Elektron Musical Instruments

I've been trying to set this up all day and came across this thread.
Either implementation is fine. For now, I call a pattern with the kit
I want and a muted single kick in it in bank H. I then send MIDI to it
from Live only. Kinda sucks to give up a bunch of banks, but I think
it 'll work until something better is added.

Love the MD - it makes my live sets sound so good!
