Elektron Musical Instruments

I did a little set with my MD and a fatman I built and a mixer.  I 
could do some weird raw sht with the fatman routed to the md.  I 
still can't get a good bass out of the fatman, but it is a cheezy box 
anyway.  But you can get some good acid sounds out of it with enough 
effects.  You also got to build the thing.  The 777 would be a better 
box.  But the fatman cost @ $150.

I was using the MD for the bass, which it does well but it's hard to 
get the notes right.  I wish there was a bass machine on the md with 
real note parameters like the midi.  I guess idealy it would be like 
the B2 machine with "note" instead of "pitch".  Anyone know how the 
pitch is related to notes?
