Elektron Musical Instruments

hi

>Brandon

Are you the Korg guy off the Oasys list?
Perhaps you already have a Electribe MX to toy with ;)


I would prefer that the sounds that "intially" come out are bright rather
than dull
which is the case with the MD.  This is a far better position when you come
to mixing/mastering as its easier to get it to sit by eq'ing the hi freq.
off.

You can use the onboard (per 16 machines) filter, eq to take the edge off or
even add bit reduction.

It also has a further mastering section with reverb and compression.
