Elektron Musical Instruments

I'm considering (still !)  buying the MD but i would like to hear 
what MD owners have to say about one particular aspect: can the 
MD be pushed to the extremes to create  sounds that would suit 
the darker-dirtier side of music (call it noise if you want).  Cause i  
plan to use the MD  also for different purposes other than the 
Electro-Techno, something close to:  industrial,  Trip-Hop 
(Massive Attack / Tricky but dirtier),  Noises-Gabba (think  Atari 
Teenage Riot).  

I've been listening to every possible samples i could get my 
hands on, and i heard a few examples that was in the league of 
what i'm looking for. Frankly, it sounded very promising. From all 
the review i read,  my understanding is that the Distortion FX is 
rather weak , but i was led to believe there is two stage where 
you can apply Distortion (Clip?) and one is stronger than the 
other (???). However, they also wrote that sounds can also be 
seriously  altered with the SampleBit Reducer  (i love this FX on 
the Korh ES-1, but the Distortion is a joke) and the Compressor.  
One reviewer said the Compressor can distroy anything if you're 
not careful, true ? Btw, can the compressor affect specific tracks 
or is it used as a master only ?

I recently purchase a DSI Evolver and this is the kind of Extreme 
i'm talking about.   This thing can growl  AND maintain a full 
distorted sound,  but less  thin and treble-ish like you (i) usually 
get from a  digital synth thru a stomp box.  Anyways, i realize the 
MD is not a VA synth and  is used for a different  purpose  but i 
think it shows best what i'm going for. 

Sorry for the long long question (s) guys, i just wanted to be as 
precise as possible to get a clear response.

Thank you for any comments,

Simon
