Elektron Rytm Tips

The document discusses different techniques for sampling sounds on the Roland Rytm drum machine to create synthesized instruments and melodic patterns. It finds that the Rytm's filters are well-suited for sampled synths, chromatic sample chains of 12 or 24 notes allow for easy composition, and sampling individual notes or scales allows for varied melodic sequences and improvisations.

I’ve been meticulously cutting up sounds and am now in the process of

deciding the best ways to pack it all in for the best user experience
possible. Here’s what I’ve found so far: [ul] [li]The Rytm works great for
sampled synths: the filters sweeten anything you put into it! [/li]
[li]Chromatic Mode: a sampled note at C (C1, C0, etc.) is good for
composing in chromatic mode, if you don’t pitch the sample up or
down too far (depending on the sample). [/li] [li]Sample Chains: Chains
of 12 and 24 work well because they can represent octaves, and also
the increments are easy to remember (5 and 10 increments
respectively). [/li] [li]Sample Chains (with C-notes for chromatic mode):
You can play a C-note (C1, etc.) and sample it at various settings (filter,
velocity) and compose in chromatic mode. Then change the sample in
the chain for sonic variations (while keeping the melody intact).
Interesting things can be made this way that would be difficult or
impossible to do with the original synth![/li] [li]Sample Chains (with
individual notes): You can also use a sample chain with sampled
individual notes, which gives a very true to life synth sound, and then
make a pattern on the sequencer and parameter lock the points in the
chain for note changes. [/li] [li]Scales: It’s also possible to make sample
chains made of only individual notes from a scale, which would be
good for improvisations. Load a few different chains of the same scale
into three different tracks, make a few tweaks, and you’ve got yourself
a hit, son! [/li] [/ul]
