Elektron Musical Instruments

I use the MD the whole way through, slaved to whatever master or  
acting as master in some cases, doing all patterns in the MD and  
arranging everything in the very nice song mode in the MD.  Generally  
I use up an entire MD worth of pattern slots for a track, so I've got  
a full backup for each song.  If I need to do levels, I do it in the  
MD, but I do use the multiple outs in various ways derived from what  
sounds are in the drum track (from the MD)...
