NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KONTAKT VS ELEKTRON OCTOTRACK PLUS

Here we have 2 very good quality analog drum machines, both with different advantages that make them a great choice.īoth are hybrid devices that combine the best of both worlds, analog and digital. Elektron Analog Rytm MKII vs Jomox Alpha Base The TR-09 has no effects, while the Analog Rytm has analog distortion and filtering in each voice, possibility of sending to Reverb and Delay in addition to the analog compression in the master.įinally, as it is a recreation of a vintage equipment, the TR-09 has neither individual outputs for your voices nor the wide possibilities offered by the Overbridge software. The TR-09 sequencer is much simpler, with only 16 steps versus the 64 steps of the Analog Rytm MKII sequencer. The TR-09 has 9 fixed voices with some possibilities of modification, while the Analog Rytm, thanks to its more powerful analog engines and its sampling engine, has many possibilities of sound exploration. This equipment perfectly recreates the legendary Roland TR-909 presented to the world by Roland in 1984, a drum machine that defined the sound of the nascent Techno and House of the time. The Roland TR-09 comes with much less performance than the Analog Rytm MKII, also notable in its price that is far below. Elektron Analog Rytm MKII vs Roland TR-09

NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KONTAKT VS ELEKTRON OCTOTRACK PLUS

While the Analog Rytm MKII has 8 individual outputs for your vocals plus the main stereo output, the TR-8 has only the main stereo output.įinally, for the more nostalgic users, the TR-8 has among its banks with drum sounds that come directly from the legendary TR-808 and TR-909, two Roland rhythm machines that made history in the 80’s. The Analog Rytm MKII has analog distortion for each voice and analog compression for the amplification section while the TR-8 does not have this.

The TR-8 has neither a filter nor an LFO, while the Analog Rytm MKII has a multi-mode analog filter for each voice and an assignable LFO for each voice. Roland’s TR-8 has 11 voices versus the 8 analog voices of the Analog Rytm that end up being 12 voices for the 4 that share the analog engine.Īnother important detail is that the TR-8 does not have a sampling engine, so its sound cannot be expanded, versus the Analog Rytm MKII that has 1 Gb for samples. Here we have 2 somewhat similar rhythm boxes, with one main difference, the Analog Rytm is an analog equipment while the TR-8 is a digital equipment. It should be noted that although the Elektron Octatrack MKII may be more interesting for some because of its greater number of features, the Analog Rytm MKII is an analog equipment and therefore for many, it is worth sacrificing these features for the heat offered by the analog circuitry. It has 2 main outputs and 2 additional cue outputs, versus the 8 outputs, one for each voice of the Analog Rytm MKII.It has 3 assignable LFOs per track versus only 1 LFO in the Analog Rytm MKII.

It has dedicated controls to manipulate the samples for greater agility at the time of sound creation.

The Analog Rytm has a capacity of 1 Gb for the audio samples, while in the Octatrack, the samples are loaded into a flash memory, which extends the size possibilities enormously.

Here we have two very different drum machines in principle, while the Analog Rytm MKII is a hybrid machine that has the best of both worlds, analog or digital, the Octatrack MKII is a powerful digital sampler, which allows you to modify the sound in much more advanced ways than in the Analog Rytm.Īmong the main differences in the Octatrack MKII, the following stand out:
