Re: [elektron] MD vs RackAttack

2002-11-12 by Tony

Actually, I can blame YOU for bringing me here...All the talk on the 
musicbar about the MD has got my gear-lust up again.  Its such a sexy 
looking little beast, and it would sit perfectly on that large empty 
spot on my virus kc :)

I like the soft-attack.  I fiddle with it during my long (1 1/2 hour) 
train rides to/from downtown everyday.  I come up with lots of wierd 
little squips and squabs and some very interesting sounding loops.  I 
load them into my sampler and tweek them out futher...but im missing 
the tactile feel of a drum machine!.  I loved the electribe 
sequencer, and HATED its sound engine.  Im glad the MD exists!  I 
just wish I could find one stateside to play with..

Thanks!

Tony
