I've probably had several "drum machines" going back to the DR880. I recently tried the Roland ACB engine but drum machines were never very exciting.
So I bought a used Elektron RYTM MKII to see if real analog was any more exciting. I don't really want to sink $2k into a drum machine but found one for $600 less.
I think the true analog with filters etc. makes a big difference. I just got it today and the sound is as you might imagine the best possible or currently available. I haven't stopped playing with it and hardly know how to use it. It's solid and about the perfect form factor.
Is it worth $1,400 used? So far I'd say yes but that's still a ton of dough. Depends on if you make a living using it then a million times yes. Your fans will love you for it. If you want rhythm sounds to die for this might be the one.
