8. ANALOG RYTM CONTROLS
The Analog Rytm is played using the
[PADS]
. The responsive, velocity and pressure sensitive synthetic rub-
ber pads can be assigned to perform many possible functions. <PADS> will exhibit a variety of colors. There
are a variety of modes: MUTE mode, CHROMATIC mode, SCENE mode and PERFORMANCE mode.
8.1 PADS
The left half of the Analog Rytm front panel is dominated by the 12 pads. The finger-sized pads are made of
tough synthetic rubber and respond to pressure. Tapping a pad will trigger its track sound.
BD
will trigger
the bass drum,
SD
the snare drum and so on. The illustration outlines and briefly describes the analog per-
cussion sound generators. The twelve tracks and their default MACHINES are shown below.

Play the track Sounds of the active kit using the
[PADS]
. 8 individual track Sounds can be voiced simulta-
neously with the eight physical voices of the Analog Rytm. The
BD
,
SD
,
BT
and
LT
are independent tracks
with their individual voices. Tracks
RS-CP
,
MT-HT
,
CH-OH
and
CY-CB
, each pair is shown with a coupling
on the front panel of the Analog Rytm, share a voice. If both tracks of a coupled pair are played or trigged
simultaneously, the right-hand track has a higher priority. Track
CP
will mute track
RS
,
HT
will mute
MT
,
OH
will mute
CH
and
CB
will mute
CY
. With sequencer recording deactivated, drum tracks may also be played
using
[TRIG]
keys 1-12.
The color of the <PADS> will show pad activity. A pad will flash white briefly when engaged, whether it is
played manually or by the Analog Rytm sequencer. The active drum track is shown with a red color pad.
