Elektron Musical Instruments

There is no real standard process, people just use what works best for them.
For me, I always start everything in hardware, get a sequence going, get
some variations going on, try to figure out some basic arrangement on the
hardware sequencer I'm using, usually the MnM(a godsend), using mutes the
joystick and pattern switching. Then record all the loops of each part into
Logic, and work from there. More advanced arrangement, editing, adding parts
on the fly from my gear, usually via midi before recording in, but sometimes
just playing the audio in. Work on mixing, effects, getting the sound where
I want it etc..  

Here's typically about a nights work for a track, the other night in fact.
My stuff always starts as sketches like this.

P.S. Mostly MnM and SH-101 :)
