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

=> It's just that i'm well aware that my questions
might lead to believe i'm a debutant in the electronic
world. And this is true regarding electronic gears and
Mixing, i bought my first synth 2 years ago. I do have
good basics in guitar though ;)

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.

=> Yes of course

It not only fits, but redefines the standard!

=> Someone wrote something like "it's like Kraftwerk
on acid". I also like Autechre and i know the MD
is great for that metallic sound. So  those sound are covered
but the problem with me is i also want to use  synthetised drums
where you rarely hear them. That's why i'm asking
so many questions ;)

be well,
aeon

=> Thanks again
