Elektron Musical Instruments

When I received my MD-UW I didn\ufffdt really expect much.
When I tried it out it immediately showed me that this is a new Diamond 
in my setup.

First thoughts I had when I heard about it:
1. Sampler, nice, but do I need it?
2. Only 32 Samples that\ufffds not very much
3. Midi transfer? Oh man.
4. Will it sound good?

These are the answers:
1. I have been working mostly with samples since a few years.
The UW is really a new way of working with samples.
The samples really come to life, because it is so easy and fast to 
change the parameters and it is so much fun.

2. I loaded 16 samples into the Machine, to fill one set.
I was playing around for 3 hours, I forgot to eat, drink and smoke.
And still I had the feeling I could make another 4 Songs out of these 
samples. Of course it is a limitation to have only 32 Samples, but you 
don\ufffdt really feel it. The only thing you feel is that it is exactly this 
limitation that will bring you to new results and stop you from spending 
your time on bullshit.

3. Midi transfer is no problem because you can transfer all 32 Samples 
at one time. It doesn\ufffdt even take much time because you mostly use short 
samples. To transfer 32 samples might take 5 minutes, ok.

4. I was really surprised by the sound. The samples sound more crispy 
and dynamic when they come out of the MD than when you hear them on your 
computer. What is that about, how did they do it?


I can\ufffdt help myself, I just think it\ufffds phantastic.
Roland, Yamaha, Akai and all other companies finally can close their 
business now, they have fooled us for too long anyway.


best greetings
Flo
