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.
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.
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 soft-
ware tailored to generate different kinds of bass drums, hihats, et cetera - and to provide the parameters most
apt for each particular MACHINE. Per default the BD voice makes use of one of the available bass drum
MACHINES, BDHD. Another MACHINE may be selected which will engage the BD voice circuit in a different
way, enabling it to employ, for example, frequency modulation.
