8. ANALOG RYTM MKII CONTROLS
The Analog Rytm MKII is played using the [PADS]. The responsive, velocity and pressure sensitive pads can
be assigned to perform many possible functions. The <PADS> can display a variety of colors. There are a
variety of modes: PLAY mode, MUTE mode, CHROMATIC mode, SCENE mode and PERFORMANCE mode.
8.1 PADS
The 12 pads dominate the left half of the Analog Rytm MKII front panel. The finger-sized pads are made of
sturdy synthetic rubber and respond to pressure. Tapping a pad triggers its track sound. BD triggers the
bass drum, SD the snare drum and so on. The illustration outlines and briefly describes the analog percus-
sion sound generators. See the twelve tracks and their default MACHINES below.

Play the track Sounds of the active kit using the [PADS]. 8 individual track Sounds can be voiced simulta-
neously with the eight physical voices of the Analog Rytm MKII. The BD, SD, BT, and LT are independent
tracks with their separate voices. Tracks RS-CP, MT-HT, CH-OH and CY-CB, each pair is shown with a
coupling on the front panel of the Analog Rytm MKII, share a voice. If you play or trigger both tracks of a
coupled pair, the right-hand track has a higher priority. Track CP mutes track RS, HT mutes MT, OH mutes
CH and CB mutes CY. With sequencer recording deactivated, drum tracks may also be played using [TRIG]
keys 1-12.
The color of the <PADS> shows pad activity. A pad flashes white briefly when engaged, whether it is played
manually or by the Analog Rytm MKII sequencer. A red color pad shows the active drum track.
