Re: [elektron] OK... Help to make a choice between Rack Attack and MachineDrum

2002-09-10 by Kraken

Salud!

I have the Machinedrum and Attack softsynth. I like the Attack bassdrums
more than the MD's, but overall, I turn to the MD time and time again. I
don't know if the Rack Attack has a sequencer. Both have a wiiiiiide sonic
range, and you'll love them both. If you're into electro, I suppose you
should choose the MD. If you prefer modern dance music, maybe the Attack is
preferable. Try to listen the two machines and think about the music you
want to do.

Anyway, the Rack Attack is a lot cheaper, and it sounds great. You can buy
the MD later.

But when you buy the MD, you'll get addicted to it. It's a killer. Making
original rhythms with it is natural.

K!
