Re: [elektron] Serious Question - MD-UW vs. MD + Live

2006-03-28 by Chris Stammen

Damn,
I traded my mint sidstation for a mint MS2000,
Not quite a good deal either (financially),
but it made me love the MS2k and now I've got two of those. --
Anyways, I've got a machinedrum-UW nowadays.. and this piece is staying 
here! :) -

Here's a little movie of me doing some live stuff with the UW and the 
two MS2k's,
Also, a microkorg is used as the main basssound. Made it yesterday..

The MPC is turned on, but there's no sound coming from it.
