Elektron Musical Instruments

a new MD operating system has been released...
one of the features is that you can send audio from RAM -> ROM machines. This means you can sample directly from the source, and save the sample.

also theres a device called turbomidix10 ...which is ready to be announced very, very soon....it will speed up MIDI dumping by ten times...and I think we're all hoping it will have some sort of flash-storage for saving samples on to.

I'm jealous of your sp1200! so jealous! 
have you got any tunes made with it online ?

 You can do both - live and programmed recording.

 No, they're not.

 As lo fi and gnarly as you need, definitely.  I don't think
 any of the machines lack low end, but you can kick out some
 sickly treble, as well.  Admittedly, I'm into the clicky
 sounds that come from retriggers and start/end point
 modulation.
 
 Here are some jams with a lot of UW - forget the dodgy
 composition and recording, just listen to the drums ;) - all
 recorded with no post-processing or outboard:

 Yep.

 No sample editing onboard.  You'll need something else for
 that.

 I reckon you'll need _something_ to get your own loops and
 hits in, eventually, but if you really learn to rock the RAM
 machines, who knows?
 
 Where do you live?  Perhaps someone here can show you.
