Re: [elektron] drill n bass on MD

2003-11-03 by damon

I've been known to experiment in the drill'n'bass on occasion.  ;-]

I have no idea how i'd begin to approach doing it on the machinedrum.   
Well, controlled drill'n'bass anyway.  It's too rigid...  You could  
torque out some chunks that might shred up right well, layering up  
retrigs on toms and hats and snares with ghosts doing the same with  
lfos on the delays and the trig times... i've done some things on the  
MD this way, but it's just not enough control.

  I use a yamaha qy70 for triggering things in that way off the  
machinedrum or my 808 or my micro mod... works wonderfully.
