Why the hell is he trying to plug a drum machine into a microphone
input?!? Is the Elektron Machine Drum a microphone?!??! No! It is not!
This is like saying "after I break my dog's legs so it can fit into a shoe box,
it can't run very fast". -- I ask you: WHY DO YOU WANT TO FIT YOUR
DOG INTO A SHOE BOX???
What? You don't have a kennel?!? BUY A DAMN KENNEL! DUH!
