Elektron Musical Instruments

I run my MDrum outs threw a piece of string and dixie cups....
A bit of noise can be heard when I crank the volume, ARGHH!!

I have notified Elektron about this, but those bastards dont care about my setup, I'll be returning my MDrum ASAP until they provide better support for my live setup....

I Really wish they would offer better support for un-orthodox setups like my cup solution. I just feel dixie cups offer that tru analog sound that only a pro like myself can enjoy...

just my 2 cents....
