Re: [elektron] Only for people that have recorded with a machine drum through a front end

2005-11-09 by rui da silva

I'm glad to hear that someone else had trouble with the dixie cups ...  
for a moment i thought i was doing something wrong... but now i have  
realized that it actually is a design fault of the MD i have called  
Fedex to come and collect my MD and return it to Elektron...

thanx for that...
