Re: [elektron] advice Monomachine and Machine Drum or Spectralis

2007-04-28 by scutopus

I only own Elektron instruments, too, so other than saying the
Spectralis looks like a really useful piece of kit, I got nuthin'.

And, in the first question in his interview with Elektron, Sean Booth
reveals their whole setup for their recent live work:::

As far as sampling, the MD-UW is made more for short(er) samples, and
plays them at 12-bits. The main attraction is that you can manipulate
the samples through the Machinedrum's architecture. ...and then there
are the RAM machines!

Best,
Wendell.
