Elektron Musical Instruments

right on, Damon.  I totally agree with you; I've gotten a ton of sounds 
from the MD
that might have been easier with a sampler and a sample library, but I 
couldn't warp
and twist them nearly as much if I had gone that route. and usually the 
warping and
twisting leads to something even more interesting!

I look forward to hearing how this can be done. it's one of the few 
sounds I never
figured out how to do (it was asked in here quite some time ago, 
actually). another
one is how to get the MD to say "Elektron" (I've heard that it has been 
done).  :-)

BTW, I plan on adding a "tips and tricks" section to the files section 
of the group's
website. hopefully people can fill it with some interesting tips/tricks 
for the Elektron
machines. this reverse cymbal thing is along the lines of what I'm 
thinking of.
