Analog Rytm MKII — At a Glance Published on Nov 29, 2017 Elektron

"Analog Rytm MKII is an analog/digital beat making dream machine. Everything – from the state of the art aluminium enclosure, via the large pads, to the new quick performance controls – is a direct result of the quest for rhythmical excellence. And now you can sample with it too."

You can find details on the Analog Rytm MKII here.

Sampling workflow - Elektron Analog Rytm MKII

Published on Nov 29, 2017 Carl Mikael's Cabinet of Curiosities

"The classic drum machines are dead. Long live the classics.

My interest in making electronic music lies in making unique sounds. The combination of sampling and synthesis gives me huge opportunities to make weird and wonderful sounds on the Elektron Analog Rytm MKII.

Enjoy this video on sampling workflow. Getting sounds of modular, Gameboy and vocals into the shiny (not shiny, actually) new Rytm."

Inside a Mellotron M400: How the Mellotron Works

Published on Nov 27, 2017

"Here's a look inside a Mellotron M400 we just restored and an explanation of how it works! The famous (or notorious) Mellotron M400, made in the 1970s, is a unique keyboard instrument in which every key plays back a recording of that note on actual magnetic tape.

This Mellotron (#1344) was restored by Alison Stout at Bell Tone Synth Works in Philadelphia, PA. Read more about this and other vintage keyboard restorations on our blog at http://belltonesynthworks.com!"

"This concert at the 'carussel of the youth' from 1970 is the earliest existing concert video of these electronic pioneers. The band was just created this year and could be seen in the original setup.
