$49 for a friggin T-shirt???  I understand boutique instrument premiums, 
but that's a bit much for printed logo t-shirt.

Re: [elektron] Elektron website redesigned

Yeah, kinda funny.  The last few days I was like "Man, I wish Elektron
still had some of their MD shirts".  Then I see these and get happy.

Then I see the price and get sad.  Maybe they come with a free TM-1?  :)

Ordered and confirmed.  $70 including shipping is a decent price me think.

Same here, if only to maintain the resale value of the UW kit.  10x  
sample transfer might mean I actually transfer some samples again :)

Honestl;y, the sample transfer time doesn't bother me at all.  but if
this in anyway improves the way the MD syncs with ableton live, I'll
be happy.  It's not bad now, but I do hear a bit of drift now and

Let us know about the tighter timing.  I don't own a UW, but if it 
improves the accuracy of the midi timing like it claims,  I'll buy.

Is the timing really so bad now?  I hadn't noticed on my MD.

No, it's internal timing is fine,  but I was referencing Tarekith's 
statement about use of Live driving timing for all devices.

Re: [elektron] turbo midi

2006-10-01 by Tarekith

Even using Live (or SX) to drive it, it's not that bad at all.  But
sometimes I can hear it slipping just a little bit.

ordered TM-1 today.  I am also interested in the SPS-1's timing when

Any news yet tarekith?

Re: [elektron] turbo midi

I wish there was a bit more info on the Turbo thingy.  At least if it was
available in the "Friends" page only.  Even pictures of it would be great.
 I ordered one already, but still.

For example I wuold like to know more about how to connect it, if a
Mchinedrum and a Monomachine can share the same unit, or if you need one
for each, etc..

 From what I've gathered from the announcement, you can use the TM-1 for 
both monomachine and machinedrum.... as in it will work for both 
machines with no special kind of configuration.  You just plug your MD 
or Mono into it.

I do not believe it implies you could use it simultaneously.

Out from TM-1 to your MD midi in. Midi out from your MD to TM-1 in.

Since it uses both the midi in/out on the MD/MM when connected it is not 
possible to connect it to two devices at the same time. Haven't tried it 
with midi thru and a midi merger though, but I doubt that it will work.

ooh fascinating. how well do you all think this would work for live
applications? what i mean is would it be possible to use your computer
as a sample dump where you can drag and drop new samples into the TM/
MD quick enough for live use?

Re: [elektron] turbo midi

2006-10-02 by roby@sweet-trip.net

yeah, both at once is what i meant.  i just read it has one MIDI in and
one MIDI out, only, so i guess it's one at a time.  chaining
turbo->MD->MnM probably wont work very fast at the MnM end... I wonder

Re: [elektron] turbo midi

This is what daniel from elektron wrote ont he Elektron forums:

"About sync improvements - with TurboMIDI x8 or x10 you do not have
any hardware limits on getting dead tight sync at least!

About syncing several machines -
If you want to sync two machines from your computer, and it is kind
enough to output reliable sync. And, if both your machines defaults to
the same speed, you could already try a trick using the through-port
to sync to the second (and third and so on). They would respond and
think they were part of the speed negotiation. Worth trying!

For the future: The protocol supports hard set speeds though, so with
upgrades of C6 and/or the MD+Mono you could hard set the MIDI speed
for all the units included in the link.

Non-turbo-devices should not be let into the MIDI link when in turbo
mode though. It would be impossible to say what they would decode from
the stream. :)

Neat!  sounds like one TM is enough for both as long as both units are,
essentially, Elektron machines.

for now you need to be an elektron friend to buy it.  when you log in to

will be made available to the public after Oct. 8th.

may be a time-based offer.  i've been a friend of elektron and don't see the
offer or the product either in the friend section.

you need to login. but you did that? I still see it when I login at the friends-section. the deal is for 100 units maxium, or to 8th October. some 20% off, or something.

They said it was only good for the first 100 units in their email.

Turbo midi : so what ?

2006-10-03 by onosendai@free.fr

I'm sorry but i don't understand why Turbo Midi is a good thing...

It's only a USB like speed midi transfert isn't it ? Do we need to pay 60 euros
for that ? Just to speed up sample transfert ? Or worst, to fix the sync
problem we all have with MD ?

I don't understand why my MD can't sync with Live, my other gear can do that
well so the problem came from the heart of MD, not from anywhere else.

For me, Turbo Midi is just an hardware fix (we have to pay)

But maybe i'm wrong ?

Re: Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

2006-10-03 by Scott Kellogg

No, no, no, no, no.

Turbo MIDI enhances the ancient and slow MIDI specification so samples
may be transferred much more quickly from a computer to the UW.  As a
side effect, it also increases the resolution of the MIDI timing.  The
UW can sync to a computer just as well as any other MIDI device
without Turbo MIDI.

Ok, I get it now.

I dont need it.

I havnt had any sync problems, and I dont have the UW (and no intention 
of getting it either).

Re: Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

2006-10-03 by onosendai@free.fr

Well, we use midi since more than ten years and i never heard someone complain
about slow midi specification... Think about Jarre, Tangerine Dreams and
Vangelis, how many synth they use with "simple" midi ?

By the way, the future of midi already exist : it's OSC (for OpenSoundControl).
Native Instruments use OSC (and midi) with all of their product. So i don't
understand why Elektron have to think about a new kind of format.

It's a bit weird to me :/

Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

Exactly!  It's just an added feature for the UW if you want superfast sample
transfers.  I can live with the slow MIDI sample transfer times -- it gives
me time to think ;0

It's not a new format.  It's an evolution of the MIDI specification, which
dates from 1982.

Re: Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

2006-10-03 by Edward George

well the midi specification bit may be a bit misleading? though there will
be a completely different protocol (no status bit maybe) surely any changes
to the data layer aren't going to need a new piece of hardware, it must be a
change at the physical level. Somebody mentioned something once about using
all the pins, maybe they're running their own parallel data stream over a
connection that is normally just serial or something? i dunno! I'll
definately be having a peek at the stream when mine arrives :)

Good point.  I'm no technical guru when it comes to MIDI.  What you say does
correlate with my dim recollection of what has been said about Turbo MIDI.

Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

2006-10-03 by Tony Scharf

Which begs another question.  How will it effect timing issues?  I mean, 
if Cubase is still putting out MIDI clock at the same rate, using 
standard midi format, how is the driver for the turbo-midi device going 
to somehow improve that?

something about this just doesnt add up in my head.

My UW syncs fine with Live as well. Just need to offset the midi clock to 
-20ms to have it spot on.
Sometimes, when doing crazy stuff with midi in live, it offsets a bit and 
doesn't recover but the tempo is still ok. All it takes is to restart the 
engine. And I'm almost sure this is a problem with Live and not with the MD.

What kind of sync problems do you have? and what interface/system are you 
using?

And do you have any problems syncing the MD to other hardware gear?

well the greater the bandwidth the less likely it is that the computer will
need to send a timing byte down the wire whilst it is also sending note
data, so the less likely it is that any messages will be sent late because
they had to wait for previous messages.

i am just making this up as i go along, but the midi standard runs at 31,250
bps according to Wikipedia which means that if a note on message is being
transmitted which iirc is 3 bytes then we'll have to wait 30 bits (the midi
spec adds two extra bits per byte i think) of data before we can send the
midi clock message which is 30/31250 = 0.00096s which is almost a
millisecond.

i think that's right :S

exactly..but higher resolution will NOT improve timing unless there is 
some kind of algorithm that tries to fix the incoming clock (which in my 
mind would probably just skew the clock more.

Think of it this way - if you use a sampler, and sample at 4khz, then 
you resample it at 44.1khz, your not suddenly going to have a higher 
quality sample..

Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

I think we're wagging the dog a bit here.  Turbo MIDI's primary function is
to increase sample transfer time to the UW.  Anything beyond that is gravy.

These timing benefits sound awfully sketchy.  If you can't

don't know what expanded bandwidth will necessarily buy you.

Its like this...without some kind of changes in the software generating 
the code, the midi clock will be the same as it was.  Stienberg and 
(then) emagic both came out with their own proprietary interfaces to 
tackle MIDI timing problems in the late 90's, but both only worked with 
their own software specificaly because it required a low level 
interaction with the source clock..

I dont see how this timing benefit will matericalize.  It sounds like 
marketing crap to me..

for myself, I get pretty much perfect sync with cubase on my pc with a 
UM880, with the exception of how the MD handles (or rather doesnt) 
handle Song Position Pointer.   My other gear handles it...just not the MD.

If it is only used to speed up sample transfers for the UW, why does

for getting tighter sync, apparently.

also if you like to use your MnM for sequencing software,
theoretically the turboMIDI provides greater bandwith....so less drop
outs etc.

I guess

Elektron Style! Model A

We never force anyone to buy anything we do. We refuse however to do
quick cheap stuff and intend to do exclusive things, whatever it may be.

Maybe I can comfort you with the knowledge of that we have never made
any money of any of the accessories (the bag, the stickers, posters
etc) in the end. 

USD 49 for a limited designer t-shirt - _including_ world shipping
would not get in my way to get it if I liked it. Appearently neither
other people. Also consider te dollars all time (or at least 10 years)
low to the European currencies.

We love however to do unique stuff that makes a difference and put our
nose into different areas, as long as it's fun and creative. Lucky
enough we've received much praise as well for our non-standard
approach. :)

---

The Good Night Story about the little Model A t-shirt follows here:

The goal we had with Elektron Style Model A was to do a tee that
didn't smell "promotion", rather something you can wear with pride.
Still we wanted to go big with the Elektron logo.

We did much investigation before going for this one. We really like
more open necks (not the oh so hated strangler-neck), and finally
found one that could fit into a low-number-print. We wanted discrete
colors with print, but real big ones. The Model A had to be the plain
Elektron-print. But the idea of putting the same logo on the same
positions for both back and front came from my all-time favourite
adidas t-shirt.

The colors for the fabric were sampled from different of our favourite
clothing, then analysed at the coloring company. 

Also the printing were done on unbleached cotton, so we couldn't tell
exactly what the resulting color would be after the dying process
beforehand. The company we worked with though were very competent, and
we got the kind of not-so-easy-to-tell-colors that we wanted.

The print was printed before the dying was performed, making the print
a part of the t-shirt - you can't really feel it by hand. This also
got the "worn" feeling of the print that we wanted, and provided a dye
that really do not come of. Wash together with other stuff, even the
first time.

Also we chose to print in the neck rather than any more tag than the
one most necessary little one that is telling the size.

You should never look the Elektron way if you want "value for money".
We're too small and we're not located neither produce the numbers to
be able to utilise the low "world economy" prices. We want hoevever do
something special with all we do, and put our soul into it. So far
we're still here!

Another part on if our stuff being high priced or not... Always
remember that shipping is included in all our prices. The price you
see is exactly what you pay. Then we see to that you get it delivered
to your door. If we wanted we could print 39, then during the checkout
add 10 for shipping, but we've chosen the other way. WYSIWYG, old
Amiga term. :)

Now go to the mall or where you prefer to buy clothes and see if you
can't find a tee that you like that cost more than the USD 49 we ask
for ours. Then consider if it is a unique low-volume tee, designed,
printed and dyed in a western country. Check it's origin. I can bet
there are around 10k of the same made in a third world country. That
is if you do not go really expensive.

Don't really know why I'm defending our dear Model A here, but I guess
that constantly being meassured price-wise against companies using the
mass market and underpayed third-world employees tickle my defence
button, and sometimes I get the urge to tell the whole story from my
view. :)

You can see the actual number of t-shirts we have left in stock. I
have no idea if there will be any reprint. As usual - If you want it,
get it while it's here. There are still all colors and all sizes left!

Daniel


PS. If you want a standard Beefy Hanes (or similar) that screams
promotional, you could probably find a motive at elektron.se/press and
print it. You would violate our copyright but chances are good you
would get away with it.
