No prob Flavio. What I meant is that the MD\ufffds synth engine is not as deep as the attack one. But it\ufffds really flexible as well. It\ufffds just different. The different sounds are not patches of a single synth (like in attack). Instead, you have different machines, that can be of different synth types (sampled, FM, subtractive, and a new great stuff that emulates acoustic instruments). Each machine has different parameters to tweak. After you get familiar with the machines (there are about 40) you build rythms on the fly. Now, the sequencer is *THE* shit. It\ufffds amazing and this is where it shines. There\ufffds no way to do the same stuff with the MAM. For live use as well. It never clips the little bastard. Always runnin. For tecno it\ufffds probably the best tool you\ufffdll find around. Against the combo you mentioned, I\ufffdd always go for the MD. I had a microQ, and the four knobs are a bit limiting. Besides, you\ufffdd have to join in a compressor and a reverb/delay box, so the price would be about the same. Don\ufffdt hesitate. Here are some samples of some stuff I\ufffdve been doing. All drum parts are from the MD. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fin-music/files/Rui/newdub_A%2011%2B12_1.mp3 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fin-music/files/Rui/coffeebreak.mp3 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fin-music/files/Rui/untitled1.mp3 >From: Flavio Alvarez <srminimo@...> >Reply-To: elektron-users@yahoogroups.com >To: elektron-users@yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: [elektron] MD noise >Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 17:07:50 -0800 (PST) > >Hi, Rui > > > > Like Joeri.
