Hi,

It does have a nice display and lots of buttons next to the screen where you
can adjust things quickly (like Akai S5/6000), but the OS could indeed be
much better. I wanted to do a Sounddiver adaptation but the WSA doesn't
support that kind of SysEx.... stuck with the way it is now. :-(

I suggest to first see what Machinedrum 1 brings us. :-)

Very true! The picture on their site shows that there are some knobs on it,
which would allow for good synthesis, but then the display would have to be
good too. Since they already surprised me already with the nice grafics on
the SidStation's silly display, I'm sure they'll make good use of the
Machinedrum's display. (I like the boot-up screen of the SidStation a lot
:-)

> By the way: where are you from

Belgium, near Kortrijk, in the middle of nowhere. :-) Although that last
thing isn't true: 2.5hours from Paris, 3 hours from London, 3 hours from
K\ufffdln and Amsterdam, too many hours from G\ufffdteborg. :-)))

> are you in music business

Yep.

Me? :-)
Ehm yes, that's me. What do you want to know about it? The funny thing about
that set is that there are still many sounds left, and there are some new
ones as well.... hmmm.... what would happen with those sounds? ;-)

Ciao,
Joeri
