Hi,

There's a difference between "bass" and "punch".

True! The specs are stunning! So are the specs of the Waldorf Q which has no punch
when compared to other synths in its class. (flame me privately on that). What I
mean is that specs don't tell the full story.

Anyway, I'm convinced the Machinedrum will deliver what it promises.

KRK V8 and Yamaha NS10.

True, an MP3 file really messes with a lot of audible things.

I agree on this.

They sound very warm and I can already think of hundreds of uses for it, but when
it comes to punchy BD, that wasn't in the demos yet.

Very much looking forward to it as well! :)
