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

2002-10-17 by merlinpipo

I have in the past wished that such features could be integrated
in the MD... and I'd be damn happy if they happened to.
But I'd like to stress one point :

in one of your previous mail (the one that started the topic), you 
said that if your desires were fullfilled, you'd probably get rid of 
your additional equipment, relying on the sheer power and flexibility 
of the MD. If I keep on thinking the same way, I guess you would not 
need to buy other sound generating gear further, would you ?
And this would make companies, and Elektron first, out of the 
business... unless they would get you to pay for the firmware updates.
Elektron are maybe working on some synth stuff (who knows?) that 
would fit your needs better, offer some alternate fine product from 
Elektron to people not necessarily interested in a pattern-
based "groovebox", and that would even enable Elektron to earn their 
living.
So please consider this before urging Elektron to answer your 
prayers, keep considering the "drum machine" scope and don't be that 
sure that your ideas about a definitive dream-MD are the one and only.
 
Please, no pissed-off style reply.
