Re: Machinedrum "could" be revolutionary.... almost

2002-10-17 by bachypham

I just remembered what my third idea was.  It would be incredibly, 
wonderously, magnificent if parameter locks could be made where there 
was no note being triggered.  A sine wave could be played and 
sustained while the parameters sweeped about in any tailored 
fashion... imagine the possibilities.  This would be the most 
powerful synth!!!...   If these three things could be done, I would 
even sell my sh3... maybe not.  But these three things will be all 
that I will ever ask of Elektron.
