>Hi!
>
>I've uploaded a new Machinedrum soundclip. This one is quite freaked, and
>shows a new side of the MD-sound. All different synths are used.
>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.
