Elektron Analog Rytm MKII

Its large OLED screen offers crisp visual feedback whilst its durable pressure sensitive back-lit drum pads make it a joy to play both in the studio and on stage.

What really sets the Analog Rytm MKII apart is the analog sound. It has a magic character. The depth of the kick drums, the bite of the snare drums, those cavernous toms, the airy shimmer of the hihats. Fine-tune the sounds to your liking and get working.

For ultimate creative versatility you can layer samples on top of the analog drum sounds. Capture your own sounds, or use pre-recorded material, to make your beats as smooth, as rough, as realistic or as fantastic as you'd like. The perfect unity of analog percussion and sampling simply goes beyond.

When you've got your drums ready, record them to the sequencer and play them back. Do it using the pads, or perform detailed programming on the sequencer steps. Really meticulous or totally spontaneous: it's up to you.
