Elektron Musical Instruments

Thanks for your comments  Schmackofanz.
I guess you could make some sort of flanger fx
with LFO and delay.
Anyhow, i just got an email from Elektron and they
received 14 MD, well 13 now ;)

I really like the reverb.
Its by no means convincing when it comes to simulate real rooms but it adds
a very 
nice tail to the sounds of the MD.
Its sounds a bit like breathing.

There is nothing wrong with the Sample Rate reduction. Thats exactly what
SRR 
sounds like in any other soft or hardware.

There is a seperate Distortion built into some of the kick drums that is
really nasty 
and for the other sounds patching the output into the audio input and crank
the input 
sensivity always does the trick.

I agree that the delay should update the buffer more quickly.

I like the compressor and the EQ. The filters and AMD is also nice.

Some sort of flanger or phaser would be nice, but there are stiull the
seperate outputs 
to send sounds to outboard gear.

Most important is that the MD has a very unique sound and delivers a tight
groove.
It beats like a hammer.

Most of the online demos dont really show the possibilities an d the onboard
pattern 
are not really happening either.
But its so easy to make your own grooves.
