To sample or not to sample?

To sample or not to sample?

2006-01-26 by ed@madcaplabs.com

Hi, there - I'm looking to add a Machinedrum to my arsenal, and I wanted to ask those of you who have the sampling option - what does it do that's so cool that, even though I have Kontakt, Battery etc., I'm still gonna wanna play samples through my Machinedrum. Thanks in advance for yer input!

Peace and love,

Ed

hello!!!
ive just got a machinedrum (sps-1)a few days go without the 
sampling option.
I would recommend you to get the one with the sampling option.
because machinedrum is a very special instrument.the way u tweak 
the sounds is very detailed.i am sure you can do really wierd 
stuff with the sampling machines inside the machinedrum.
Iam thinking of upgrading mine as soon as i can afford it.
Elektron is such a great company.If i had the money i would get 
all their modules right now without thinking.
u have mention kontakt and battery, my opinion is that machinedrum
has got its own signature sound and i dont think there is a software.
to match its synthesis capabilities. 
and even if it does one day it woundnt be half as fun.

Actually I'm using my MD (SPS-1 no UW) to control Vemberaudio's 
Shortcircuit softsampler. I think this is quite cool! You've got the 
nice sequencer (with parameter locks and all) from the MD and then the 
awesome soundmangling capabilities of Shortcircuit. A nice combo!

Cheers,
Mikael
