recent offers is the Roland JDXi.. Well, I would like it to be a bit more in depth to be honest..If Roland could make an upgraded JDXi, I'd be interested
@@ToyKeeper oh thanks for the reply. Interesting. Can you build patterns and tweak parts typically like a Groovebox? I'm searching for that old school vibe you had on the first Roland and Korg Grooveboxes. And I must say I don't like the Elektron sound, too hifi European techno for me.. A mix of cold and high end (opposed to lofi) that to my ears is more for landscape robotic stuff
Awesome jam, boss!!! The Rytm is my personal fav drum machine, I have an MK1 and I like the way Elektron update the firmware for both the MK1 and MK2. Elektron and maybe Novation, are very good at keeping their existing customers happy, it certainly garners brand loyalty. Having said that I'm not sure I would want to spend the extra at this point to get sampling (I use an OctaTrack for that, which I bought after my experience using the Rytm). I do feel that the black edition is possibly a swan song, and that something new and shiny is in the pipeline.
it sounds great and easiest Elektron to get a beat going. Borrowed a friend's Rytm MK2 and love it but I already have tons of modular drums and other Elektron gear.
You say you won't talk about a feature because it's well covered elsewhere on TH-cam, but ever since I discovered your channel, I just stopped watching any other reviews! Your style is just the best! No time-wasting, straight to the point, very smart!
If every musical hardware reviews out there managed to reach only 20% (let's keep it reasonable) of Loopop's reviews quality, the world would be a much nicer place to live. One of the most comprehensive, clever, beautifully-presented, user-friendly, honest, and simple breakdown of Elektron's rather complicated workflow I've ever seen online (even if Rytm isn't pronounced with Swedish accent :). God Bless You, your hands, your voice, and your camera. You're a gift to any musician.
I was literally contemplating picking up a rytm a few days ago to replace my MPC 2500 (i prefer the elektron sequencer) and now there's this. you read my mind Loopop!
you deserve at least 2 milion subscribers. Your channel delivers the most complete reviews on music gear. Keep up the good work and keep up with the good reviews !
finally bought an excellent condition one off reverb for little over $1k. feels really great not paying full price for one. excited to dive deep into it!
This is the first piece of gear that I've owned that has me totally stumped at times. Thanks for all the help with the sequencer functions. The manual for the machine is not very useful honestly when it comes to the little tricks of piecing together complex sequences. Your video is a huge help! Now I just have to watch it about 10 times...
That intro song made me immediately check description, discover your bandcamp and continue with vid later LOL I hope we get to enjoy a complete version of it.
Thanks very much! Yes, I plan to add it to my next album hopefully coming out late Feb/early March - thanks! It will be more or less the performance at the end of this video but spiced up with a bit of mastering...
I got my hands on one of these a good couple of months back, I’m still a learner as in a noobee thanks for your wicked, well explained and easy to follow reviews and examples, thanks again I always get a lot from your videos especially with gear I got but this Mach I love so really enjoyed and understand this a lot better❤
I recently picked up one of these from The Moog Store in Asheville. It’s very immediate, it sounds incredible, and it feels bombproof (I’ve encountered instruments twice the price that don’t feel nearly as solid). I’ll be discovering the depths of this thing for years to come.
I’m still learning new tricks on this thing. One pro and maybe con... it is super performative, so if you want to get the most out of it, you’ll have to practice and get some muscle memory going!
Your tutorials always shine light on tips and functions that would easily otherwise remain uncovered for me. Thank you so much, also very cool intro jam!! I´m gonna go and fine tune my cowbell now.
I would be much happier with mine if I could zoom in the sample view, the same way you could zoom with the Octatrack. That would allow you to get right down to a single cycle wave form very easily. Don't understand why they wouldn't have done that right from the start. Great review as always. I already know all this information but, still enjoyed watching.
i love the idea of having this machine. the sampling abilities are just enough to make it fun and interesting plus theres all the synth stuff it can do. however i keep thinking a new Octatrack will come out, or at least, Elektrons next new sampling powerhouse. just a feeling i got :P i do own the original OT so i'm not too fussed on the updated MK2. and i'm sure we all want an Octatrack like machine with full Overbridge support, that has to be the next step.
I have some drumashines Yomox,Arturia,NI,Vermona,Roland ,but under all is Elektron the best of the best. And the best way to learn are the Turtorial from ouer Friend of this Turorial .He is the best and i have learn alot many thanks my friend for you,re work..
i was so close to an mk2 today, but you know what i think im gonna stick with the mk1 for now. its basically an mk1 with better buttons and a couple of extra functions, better screen. personally i dont tihnk its worth it for the price compared to prices of mk1s second hand.
Bought a new Rytm MK2 this week after spending time using a friend's and my favorite drum synth so far and easy to get great tracks built. I love modular drums but the workflow is hard to beat and drum pads nice touch. Good holiday sale helped me choose over Perkons that costs more and does less. Agree the sampler is ok but I have a Roland SP 404 MK2 and Elektron Octatrack for those tasks. I would sample modular drums into the Rytm and save need to haul cases of gear to a gig. This Rytm and an SP 404 can do shows with ease.
It’s nice to have a channel doing such a good content. I’m trying to figure out what is better for me. An Analog Rytm mkt 2 or the digitakt + the syntak. I need one or the other to create my own drum samples in the studio.. I work a lot with sound design and in the DAW I usually use synth and sample layers to make my own drum sounds. When I say digitakt + syntak it’s because I’m thinking about syncing the MIDI of the two devices and layering the synth (of syntak) with samples (of the digitakt). Example: in digitakt a clap sample and in the syntak a synth model clap. I’m trying to figure out which choice has more sound design power. In the Analog Rytm mkt 2 I can resample… but in the digitakt + syntak it looks like there is a bigger range of sounds for me to tweak and experiment with. What would be your suggestion? Thank you!
Thank you for review. I don't have to much money for Machinedrum UW, but have mk1 and they seems to be together badass twins :-)), mean Machinedrum and Rytm 2. Keep well and best wishes Loopop!
ive honestly been in this "lets see what else is coming out" game for a year now, ill tell you what i think is the decisive selling point for me, nothing else will have "the Elektron Sequencer" .. ..
Machinedrum, Monomachine, Octatrack, Analog Four and Analog Rytm...all machines are over 10 years old (or very near to it) and IMO nobody has gotten close to topping the capabilities, immediacy of these wonderful boxes. Rytm is STILL the best drum machine on the market!
I love that Elektron is a company that keeps supporting their old gear, I own a mk1 and having constant updates is heartwarming everytime
That's what I expect, when I buy a drum computer for 1600 €
@@devawer You can get MK1's for 800e now ;-)

I am sold on Elektron gear. Gonna get them all. Got the Digitone and Digitakt, will get those 3 black flagships for sure in short term.
Same situation, i cant decide between Digitone or Digitkt? I kinda wanna try one first instead of buying two at one time.

It’s nice to have a channel doing such a good content.
I’m trying to figure out what is better for me. An Analog Rytm mkt 2 or the digitakt + the syntak.
I need one or the other to create my own drum samples in the studio.. I work a lot with sound design and in the DAW I usually use synth and sample layers to make my own drum sounds.
When I say digitakt + syntak it’s because I’m thinking about syncing the MIDI of the two devices and layering the synth (of syntak) with samples (of the digitakt). Example: in digitakt a clap sample and in the syntak a synth model clap.
I’m trying to figure out which choice has more sound design power.
In the Analog Rytm mkt 2 I can resample… but in the digitakt + syntak it looks like there is a bigger range of sounds for me to tweak and experiment with.
What would be your suggestion?
Thank you!
Exactly what I've been looking for...a sample-based rhythm creator and sequencer with full mangulation capabilities... Thanks... ☺️
The outro oh my! ❤
In love with this machine, in love with that channel, soon in love with your book

Thank you for review. I don't have to much money for Machinedrum UW, but have mk1 and they seems to be together badass twins :-)), mean Machinedrum and Rytm 2.
Keep well and best wishes Loopop!
That intro sounds mental
Was that tune in the beginning your own original work? It's so good it could be the intro of a TV show or a movie!
Thanks! Yes, my original track
Damn. That intro beat SLAPS!
💪🏽🤘🏽
Awesome review as always keep up the good work
“Look at Marvin Gaye. He made a huge hit that way and he apparently healed” 😂

“And get rhythmic healing” lol
@@AppAxis also jan 26th my grandmother's birthday
@@fortheloveofnoise gotta love it! #FriendlyTH-camCommunity
😃‼️
That track is soooooo tight. I come back for it again and again.
Its the other sweet extreme to anything Cynk might perform on an Elektron machine.
Thanks very much that's a huge compliment :) BTW it's the first track on my album LOOPOP2
Great video again! Best after work content to relax, learn something new and enjoy :)
Hi loopop🎶🎹thx 4 giving us great choices when choosing electronica...
I was waiting for this video for so long
I've been trying to find one of these in stock anywhere for months. Now it's just gonna be that much harder. The loopop effect 😅
Reverb has a few.
Check Zzounds and AmericanMusicalSupply. Got both the A4 black and RYTM Mk2 black from Zzounds a few months ago.
Its so beautiful in black. Lets see what the Kord Drumlogue has to offer before I pull the trigger.
ive honestly been in this "lets see what else is coming out" game for a year now, ill tell you what i think is the decisive selling point for me, nothing else will have "the Elektron Sequencer" .. ..
Awesome. I have never used an Elektron instrument but the sequencer always get rave reviews. But yeh I may just get the AR.
you can also lock the perfomance mode value by pressing RTRG (same way you solo tracks in mute mode)
I needed this video. So much...
Excellent review/breakdown. 💪
Superb review as always!
Machinedrum, Monomachine, Octatrack, Analog Four and Analog Rytm...all machines are over 10 years old (or very near to it) and IMO nobody has gotten close to topping the capabilities, immediacy of these wonderful boxes. Rytm is STILL the best drum machine on the market!
that little job at Bo makes me lol every time
actually I called him to make sure I got it right
@@loopop yeah you totally nailed it! keep up the awesome work with both the impressions and the videos!
Awesome overview.. love your style!
That sample at minute 14 made think of Board Of Canada
Ya for real that track is off the hook!!!!! Couldn't help closing my eyes on that one!!!!
Mission accomplished!
