Very helpful video... Recently purchased a Rytm.. I was perplexed about the Env design and meaning to check the manual about this. This video came in at the perfect time. Thanks my friend! :D
Thanks :) happy I could save you some frustration!The rytm is an amazing machine but few things are not user friendly…like this AHD stuff, makes no sense to me eheh
I also just purchased AR during the holiday sale. Long time DAW user but new to the Elektron world and Groovebox’s in general. I’ve watched alot of videos on this box but everything is so fragmented. Gonna check out more videos on this channel for sure when I’m in front of my machine. Thank you for your efforts on making your content
Attack is the time from a amplitude of 0 (or max) to max amplitude when key is pressed. Hold is the amplitude level the sound is held intil release. Decay is time it takes to decay from a sustain level to a amplitude of 0 when key is released.
What you say is correct, but there are two important caveats/details that I mention in the video, that make people go crazy 😅 And that is if you set a hold value (or you hold the sound) for a time smaller than the attack time, the sound will not reach max level and start decaying earlier. In addition, if the env does not reset at every trigger, one can get unexpected behaviours but it all makes sense (or not ahahah) once one has these caveats in mind.
It determines the amount of time that the note will be ‘pressed’ by the sequencer. So if you set it to a short value is equivalent to pressing a pad and releasing it shortly after in auto mode. If you set it to a large value is equivalent to keep the pad pressed for longer before releasing it in auto mode. Does this answer your Q?
Also wondering why, given that the analog tracks of the Syntakt have both AHD and ADSR! So it must not be a hardware/electronic constraint or something.

@@solarj any idea why this is the case? Always thought the Syntakt and Rytm shared similar analog engines! 😅

Wish there was an A-Z bible for this box so complicated
@@jeremystorm3902 there is; RTFM & Elektronauts forums! 😁
Helpful! I was always annoyed by this amp envelope behavior.
I still come back to watch this most nights.
Attack is the time from a amplitude of 0 (or max) to max amplitude when key is pressed. Hold is the amplitude level the sound is held intil release. Decay is time it takes to decay from a sustain level to a amplitude of 0 when key is released.

Whoa, that's nuts the Rytm doesn't have that IMO.
It's a drum machine primarily - so the original choice makes sense - they want you to buy their other synths if you want more synthy voice features :)
Man, I've just found your channel
Really informative, thank you!
@@Pastryarchy happy to hear :)
Well explained! Thank you!
Lovely work on this Sol !
Thanks mate :)
Omg, thx you, bro!
You're welcome!
moving fusion thunderball... enjoy :)
thank you! :D
Nice one!
What does the trigger length do when the evenlope is not on auto?

they almost did an ADHD envelope x)
😁
The one thing I still don’t understand is why did Elektron make the AR amp envelope like this? There must be some reason… but it’s so frustrating
Also wondering why, given that the analog tracks of the Syntakt have both AHD and ADSR!
So it must not be a hardware/electronic constraint or something.
I hope it gets retrigger mode in an update. This makes no sense for a drum machine!
I knooow, specially if they tease you by adding such cool mono synths sounds machines like the one they added with the 1.7 update..!
👋
Oooooh maaaan I thought I was just a fuckup
Well…I mean I might be but this helps😊
ahah I don't know about you but the AHD envelop is a major fuxxup from elektron imho
