"as far as choosing the MnM drum machine over the MD: I actually use
both a lot. the MnM creates a base drum track and the MD does the more
interesting/complicated drums and spices things up a bit. I would
probably choose the MnM over the MD in instances where I want basic
drums that sound good together and can be controlled as though they
are one. but I wouldn't want to have that as my only drum machine."


That's a good idea Joe, I have been setting up a song the opposite 
way, with my MD doing the basic beat but using the MM for that would 
make sense and then get the MD to add the extra flavor.  I'm kinda 
waiting for OS 1.0 and the presets to finish my current song, I can 
get some good sounds going but work better with a starting point, I'm 
not as experienced as others here at synth sound programming, but 
working toward getting better!  

Also, are you using song mode with both machines, matching up 
everything and then recording it? I think I'm going to try that next 
instead of muting and unmuting tracks.  It's taking a bit more pre-
planning but I think end result will sound better and more put 
together for me.  -scott
