Nerdsession No.6 - Dapayk & the Elektron Analog Rytm

[@mgregory22]

This is superb! I would love to hear a new Analog Rytm session, after 6+ years.

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

This still sounding funky fresh after all these years

[@soulfrqnzrecords8916]

i come always back to this... love it, it grooves and leads me - thank you! :)

[@michaeltoop1353]

Really gets moving and keeps building. Nice!

[@kingdingaling8709]

This is amazing. I'm 30 and just taking the plunge now. Really inspiring stuff. Really makes you realise how much you can squeeze from one piece of equipment when you don't over complicate it. Thanks for uploading

[@sonicultura]

Best drum machine ever made! Dapayk you are truly rockin this machines!! Cheers man!

[@DapaykSolo]

+sonicultura thanks a lot! :)

[@digitalspleen]

It's not the machine, it's the man. You are so good !

[@aikighost]

+YOLT Although to be fair the Analog RYTM is the best bit of kit Elektron have ever released IMHO.

[@CarlGontheBeat]

+aikighost I think the Octatrack might be the best. No other piece of gear like it.

[@aikighost]

+Carl G I hated mine. Sold it and got a tempest instead.

[@CarlGontheBeat]

+aikighost the tempest is the best. I use the octatrack for samples and master cloc;, tempest for drums and the polysynths ; and the Korg minilogue for any weird shit/ pads. I haven't posted any videos yet as I'm still learning the octatrack. I figure in 34 years I'll finally be able to use it and post a video.

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

HAHAHAHA! My words exactly. My Soundcloud account is empty. Electronic shyness!

[@esdee303]

Ich bin immer wieder überrascht, was allein aus einem RYTM rauszuholen ist. Ich fürchte ich muss mir mittelfristig wirklich die Elektron Trinity holen (Analog Four habe ich schon) Danke für die ganzen Videos, das gibt einen schönen Einblick wie Du arbeitest und vor Allem, was mit manchen Maschinen möglich ist!

[@awkb777]

This guy is legit, sipin the san miguel out in the desert, rippin some dope tunes.

[@Bronko_]

hahaha, nice take.

[@sativamusicrelax1121]

you have a very beautiful style, I like it a lot, thank you for sharing

[@jasondaly5351]

this is what it s supposed to be.One machine and it sounds better than any DJ set or artist with a shit load of drum machines and synts this guy can do it on one machine,doesn't matter what make he Master's them all.EXCELLENT

[@grandmasterjo1]

Amazing clean control,brilliant sounds n sequencing.

[@alexrafter]

Great! Love hearing these sets on just one unit. Shows how much you can get from each on their own. How about a set on just the Octatrack next?

[@frederiktieborts1844]

Top 3 best 28 mins ever on youtube.. Thank you.

[@DapaykSolo]

thanks, man!

[@adnancelebic8732]

Sehr inspirierendes Video und coole preformance...du hast mich überzeugt das ding zum kaufen...Danke

[@uchunokoe]

@Dapayk Solo Great work, as always! greetings from Japan.

[@avantoo]

Superb live set Dapayk! Great progression and sounds. Very groovy indeed.

[@MarcS4R]

the track that started at 16:15 just gave me the goose bumps. unbelievable what you get out of this maschine. great work

[@dubment]

Epic comeback from that plastic aira set, when I watched that some time ago, I went back and listened to your old analog 4 + rytm set, just to hear the difference in sound and man that aira is digital and processed, never mind that you cant compare the work flow...

[@DapaykSolo]

+Omm R yeah, the sound is different compared to aira ... but to be honest: i like both!

[@Towly263]

+Dapayk Solo is this a raw recording or eq? always like your stuff!

[@DapaykSolo]

+Towly263 i recorded the sound i heard thru the headphones, so i had to add some mids in the studio, but that's it... no compression or limiting...

[@philoupaulo]

Hypnotic ! I need this machine Elektron synths are greats and innovatives

[@luismoreira1992]

Congratulations, nice afternoon ending but theres only one thing that i see... SAN MIGUEL??? No man... go back and take a superb glass of RED WINE, that is the combine for the perfect deep and chill ambient. Great sound, great ferformance congratulations from Portugal.

[@giuliomix86]

Absolutely Amazing and Inspiring....much love from italy!

[@vangeemusic]

superjam!!! mit nur der Rytm!!!TOP!!!!

[@MarcusHify]

Wurde Zeit! Danke für die Inspiration

[@Makakogod]

Officially,I love this man ! This is so ... Good!

[@glenbrady4220]

Funky outdoor vibes. Nice!

[@knusprigundfrisch]

Amazing! :) great jam, Love it!

[@locaamaja6664]

Ein Soundpack für den Rytm von Dapayk wäre sehr Nice :-) Wahnsinn was du aus der Rytm rausholst

[@danpreston564]

God damn it. Another video by Dapayk that makes me wonder why I bother. Minimal, but every bit is right. As normal he makes music that for me sums up everything good in this style.

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Dapayk, tus sesiones son muuy buenas. Gran trabajo! Saludos

[@peladoclaus]

This is really good!

[@leehodge7907]

such an inspiration man! I need to spend way more time with my rytm. great work as always!

[@ScottMFR]

Ha! I was trying to figure out what you were using for all the non-percussion elements. I assumed you had paired the RYTM with something else for melodies and such. Great to hear it creating such a full and wide pallette! That's the beauty of pairing samples with synthesis. I just picked one up last Friday and this is very inspiring...

[@justinianherzog4861]

+brasscat It's pretty easy to retask the toms or ride/cowbell synth engines to play chromatically on RYTM. There's an oscillator, envelope, filter, etc....everything to get a traditional synth voice.

[@ScottMFR]

+Justinian Herzog So I have discovered! Such a powerful machine...

[@Digiphex]

Bravo. Nice atmosphere to work in as well.

[@funkyfredfrog]

You inspired me to get one again!

[@AlexDeBronhe]

good music! power live performance mix+++

[@mrbrotherman]

Amazing respect to you

[@diegomedina6161]

I,ve always loved your style dapayk especially for your way of thinking working with elektron I'm thinking about getting one in the future I don't have SoundCloud or anything but I'm starting to produce music at 21 hopefully one day we can share ideas and make a collab? yours truly fan from el Paso tx./ Juarez MX.

[@DapaykSolo]

thanks, man! greets from berlin!

[@umusachi]

Nice, dude! Great sounds you're getting there :)

[@RomainRaynalComposer]

Good goood gooood! Thanks a lot for sharing your work!

[@DayflightTrok]

Fantastic...one liveset only with one box.

[@citizenramirez]

greeting from mallorca ;)

[@xc3n]

oh man this is wicked!

[@mystigrixmusic]

Hergott, ich brauche eine neue Hose! War das geil!

[@dialman1111]

Awesome!

[@markwar6353]

Excellent! dope!

[@denkdenksy3252]

6:16

[@ronny_braun_]

Amazing

[@FranieDeep]

Transported!!!! I have a lot to learn yet!!!! ;-) Nice one!

[@abitpoet]

sounds just perfect!

[@M1L31]

awesome!!!

[@BoBSwanS]

Lovely stuff!

[@m0n0c0n]

cool performance. respect!

[@jareksowka8897]

der knaller hammer sound bravo

[@Kissed1982]

awesome stuff man!

[@oldskooooool]

realy great mate :)

[@anthonymaes5773]

Still the best 🎵🌞😎 !

[@LittleAmbientMachine]

this is so fucking cool! with just a AR wauw chapeau

[@lavatips2514]

Très bon

[@sascha.gregori]

Respect! A little jealous of the location but luckily we're having a wonderfull fall here in the Swiss Mountains too (still harvesting tomatos!) :) If you are keen to explain the differences between the drum kits that come with every pattern I think that would help me alot to understand how you manage to get these fluent pattern changes while at the same time (only some of) your sounds change drastically. Plus do you also feel that at some points the fx send (delay,reverb) is too low at max values? Enjoy the warmth and your machines! Sascha

[@mostlikely2509]

nice one man!!

[@JohnnyDub08]

Yo, ich rock das Teil auch heftig. :)

[@emilisvaskys8336]

mad respect

[@Honeysmack]

solid workout man, love that bass sound around 11:30

[@riddimfernandez5139]

sounds great... torn on the A4 or the Rytm...

[@2DiskK]

Yeah, couldn't decide either, so I purchased both, I prefer to live poorer than to live with that hesitation or the consequences of a choice :p

[@SuperEgido]

¡Qué pasada!

[@stevenferrell]

You make me want to spend loads of money!!

[@thomasgenay8437]

bravoooo!

[@locaamaja6664]

Big Sound.Please uploaded the files for rytm

[@BastiaanvandeWerk]

That's a pretty nice bass sound at 17:00.

[@ArtBusker]

Cool !!!!

[@jenskuhnemann1241]

Abgefahren. Motiviert mich ohne Ende den Rytm mal nicht nur für Drums zu benutzen. Läuft der mit 12 V Akku?

[@XephyronDigital]

Ok. So "kit reload on change is off"? Same kit for several patterns. Each pattern copied to the next to start changing The kit out. I see what's happening. This is a really smart way to approach this machine. I thought this was fake at first!

[@XephyronDigital]

Great job. This is really clever.

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

Can you explain this, please? I don’t get it.

[@jenskuhnemann1241]

Hi, funktioniert das Aufnehmen mit dem Zoom gut? Die meisten Fieldrecorder haben ja gemeinsame Line / Mic Eingänge und nen Mic Vorverstärker intern verbaut weshalb Line Aufnahmen clippen. Bin auf der Suche nach nem Recorder, primär zum Aufnehmen meiner Sets, und irgendwie behaupten alle Line zu können aber sind in der Regel nur Mic Eingänge. Auch der Zoom wäre mir eigentlich zu groß aber besser als nen Laptop mitzunehmen. Für Aufnahmen draussen genauso gut geeignet wie ne Spiegelreflex. Super Qualität aber man muss schon bewusst rausgehen um zu samplen denn für den Weg zur Bar ist das Ding leider viel zu groß....

[@artleezy3744]

+Dapayk Solo this is so inspiring! i dj but want to start performing live in my sets. can you recommend a good beginners kit for live performance?

[@DapaykSolo]

maybe start with an electribe 2? it's not too expensive and easy to understand

[@artleezy3744]

ok great. i'll check it out... thanks so much!

[@MrLunge84]

Great! Waiting for your gig in Elbingerode. Is it a sample at 16:45? Sounds f**** great. How do you build this sound?

[@DapaykSolo]

thanks! yes, it's an one-shot-sample plus a little distortion and a lot of low pass filter

[@mostlikely2509]

Dapayk do me a favour please, explain how you choose diferent sounds trough patern selection for diferent pads during performance? thanks in advance bro!!

[@DapaykSolo]

it's basically a new kit every 8 patterns... i keep some of the sounds of the earlier pattern and add some new. i fade in the new sounds and fade out the old one during the 8 patterns...

[@Fante247]

Great once again!! I'm amazed how much you get out of this one box. Are you using engines for bass, or samples? If you are using engines, is it a specific one?

[@DapaykSolo]

+Fante247 the drum sounds are mainly the internal engines. the leads & basses are short, one tone samples, no loops...

[@ONOFFON]

Fantastic work - very inspiring. I have a question about your workflow if you don't mind: How do you transition from kit to kit without it being noticeable ? If you're leaving common sounds between kits and changing parameters IE: your filter sweeps etc doesn't it revert to the saved kit value when you change ? These transitions were smooth enough not even to be heard.

[@DapaykSolo]

+on off on band yes, that's what i do! i just have to remember which parameters i can change while switching between kits and which i better not touch ;)

[@bboyclipsy]

Can I create similar beat 12:05 with Elektron Analog Four ?

[@DapaykSolo]

you might become problems with the kick drum, i never got a rytm kick drum out of the analog 4. the synth sounds should be possible...

[@henry9772]

Klasse Performance! Gibt es eigentlich auch den MFB Tanzbär im Video? Das fände ich interessant.

[@DapaykSolo]

ha, gute idee! den muss ich mir noch anschaffen!

[@locoluciano6745]

dope

[@groovesleuth]

curiously the bpm is set on 122 only, although the tracks he's playing seem much faster

[@slakk5093]

nah its 122.. just hit the tap tempo on a drum machine in time with this set

[@JoeReillyDoesthings]

He's using a fish Eye lense too! Hes conspiring with nasa to convince us the elektron is not flat!

[@slakk5093]

hahaa I knew it !!!

[@giuseppecinalli8578]

What do you use for recording? Great session!

[@j0bey1]

Incredible, makes me realise I've barely scratched the surface with mine. How much of your performance was sample based, and how much were you using the internal sound engines? The kick drums sound great, especially in the first few of tracks, wondering if they were samples. And some of the melody elements were amazing, were they typically imported or generated on the machine!? Thanks! Very inspirational.

[@DapaykSolo]

most of the drums are coming from the machine, the kick drum always does. ... the melodic sounds and basslines were one shot samples. all melodies were programmed in the rytm

[@j0bey1]

Thanks for the response mate, awesome work :)

[@imilianmax]

Mich würde deine Persönliche Meinung zu dem Gerät im vergleich zu den anderen Elektron geräten interessieren!.. Ich bin mir nicht sicher welcher es werden soll...

[@DapaykSolo]

mit dem rytm machst du nichts falsch! für mich die beste drummachine, die je gebaut wurde!

[@imilianmax]

+Dapayk Solo Danke für die Antwort! Dann lass ich mir die Gerätschaft mal zukommen. Kann ich dir auf irgenteine Art und weise etwas zukommen lassen sobald ich eine kurze performenc zusammen komponiert habe?

[@DapaykSolo]

demos immer gern an [e-mail]! ;)

[@imilianmax]

+Dapayk Solo Cooler Typ! Danke, bis bald. ;)

[@ratikanto]

looks like u filmed it in India

[@samuelyang1140]

I'm making a decision between OT and AR for my first hardware. Which one would you recommend for industrial/minimal techno production?

[@DapaykSolo]

that's a decision between apples and oranges ;) the ot plays every sample you load in, the ar has a strong analog drum section, but also plays samples (but less comfortable than the ot). i'd say: if you like flexibility, go with the ot. if you want to use analog drums, choose the ar...

[@twicksisted]

Amazing sounds out of just a drum machine! is there anything else attached? I hear a vocal sample?

[@Piratesteve81]

AR also has sample playback capabilities.

[@el_dani]

the Rytm does analog and samples..

[@q3rageq3]

Nice job! Which single cycle waveforms did you use? Would highly appreciate if you ll throw a link.

[@marcus268]

Your performance is totally fat - incredible what you get out this machine. Which recorder do you use ?

[@バター犬-u6y]

What is the noise around 12:00 ? on purpose?

[@FlorisKeys]

I like this! Did you prepare any of it? Or is it an on-the-fly-jam?

[@DapaykSolo]

you have to prepare sounds and loops, but there is plenty of room to jam around... ;)

[@martinp5865]

Richtig nices Set und das nur mit der Rytm! Ich wüsste mal gerne wie du das mit den Übergängen von einem zum anderen Kit hinkriegst? Hast du da vielleicht ein paar grundlegende Tipps um die so smooth zu machen?

[@DapaykSolo]

danke dir! ich kopiere ein kit von einem pattern zum nächsten und ändere 1 - 2 sounds im neuen kit. alle 4 patterns startet ein kit mit neuen sounds. die sounds die verschwinden, blende ich per filter oder per volume aus. nach start des neuen patterns, mit neuem kit, drehe ich die neuen sounds (die meist über filter oder lautstärke gemutet abgespeichert sind) langsam rein. hilft dir das weiter?

[@martinp5865]

+Dapayk Solo ja auf jeden Fall, danke für die Antwort! Werde ich gleich mal in der Praxis ausprobieren. Ein kleines Set mit der Elektron zählt doch als Demo die ich mal an Mosferry schicken kann oder?

[@DapaykSolo]

klar, schick rum! ;)

[@martinp5865]

+Dapayk Solo ist gemacht;)

[@papertarrasque]

This is sick, but I keep getting distracted by the wheel you're sitting on and I keep trying to figure out where the hell you are.

[@djdigitaladdict8407]

*hi dapayk!very, very nice set!!!you got it!!!and a good quality recording too!!!its a zoom recorder you have on the table?and if no, how do you record the audio?i need your help, please, thanks!*

[@DapaykSolo]

thanks! the recorder is the zoom h5.

[@djdigitaladdict8407]

really!?amazing quality!!!i whas a bit ceptic with this kind of recorders, but when i saw your video, i dissipate my doubts...no doubt, i gona buy a zoom recorder...thank you very much for your help!!!

[@olegkiselev6262]

Excellently! All sounds are wound on Elektron Analog Rhythm!??? Or external seply?

[@DapaykSolo]

thanks! most of the drums are coming from the machine, the kick drum always does. ... the melodic sounds and basslines were one shot samples from my library. all melodies were programmed in the rytm

[@olegkiselev6262]

Thanks for the answer! Excellent sound!

[@mikhyenesteclase1689]

@Dapayk Solo How do you pay for all these machines ^^? Do you have a "day job"?

[@DapaykSolo]

no, i don't have a day job. i make my living from playing live sets and running a label.

[@fabianbrugger532]

Hast du alles auf der analog rytm kreiert? resp.für ein (neues) liveset erstellst du die drum elemente auf dem rytm und speicherst die als zb track 1-10 ab oder erstellst du sie extern und lädst sie auf den rytm? oder so wie als auch :) ?

[@DapaykSolo]

+Fabian brügger ich erstelle alle loops/drums auf dem rytm. ich speichere keine einzelnen tracks ab, nur projects

[@fabianbrugger532]

ok d.h pro track ein projeckt oder ein projekt pro set. :) (ich kenne den rytm nicht so guet sorry) kannst du pro projekt 16 drums/loops speichern ? Bin auf der suche nach einem geeigneten werkzeug und stell mir eben immer wieder die gleichen fragen

[@DapaykSolo]

+Fabian brügger jede "bank group" (16loops) beinhaltet in meinem fall 2 kits (soundanordnung auf den einzelnen tracks). das projekt (bei elektron die höchste orga-ebene) beinhaltet 4 bankgroups. du kannst pro pattern (loop) 12 drumsounds speichern, aber auch jederzeit samples über triglocks abfeuern und damit das ganze erweitern

[@fabianbrugger532]

Vielen Dank schon mal :) muss das ding mal genau anschauen...

[@anthonymaes5773]

Good job! Very impressive. Do you use the same kit along your patterns or different one per pattern? Your session give me a reason to spend more and more Time on AR.

[@DapaykSolo]

+Anthony Maes it's a new kit every 8 patterns
