Re: [elektron] Rack Attack & Machinedrum

2003-06-22 by Raj

I really wanna see velocity data stored in the sequencer... i know people
say you can do it with vol. locks and accent but when you just wanna knock
out a beat on the keyboard and retain feel...it isn't quite the same going
back and adding the little tweaks

Is it confirmed the sequencer cannot be updated?

I mean when your creating something more dynamic like breakz i think
velocity is essential

I agree with Mat with regards to us being the primary market for any future
releases from elektron. So follows that they would want to impress us with a
machinedrum update...to keep the loyal customer base
