MD or no MD

2003-04-02 by David Brännvall

Dear all, 

I am about to put together a compact live rig. I want to prewire/mount the whole thing in a cool aliminium suitcase, ie I should only have to open it, plug in the power and get busy.

I don't own any hardware sequencers, and I was thinking about buying a MachineDrum for sequencing & drums. I have a MicroModular (mm), SidStation (ss), microKORG (mk). The idea is to have a signal chain similar to this.

SS into MD
MK into MM
MM into MD

I will probably replace the MK with something smaller, like another MM or maby even a G2 engine (if I can afford it) when they are available.

This way I don't haveto use a mixer, and the MD and MM can act as fx boxes to.

I should be able to squeeze in atleast one more synth without adding a mixer. but I can always buy one of those tiny mixers if I really need more instruments.

What do you think about sequencing other gear with the MD?
Is the MD easy to work with (live)?
Are there any quirks I should be aware of?
Any other sequencers I should consider?
Blablabla etc?

regards,
David
