Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi Preto,

>I was the one who put the noise question for the first time 2 weeks ago, and here are some thoughts:
>- The MD is a very flexible and powerfull drum machine. 
>
Definitely.

>- The MD is far from having a good building quality. (Not even close to a nord for example)
>
Huh??? It's built like a tank! I personally think its build quality is 
better than Nord (I only know Nord 1 though).
The hardware only issue for me is the knobs: both the quality (hard to 
turn and one is defective on my unit... I still have to return it) and 
the spacing between the knobs. The knobs are too close to eachother.

>- The alternative outs are not usable for 2 reasons: 1- The noise floor when using 6 outs is RIDICULOUS (louder than my TB 303!) 2- If you use any out separably (A or B or C ....) there is a decay noise (try hard panning a kick drum on st out to L and solo R on your mixer...) which really interfers with any decent sound design you may want to do.
>
I think you have a defective unit! The noise on the outputs of my unit 
is definitely not that high.

>- Apart from that there are strange noises coming from inside the MD caused by the efx card and/or LFO.
>
Yes, that was the noise I've always been refering to.

>I have adressed Elektron with these issues and I was amased that they did not noticed before.
>
Perhaps because you have a defective unit?

>Also consider the cool T-shirt that comes with it.
>
Hmmm... I didn't get one. :-)

>Peace
>Preto from Barcelona

Aaah, lucky you. I LOVE Barcelona! Great city. :-))))

Cheers,
Joeri
