Elektron Musical Instruments

i'm sorry, but i'm still in shock, just like to add that I'm truely 
impressed...this demo adds a whole new demension to previous notion of what 
the md is. really sounds good. I'll do my best to hook up with one rom ya'll 
or second hand. But yea...wow man. creative sub level tones...I'm totally 
digging this box now.

>I've uploaded a new Machinedrum soundclip. This one is quite freaked, and

>You'll find it in md_demo. Full URL:
>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/elektron-users/files/md_demo/md_germanica_192.mp3
>
>I'll try to answer some of the questions put by people on the list the
>past day:
>
>1) No, Machinedrum is no Stomper. Has no similarities.
>
>2) Yes, you can use MIDI-note-messages to trigger patterns. You can also
>trigger individual drums over MIDI if you'd rather do that than press the
>trigger-buttons.
>
>3) Open ended? It is flash-upgradable, and we will supply upgrades. If we
>get the inspiration we could add new machines or even synths. But users
>can't write their own drums. This is much harder than you might think.
>
>4) The bassdrum sound sounded like it shifted in sound on different
>trigs? This is partly because of that some machines work that way - they
>can differ between different times when they are trigged. But most of it
>came from that the system wasn't really healthy at the time I recorded the
>bdsd_example.
>
>5) What effects (external) are used for the demos posted so far? None. The
>Machinedrum is connected straight to a soundcard and recorded from it's
>internal sequencer. OK - they have been normalised. :)
>
>6) What effects does the MD have? First, it has a 16 track effect system.
>One for each drum track. This has a 1-band EQ, resonant low/band/high-pass
>filter, Dist, Sample rate reduction and Amplitude modulation. Each track
>has sends to the Rhythm echo and Gate-reverb. The stereo master effect
>system include EQ and Dynamic processor. The demos at the md-site almost
>only use clean machines. The germanica-demo uses all kinds of (internal)
>effects. The reverb is not yet ready and has not been used in the demos.
>
>7) Synth-engine specs? I'm sorry - would take too long. I might come back
>to this one... Samples are used in the E12 synth, but it hasn't been used
>in the demos so far.
>
>8) How many Machinedrums are planned? 100 will be produced in the first
>batch. These will be offered to SID-customers and friends in the beginning
>of April at an introduction-price. We will not be able to produce very
>many at the beginning (they are really costly to produce) so there might
>be a shortage.
>
>9) No limited edition is planned. The Machinedrum will be limited by
>itself for the time coming.
>
>10) When can we see the manual? It's not ready yet. Most of our time goes
>to developing at this moment. The MD is still in development.
>
>11) Are you doing any new things? We've been very hard with the
>Machinedrum and haven't had time for any other project.
