Thanks for your comments Schmackofanz. I guess you could make some sort of flanger fx with LFO and delay. Anyhow, i just got an email from Elektron and they

I really like the reverb. Its by no means convincing when it comes to simulate real rooms but it adds a very nice tail to the sounds of the MD. Its sounds a

Ok, so far what i read about what users think of MD FX: The distortion is weak. The Sample rate reduction is unusable (not strong enough) The reverb is cheap

... I think the MD can produce a few kinds of dirt, but they are of a given character, so it may or may not deliver given your wishes and musical context.
