1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Analog Rytm. It is a hybrid analog/digital drum machine featuring, among many
other things, the intuitive Elektron step sequencer. The innovative combination of modern technology and
tried and trusted ways of sound generation lets you create any kind of drum: purely analog, sample-based
or a combination of the two. To get the most out of your machine, we recommend that you read this manual
in its entirety.
