Elektron Musical Instruments

Sorry,
  I've wanted the same bit of kit. There are a couple of holdups
though. I was ready to buy the Spectralis, but when I played with it
at Namm I was left unconvinced. The knobs(encoders) left something to
be desired. And, I don't like to do detailed parameter editing through
a tiny screen. In fairness, the capabilities of the machine are quite
powerful. If only the interface could be more accommodating.

As for the user wave elektron, what ever became of the internal timing
issue? Some people on the forums were complaining of noticeable clock
jitter. Hard to believe as A.E. have really precise timing. But then
again, it seems like their equipment was slaved to a laptop running
D.P.(which could of been chained to an antelope). Performer contained
all of the midi data for the live show. It's all conjecture until
someone runs the appropriate tests. Those ram samplers sound pretty
wicked though.

It sounds like you've got the sound sources pretty much sussed, so why
not get an MPC2500? Or a laptop running Kontakt2, Emu's X2? Then all
you need is a KP3, and do a continual loop(resampling) as your
committing tracks. Kinda like D.P.'s polar.

Anyways, I've got a headache from too much Kona.
I hope clavia release a G3 with the capabilities of the Wave thrown
in(rack format). That's what I'm waiting for. I'll be blue soon.

Honestly, any piece of kit will work. It really doesnt matter. Fuck
it-get an ASR-X, I regret selling it.
