Re: [elektron] Anyone into Amon Tobins music?

>Last album

was amazing for me ...and a definite step forward.  Its more of an intense
listen for sure...but the textures and level of detail is awe inspiring.

Definitely not like supermodified.

BTW check Golfer v boxer on supermodifed and see if you can spot the
Morricone

>MD for hiphop
I've noticed that dnb and hiphop are all reaching for more electro sounding
beats and the MD would be perfect for that sort of sound.  I use the onboard
filters and eq to take the edge off as it can sound too sharp.

BTW - what are people making here?
Just 4/4 ? or breakz?
I like using the e12 on breakz and using the "retrig"

For me the e12 is the most interesting kit don't know why people voted FM...
