Elektron Musical Instruments

send a message to support/contact. then perhaps they'll respond!

fwiw-- I agree.

in other news, I started using the filters and eqs more
agressively on some kits and *damn* if that doesn't open a bunch
more doors. although the filters strike my ears as thin and
whistly, used judicously with some eq'ing they can tranform the
pure electro sound of the raw machines into some very warm
musical hits. trying to get away from thinking of the MD as a
pure drum machine, and more as seq-synth-mixer-in-a-box...

: Don't get me wrong, I love my MD.  It just seems that
: a few things
: could make this the ultimate box that could
: revolutionize a whole new
: sound.  The programmers have done an excellent job of
: focusing on
: the "live playability" aspects of this machine,
: especially reacting
: well to user's needs in their latest OS.  I think that
: three things
: would make this machine ultimate.  First of all, I
: can't stress how
: important it is to implament slide, swing, and accent on each
: individual track.  The ability to choose which tracks
: to use each
: feature on would make this machine far more musical.
: Secondly, two
: new machine should be added to compliment the sine
: wave... a square
: wave and a saw wave.  There should also be an ADSR
: control for all
: three waves and a tuning that shows the notes.
: Actually, I guess
: that there are only two things.  If these things could
: be done,
: Elektron will go down in history as the greatest.  I
: would even get
: rid of everything else that I owned.  This has to be done.
