Re: [elektron] Machinedrum and Evolver - Live pattern switching, howto:

2003-06-20 by endlessnessisticman

Following the logic of the MD you are realising the possibilities of
the MD.  I only wish for a live recording funtion of the MD to record
midi note.  This only makes me stronger...  Show us what you made...
MP3.  No pressure intended.  It seems like the perfect couple.
