🎛️ Gear in this video
- Analog Rytm MKII - [US bit.ly/3InA2BU] [EU bit.ly/3kshMz7]
In this video I make techno music on "just" one drum machine - Elektron Analog Rytm. It is the Best Drum Machine ever! I ended up creating 2 different techno tracks at 142 bpm and they are weird/good enough to share.
I used analog kick drum, hat, clap, tom, snare, dual vco. I also used some synth samples, lots of overdrive, distortion, reverb, delay and compressor. Elektron Workflow and Sequencer are so amazing for a Dawless Techno Jam.

🌍 Hello World! My name is Ihor.
This is my channel where I share my experiences, ideas, reviews and tutorials related to Electronic Music Production. I focus mostly on Techno and House music. In my Studio on my Music Production Desk you will find a variety of different gear like: digital and analog synth, eurorack modular, drum machine, sampler, effect, mixer, guitar pedal, MIDI controller. Also software: DAW, Ableton, VST, plugins.
I am myself an engineer and I am quite obsessed with the Music Technology and Sound Design. I like making music without a computer. I like playing Electronic Music Live with my Minimal Dawless Setup. I love Eurorack Modular Techno and always keen to talk about the modular workflow.
I strongly believe that nothing can be better than a good Dawless Techno Jam!
I watched all the Techno Tutorials on UA-cam! (I think)
📺 Thanks for watching! And have fun!
✌️ Peace.
#Techno #Rytm #Beats
Wow. You play it like you invented it. Impressive. I'll probably buy one just because of this video. Great job.
Thank you!
This is what I needed to see someone do. Super inspiring, dude. Thank you
Nice!
another great video! really love your content...looking forward to seeing more from you
Thank you for your videos man! Awesome jam
AMAZING! Your workflow is on another level man!
Thanks man! I appreciate it! Glad you liked my video! ✌️
this is fun ..love watching and listening your analog rytm jams
Thanks! ✌️
So dope. Love this channel.
Nice work Ihor, great jam!
Thanks! Glad you liked it man! ✌️
very nice man!
Love to see You going here on the Rytm. It demonstrates the fun of this device
just discovered this channel... seems to be full of techno on elektron gear, right up my alley! well done!
Thank you, Nathaniel! ✌️
Awesome dude 👍
Excellent !
Nice one!! 🙌
For some reason I never really discovered the sampling section on mine...
This is so very inspiring! I'd love to see more videos on the Analog Rytm! Keep it up!
Hah! Sampling on AR is fun! Especially the fact that you can layer analog voice with a sample on the same track!
Thank you for kicking in! ✌️
That's what I was thinking when watching this video as well - I got the (OG) EAR mainly as an analogue drum synth, then started to enjoy its sequencer...samples are next. Thanks, Ihor!
super dope! Love your don't overthink too much approach! keep going!
Thanks! ✌️
So amazing!!! I Totally love it!!!
Thank you Javier! I appreciate it! ✌️
Good job bud! Like it a lot.
these are great vids, i have an octa and rytm, in the boxes as I couldnt get used to them, i just bought a digitakt, and now I understand a whole lot more, but with your vids im getting the others out of the box to try again! thanks for the inspiration
Nice! Glad my videos inspire you, Dean! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, Ihor.
Holy Moly
One small machine, that makes insane techno, I love it man. I subbed your channel so cool to watch 😃
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Love my Rytm Mk2!! Even being 5yrs old it is still one of the best options out there. While not perfect (what is) it checks so many boxes and the abilty to use samples and analog sounds together is very powerful. Overbridge is a bonus. Highly recommended and worth the premium. Amazing work as always on the tracks. Sounds amazing!!
Yes, fully agree with you! Rytm is definitely one of the best out there!
Great video! Thanks!!
Track #2 is a monster! 🔥
Yo! Thanks! ✌️
the famous 142 mood :D
that reverb sounds pretty great out of box (on my laptop speakers anyway). another awesome video , dude
Very fun to watch and very sick sounding
Thank you Josh!
Subscribed! More Rytm vids pls :)
Brilliant, thank you! Wouldn't mind another track from scratch thing on rytm, I don't think you exhausted the well with this video. (:
What a fascinating machine, wouldn't mind if you discuss performing on it live at some point.
I am just touching the surface of the Rytm, I think! More to come!
I love the videos with this machine
Wizardry… thanks for the inspo! Just got one and I’m excited
Have fun!
This was a great video, I'm studying the analog rytm heavily to decide if I should sell several pieces to get it. It's so lovely in your hands =-)
ok ok, yea i get it.... i gonna buy one tomorrow ^^
very cool techniques...never used the overdrive that hard, before 😁..great work !
Thanks!
Very very nice! Thanks...
Thank you!
Thank you !
U have an amazing studio and setup
Thanks!
Monstrous😂
niceeee!!!!
subbed :-)
Nice! ✌️Thanks for subbing! I appreciate you here!
love that manipulated sample that sounds like a bunch of frogs (the one that is still there at the very end of the vid)
Haha! It does sound like frogs!
Best rytm mk2 video made
I just found your channel last week. Every track you make in these videos is absolute fire. Please put some of these newer technoier tracks up on your Bandcamp, will gladly buy, thanks.
Nevermind, just realized they're on your SoundCloud :)
Nice
Man this tutorial was great. I don’t have the Rytm, I have the Octatrack and the Analog Four and it was worth watching. Cheers 🍻 from Madrid at 40 degrees.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! Cheers from Malaga! Here on vacation 👍
vibez
Cool. Just push poti knobs while turning to do BIG volume jumps ✌️
The Rytm is a great drum synth machine. Had a short round trip. Sold my Rytm a year ago, had an Alpha Base, and went back to Rytm. Will never again sell it. The color change had cost me 600€ 🤣🤣🤣
That was a pricy color change!
don't own the Analog Rytm (but do Analog-4, Digitakt, Digitone) Nice performance as al way's and really like that panning sound as something evil 🦉flying around you in the night. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Great as always, loved the 2nd track.
What about drums into modular? Using them I'm starting to think that is unconvinient and not really worth... I'm thinking to buy a rytm or a digitakt.
Hey! Glad you liked it.
I thought about the modular drums too. It all depends on the use case perhaps. My main intention was to have analog drums for my future live sets. Having them inside of one Elektron box was just a win win situation for me. I know Elektron workflow really well. Everything is “patched” inside of the Rytm and then it is a matter of simply recalling kits and patterns.
I use modular drum modules so far mostly to create some weird perc loops. And then use them on the OT or DT. Using these modules tho in live situations would be a little hard for me, I think. However I see a lot people do it! Which is incredible and blows my mind to be honest!
Anyway. Thanks for kicking in! ✌️
i just got one of these and your vids have helped me a bunch to learn how the machine works. would you maybe be interested in doing a tutorial for a dnb/jungle songs?
I've been actually exploring the DNB genre lately! I might drop some tutorials one day! Thanks! Noted!
Very inspiring! How long have you been using the Rytm? You seem very much connected to it :)
Thank you! I've been with it for a few weeks now. I think I know it because of the Elektron workflow, which is quite familiar among the different machines.
Ha! I was checking some review about the Rytm. And then I thought, we talked at Voltage Control Amsterdam! :-)
Nice! It was nice there on the VCA. I got so much inspiration from all the artists! Now looking in direction of a bigger performance case haha
@@IhorMedia well just let me know if you are up for a short live Modular sprint. You know where to find me :-)
@@sendepause7164 Sure!
Thanks for your inspiration! I was wondering if Rytm comes w/ factory single cycle waves. I’ve seen the ‘extra’ file which seems to have basses, but wasn’t sure if Rytm did.Thanks for your time.
Thank you for your kind words! Rytm does have Waveforms folder inside factory one with single cycle waveforms!
yeah liked the video at 909
great stuff! I also hear an LFO on the panning here and there, am I correct? beautiful. And could you talk us through the compressor settings you used for this track(s)? or was there no compressor on it? thanks in advance!
Hey man! Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Regarding an LFO on panning you are right, I use it quite a lot. Usually I'd go with either slow triangle, or random with hold. And not too much on depth. Regarding the compressor, I don't remember really. And unfortunately I don't have that project anymore. But as much as I remember I used it quite slightly to glue things up. Nothing too special honestly. For sure I used distortion on the master bus! I love to use it a little bit. Up to 20-24.
@@IhorMedia thank you for the reply! really love the sound. could you perhaps just shortly explain how you generally set the compressor settings (to glue things up)? would be awesome, thanks!
@@tendingtropic7778 I use more or less default attack, release and ratio settings. Set makeup to 0, mix and threshold to max. Then I start slowly bringing threshold back until I start hearing compression kicking in. Then I will bring this threshold a little bit back, because when I hear compression it is already too much for gluing. And this all depends on the loudness of the entire track you created. Distortion adds a lot of loudness for example. So make this compression stage the last one.
Tight. Does the rhythm come with samples?
Thanks! First of all it has analog voices, then can it also playback samples. And yes, there is a bunch of factory samples that comes with it. Not that many tho.
there isvone trick especially useable for techno, psytrance and in general all harder emusic subgenres - fast (1k or 2k) lfo > pan mod.. it adds interesting mixture of stereo spread and rong mid dirtyness to sound - it works literally on everything - bass, leads, even hihats .. i'm literally overusing this effect :-)
Oh dude! I love that trick! Also! Try to param lock the that fast (1k or 2k) LFO Depth. In that way you get some really weird stereo movement.
Another trick! This one is possible on the Digitakt. Drone sound, that is continuously playing, fast LFO1 into pan, and LFO2 a touch into LFO1 Depth. It gets a little clunky at times, but there are some extremely cool sweet spots.
I am overusing LFO > pan so much! You are not alone dude! Pity that you can't multitrack record that into Overbridge.
thanks! at 8.55 you talk about the lfo on the hi hat, but I don't see you putting it on the hihat in the video, could you please explain how you did that?
I think there I was talking about the LFO on the Reverb filter cutoff. I talk about it at 3:31. Since I sent hihat sound into reverb at times its reverb sounds brighter, and at times darker.
Hi Ihor just another daft question but why would you need Digitakt if you have Rytm as seems it can do more, mind u I’m getting Digitakt as Rytm out of my budget
Many thanks your friend from🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🎶🎶🎶🆒🌟
Hey Martin! Thanks for your question.
I got Rytm because I really wanted to have some analog drum kit. Not samples, but actual synths. So the Rytm perfectly covers that part. However I agree that DT and Rytm overlap quite a lot. But there is always "but"! For example DT is way much more powerful when it comes to MIDI and sequencing external gear, or (with recent update) it has mixer and some more capabilities when it comes to playing external audio. On the other hand Rytm can layer a sample with an analog voice on the same track. Or that fact that Rytm has many analog parts (overdrive, filter, distortion, compressor). At the end it is all about the usecase.
Long story short: DT is a must have for me and perhaps it will never go out of my studio, unless it's me taking it with me on vacation or travel. Rytm is more like "I need these analog drums for my techno track" kinda dude.
Hope that answers your question.
All the sounds are in the synth already?
which kick did you end up using at 19:30?
I think I ended up using BD HARD with some distortion.
Wow. I want this machine..unfortunately it seems i would need a fair bit of experience though, no?
Practicing will help ;)
Out of the octatrack and rytm, Do you prefer one over the other?
I really don’t. They are too much different from each other. Rytm is a drum synth, OT is a performance sampler. I’d rather have them both complementing each other.
@@IhorMedia Of your Elektron gear, which do you find the most versatile? If you had to choose just one unit, and use that alone, which would you choose?
Nice.
I own Rytm and a4. Rytm sounds so good. A4 sounds like shit…weak…kinda like a recording of a synth, if that makes sense. Is it just me ??
I am also trying ableton with a push 2. I can’t decide which way I want to go. Any advice ?
I don't own the A4. But as of what I saw and listened to it sounds great! Maybe there is something wrong inside or around your particular unit? Check it.
Push 2 is great! For many many many reasons: controlling DAW, jamming, using as a MIDI controller, Mixer, Groovebox, etc. I have one video on my channel with it! Check it out!
@@IhorMedia just watched and liked” it. Your video production is nnnice.
You should do an ableton and push for beginners. Especially the gains staging, fx sends , etc.things that most beginners are clueless about.
And would you ever play a live set with just ableton and push?
I want it to make noise and or IDM.
@@willhurt3446 Thanks! And thanks for the advice. Not sure that live set with the Push is my thing, to be honest. Totally doable tho.
Have you seen new firmware update for Digitakt????
Oh yes! And I have already upgraded mine! Looking forward to jam on it!
What did you do to the rimshot sound on the 2nd pattern to get this cool weird modulation?
Really cool video!
Hey Bart! Sorry I had to skip that part not to make this video one hour long.
With the rimshots I put quite a lot of overdrive and then assigned an LFO to the tune, hence it goes up and down in pitch. Nothing else I think.
Can you sidechain comp?
As far as I know there is no sidechain, at least in a way I think of it. However there is sidechain eq, which is quite helpful for making a better mix.
There are some tricks you can use. You can turn down the amp volume and back up again around the kick (P-Locking). You can slide the P-Locks too, for a smoother adjustment. It's a bit of a faff, but still works.....
Just use lfo
@@arjanpetersen by the way, do you know how not to trigger an LFO with a trig on AR? I tried to disable that LFO option on the first page and I think it does something different.
Like my Rytm mk2 techno black
My Mk 1 is jealous :)
Less theory and more practice would be nice. Each video is about what the best live set looks like. Now I really thought you should play a live set. Instead, just boring theory again.
