This immense increase of sound generating potential radically improves an already stellar analog drum machine. Enjoy new synthesis models specifically tailored for kick drums, snare drums, hi-hats, cymbals, and more.



When using Analog Rytm together with Overbridge, please note Overbridge 1.10 is needed to take full advantage of Analog Rytm OS 1.30.

New synthesis models

  • Basic Hi-hat: Hi-hat model with a tinny electronic sound.
  • Metallic Open hi-hat: Open hi-hat model with a snappy metallic sound.
  • Metallic Closed hi-hat: Closed hi-hat model with a snappy metallic sound.
  • Ride Cymbal: A multi-personality cymbal model that featuring a selectable cymbal oscillator type and also individual levels for the cymbal components. Well-suited for ride-cymbal type of sounds, but can also achieve other types of cymbal sounds.
  • Metallic Cymbal: Cymbal model with a snappy metallic sound.
  • Metallic Cowbell: Cowbell model with a snappy metallic sound.
  • Sharp Bass drum: A modern, hard-hitting bass drum model based on a single VCO featuring user-selectable waveforms. The VCO can be run freely for slight differences between the hits.
  • Silky Bass drum: A silky smooth bass drum with a large sweet spot and a gentle VCO click for shaping the transient. Also comes with a dust parameter, allowing the drum to be buried in tape-like environmental noise.
  • Plastic Bass drum: A bass drum model that utilizes both ring modulation and frequency
  • modulation between two VCOs to achieve distinct and almost plastic-sounding harmonics.
  • Natural Snare drum: A natural-sounding snare based on a single-VCO configuration. User-configurable noise color makes this snare very usable for both acoustic-type snares and subtle, electronic mini-snares.
  • Noise Generator: A white noise generator with a resonant low pass filter and a high pass filter. There is also an amplitude envelope to control the volume over time, and controls for automatically sweeping the low pass frequency.
  • Impulse Generator: Generates a short pulse with controllable attack, decay and polarity. This model is useful for triggering external devices.
