Hi Guys,
Just seeing if there is any update here on the what seems to be inherent noise issue with the RYTM…I have done all the recommended things which reduces the noise, but it is still there unfortunately.
I love the sound and workflow of this thing and now it is the drum machine which I want to goto and use for everything, but can be a pain sometimes. I really have to be extra careful and make sure I do everything possible to reduce noise otherwise my track is sometimes unusable after compression/eq etc. (… I almost feel like the engineers back in the 60’s working with tape machines)
Anyways, I don’t buy the ‘it’s analog’ explanation as I have synths from the 70’s that are leagues more quiet than this. No problems with my MS-20 kit, SH-09, Jupiter 8, Moog MG-1.
I have a Revox Reel to Reel Tape Machine from the late 50’s that is more quiet.
So what is the deal here? Bad design? Packed too much into a small box?
BTW…lately I start my kits with just Samples from the RYTM (no analog voices) then add in my analog parts. I notice the noisefloor before I even add the analog stuff so something is up.
Anyone experiment with a better lower noise Power Supply?
