Re: Machinedrum Userwave: World's most expensive sampler?

2005-04-20 by finite_sf

just posted my responce to the blog...


"I own the machinedrum, as well as the monomachine. I am super happy
with both of them. I can honestly say that if I was forced to sell all
my gear, they would be the 2 last items to go.

What I enjoy so much about the two are:

SOUND! SOUND! SOUND!
Rock solid build quality
Super reliable
extremely easy to use interface
Awesome customer support
Huge web community
Sound creation is a snap
Super easy to create a grove.
Cant find a better hardware sequencer on the market.

You get what you pay for... why else do you think the Elektron has a
cult following?

The Userwave is not just a sampler, it is a full blown machinedrum,
with 2MB of storage. This 2MB is exactly what some users needed. (some
were seeking the ability to use a sampled snare, HH, kick...)

Don't forget not all the details are known about the Machinedrum
Userwave. There might be a USB storage device?!"
