main disadvantages on the rytm mk2 are:
- no BW filter
- 1 lfo per track
- no dedicated MIDI tracks and very limited MIDI out control
- almost all values are 1 step increments while on DT most are decimal, so far less resolution for values (there are workarounds though)
- no new sample machines - stretch, slice, etc.
- no mixer for incoming audio, no ability to use built in fx for incoming audio except for compressor, or you can use everything with overbridge.
main advantages of rytm mk2:
- many tasty analog engines, including all sexy DVCO
- tasty analog filters
- tasty analog distortion & compressor
- CV control
- individual outs
- performance, scenes, trig slides, trig mutes, accent…
so basically it’s way more limited from the current state of DT in sample handling but it still can do a lot, just don’t expect it to do everything DT does.
the benefits are obvious though if that’s what you’re looking for. it’s a synth that you can use in many ways, not only drums.
