The Analog Rytm from Elektron is a fully featured 8-voice drum machine with a 100% analogue signal path. Each drum voice comes with a dedicated analog multimode filter and analogue overdrive circuit. To create your beats, you have the option of using either the 12 drum pads for live performance, or the Elektron step sequencer for easier grid based input.
