Re: one more question about the machinedrum

2003-07-19 by schmackofanz

The case is built like a tank and the knobs seem to be very reliable too.
I did have an issue with the powersupply and/or internal fuse but Elektron fixed it.
Took them 2 weeks though which i found a bit too long especially because it 
happened after the first week of ownership.
They took care of all the shipping cost.
From the phonecalls i found them to be very friendly and cool.
They seem to be a bit on the freaky side but i like that.

Havent found any real bugs sofar. I hate the fact that the delay screws up when you 
change patterns that use different delay settings but i guess thats something that 
simply cant be fixed because the delaybuffers must be cleared anyway.

best
Hans
