Re: [elektron] knobs... on MD

2002-11-22 by merlinpipo

Hello all,

I think it makes more sense the way it is now.
To me, it is more intuitive in a live situation to have the
knobs transmitting large increments when pushed.
This way we avoid unwanted moves of the know to lead to a screwed-up 
sound and we can tweak smoothly.
If I want a dramatic sound change, sure I'll push hard for it (that's 
the way I feel when playing)

and for something completely different :
I am reading all the SAMpler stuff with interest, does anyone have
a sample "voice" from the SAM software to upload in the files so that
I (and others) could understand how amazing that piece of software 
was ?

Thanx in advance

Xavier
