ANALOG RYTM CONTROLS
The Analog Rytm is played using the [PADS]. The responsive, velocity and pressure sensitive synthetic rubber
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.
PADS
The left half of the Analog Rytm front panel is dominated by the 12 pads. The finger-sized buttons 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 percussion
sound generators. The twelve drum 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 simultaneously
with the eight physical voices of the Analog Rytm. The BD, SD, BT and LT are independent tracks with their own
individual voices. Tracks RS-CP, MT-HT, CH-OH and CY-CB, each pair 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 silence track RS, HT will silence MT, OH will silence CH and CB
will silence 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.
