I think the MD can produce a few kinds of "dirt,"
but they are of a given character, so it may or
may not deliver given your wishes and musical
context.

I am glad you took it with some levity...I should
have included an emoticon to denote playfulness. :)

When I got my MD, I was really pleased with how
much I could do before I consulted the manual.

That said, I respectfully suggest that you may
have first impressions in the first 30 minutes,
but don't think you can know its real breadth
and depth of sound potential in that time.
I have had my MD for nearly a year at this point,
and I am *still* finding tricks and techniques
that expand my idea of what it can do.

It not only fits, but redefines the standard!
