4. ANALOG RYTM SOUND ARCHITECTURE

The Analog Rytm sound architecture, with its eight drum voices, two send effects (delay and reverb), and

two master effects (distortion and compressor), is shown below. Analog elements are gray; digital are white.

4.1 VOICE CIRCUITS

There are eight analog voice circuits. All voices have an identical sample playback engine, overdrive circuit,

and multimode filter. The percussion sound generators are not identical. Each is designed to generate a

specific class of analog drum sounds.

4.2 MACHINES

There are several MACHINES available for each voice circuit. A MACHINE is a set of synthesis parameters

that controls a percussion sound generator in order to act like a certain drum model. Different MACHINES

are software tailored to generate different kinds of bass drums, hi-hats, et cetera - and to provide the pa-

rameters most apt for each particular MACHINE. Per default, the

voice makes use of one of the avail-

able bass drum MACHINES,

HD. Another MACHINE may be selected which will engage the

voice

circuit in a different way, enabling it to employ, for example, frequency modulation.
