Elektron Musical Instruments

Ronald,

I have bombarded this site with similar questions cause
i'm not in to "the ubiquitous four-on-the-floor dance and techno".
I'm more into industrial, experimental music and rock.

I decided to give it a try, and man i'm glad i did.
It has a special digital sound that is not for everyone but
the complete control over all parameters (on every step !)
+ internal and external sequencing is waht did it for me.

Everyone is saying it'S one of the best UI, and they are right imho.
I just spent a few hours with it (received it last week) but
enough to keep it.

And as other mentionned, please don't rely on the demos to
make your choice. I'm sorry guys, but they're really bad and too
HQ and trebley imo.

I now see the MD as an instrument, not just a beatbox.

Good luck with you dilemma ;)

Simon

Does anyone here use their Machinedrum for music other than the
ubiquitous four-on-the-floor dance and techno?

I'm considering purchase of a MD for creating rhythmic sounds and
structures in my improvised Berlin-School inspired electronic music. I
*think* it would be a good fit, given the extensive synthesis
abilities, and real-time interface. Does anyone have experience with
taking the MD into other musical genres?
