Elektron Musical Instruments

hello all, 

please excuse my minimal knowledge of midi, but i'm trying to find a 
way to assign individual tracks (BD, SD, etc) on my MD to certain 
midi channels so that i can control patches assigned to that channel 
on my nord modular... problem is i can't seem to figure out how to 
set this up in the MD or find anything in the manual that touches on 
this subject or makes sense to me. closest thing i can find is maybe 
setting up something the midi map editor... am i on the right track? 
is this even possible to do on the MD?

i remember using the dr-202 drum machine and i was able to assign 
*just* the bass track to a particular midi channel to achieve this 
effect.

anyways, 
thanks in advance

As far as I know the Machinedrum cant do that, but you can assign them to
any midi note...wont that work for you?

As I understand it this is now possible with the newest OS.  It is called
"MIDI Machines" and it allows you to assign one or all of the parts/machines
to an external MIDI track on its own channel.  You could have up to 16
different channels being triggered on your Nord (although I know it won't do
that.  But then, of course, you wouldn't be using that wonderful Machinedrum
for its synthesis capabilities which would be a crime against humanity.

Now...can I have a Machinedrum?  I'm doing tech support on a unit I don't
even own! ;-)

Woops, I read your e-mail wrong (/me puts down the bong ((IRC humor)))

Brent is right, to control your synth from the machinedrum simply go to the
kit edit screen and at the bottom of the "Synth" list you will find "MID"
And under "Machine" there will be "MID-01" through "MID-16"...each one for
each midi channel

You do need the latest OS for the machinedrum to do this, so make sure you
have 1.10 installed...if you don't, you can get it from the machinedrum
website on the support page

beautiful.... works like a charm. looks like i bought my MD just in 
time.

btw, this drum machine is the absolute sh*t. no question!!

and thanks for your help guys
k

ps. as awesome as the MD synth capabilities are, i should spare a 
few of the 16 parts for my nord modular... its only fair for the 
nord, me thinks :)
