I hadn’t. Or at least not for these purposes, because I’m not sure what an OT would offer as a drum machine beyond what’s available on the DT. Whereas the rytm and Md offer actual synthesis (the main differentiator IMO)

True, the differences in this context are not that many.
I could however point out several differences (if I’m not omitting DT functionalities) :

  • 3 lfos per track
  • true stereo
  • real-time sampling/playing of internal tracks
  • a broader choice of FXs
  • The Crossfader + Scenes

At the risk of not offering much to the OP, I’ll say this thread sounds an awful lot like “buy a rytm and sound like thom york”. (even when I know that certain gear can lead to some sounds more quickly…)

Trigger probability and skipping every other beat is also something teleytype is very good at btw :wink:

To come back to the sonic nature, surely also some extreme usage of a compressor?
I must say the beat has an almost clicky property to my ears I rather dislike. But it’s amazing how it fits baked in a thom york song, probably the contrast to the more poppy elements. that alien ingredient I guess :alien:

There is an unmistakable influence of club music in his/their music.

So might be also worth checking out some techniques from that spectrum (while also being open to experimentation for the weirder stuff).

First thing I found on google, not sure how applicable/valuable:

The way this thread keeps resurfacing prompted me to return to Anima which, in turn, reminded me of how much I enjoy Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes. Nothing much to add other than: thanks :slight_smile:
