if you're more a sampling person, for drums and just for general mangling and turning things into something they 1000% were not before. if you're just working with drum sounds and like analog drums, and combining the two, the RYTM is your machine. Also the OT is stereo vs the rytm being mono except the global master fx.īut it really just depends what you're after. It seems pretty common to have an external delay and reverb chained via the cue outs then fed back in to a through track you can send 7 tracks your external fx chain and monitor/mix the return on the 8th track. You can use neighbour machines to get both but that costs a track. You have 2 fx slots on each track in the OT but note reverb and delay are limited the 2nd slot so you can only have one. I think the OT wins for modulation, 3 LFOs and it has scenes which let you plock anything just as you could with the rytm, which you can crossfade between scenes ala rytm performance pads or jump directly between scenes ala the rytm scenes pads. The through input on the rytm is fairly quiet but I think euro levels would be ok, its too quiet for line level signals really without a bit of dancing around gain staging. I have both and I prefer the rytm but I am more interested in sound design and programming drums vs sampling & performance. You could get an external pad controller like a novation and connect it via midi. It even says performance sampler on the box. It's a useful studio tool as a small mixer/midi sequencer but really shines for playing samples. If you're thinking sampling and performance the OT would be your thing I think. Those two machines are super deep, with a learning curve and that's what attracts me to them. I don't want to do a too long post so I'll stop for now and see where this goes. All those individual out are great in studio, but I don't have a big enough mixer/soundcard as of now I can't buy everything at the same time so it is of no real use as of now. What is stopping me about the rytm, 2 inputs only but could it still be used as a mixer like the octatrack for my eurorack ? No crossfader which is purely awesome for performance on the octatrack. I don't care that it is an "old" product, I just bought a Rubicon V1 so it doesn't really matter to me. Doesn't seem to have so much modulation possibility like the rytm, no individual out. What really attracts me about rytm are the individual out which is super cool in studio to record each part separately, the pads to play one sample here and there as a one shot, the huge amount of modulation it seems that can be put on each step, the sequencer. That's mainly what I can think of right now, there are many other things of course but I am thinking while typing. What really attracts me about the octatrack are the crossfader, the 4 inputs to plug 4 sounds coming from my modular and use it as a mixer (if I understood correctly I could put 2 effects on each of those 4 tracks, and still have left 4 tracks from the octatrack for other stuff/sample?), real time time stretch and pitch. In both case it would be to use my own samples mainly for drums, polyphonic stuff & various sound along with my modular in studio first and when then live when covid allows it. I am trying to understand the main differences between the Octatrack mk2 and the rytm mk2 in terms of usage. Also I am not sure about if I am correct to put this topic in the "general gear" discussion, if I am not sorry for that ! The topic I found were quite old so there might be some new experiences from wigglers to share since then. There must have been a topic about that already but i couldn't find really the answers.
