Re: [elektron] MD...Soon to buy...a few questions first.

2002-08-07 by rob.euroh1@virgin.net

The e12 is very much a direct copy of the preset sounds that came with the
EMU SP12.
The major difference being that you tweek the hell out of them and so go far
beyond the 'Hip Hop'feel you're refering to.  - Although I must say, If you
don't tweek, then you will sound blatantly 80s. If you want very basic drum
machine flavour the Init  kit is also very DR55 sounding so more 80's magic
there too.

Just buy one - You won't regret it!

Others may agree with this, you buy the MD for a specific purpose or
requirement, but always end up going that significant step further. As far
as it goes, the MD is the new standard in electronic percussion

My MD has NEVER misbehaved (touch wood).

Hi All-
I am looking into buying a MD very soon, and I have a few questions:

1. How well does the E12 synth work for creating those old school hip-
hop type sounds? Is it possible to give a sound that 8 bit beauty of
yesteryear?

2. Has Elektron weeded out the hardware problems that some people
seem to be suffering? I'd hate to get one and then have to send it
back immediately.

Just a few thoughts before I take the plunge...any info is definately
appreciated!

Thanks,
Brooks
