Re: [elektron] MD vs MD-UW?

2007-10-08 by Patrik Rydberg

Second that.

When I bought the UW, I thought it would be great to be able to put my 
own samples in there. The RAM-machines, I thought I wouldn't use much, 
but that it could be fun to have sometime...

Now, about one year later, I still have just a few of my own samples in 
there, but man do I use the RAM machines! I have used them for 
everything from resampling a single machine to be able to retrigg it, 
through resampling the MD or another loop from Live to process/mess it 
up, to actually using ram machines to tidy up the timing of an recorded 
electrig guitar playing powerchords. I have used them for strange delay 
effects on vocals, or to get looping vocals really quick and easy (you 
know, "this is house, house, house, house, house...")

RAM machines ROCK!
