Elektron Musical Instruments

Just came across this...

http://www.creativesynth.com/reviews/038_MachineDrum/rev_machinedrum.html

That is just f34r4bl3...
Not even a mention to how that baby sounds... (*)
Wow, that's what I call reviewing musical gear :)

Anyway, I'm in love with the externals and the ergonomics as well

I guess the author (who is on this list I believe) is writing the 
remaining parts at the moment.

Xavier.

(*) or maybe I had my one and only neuron too busy to find a link to 
the rest of the review.
By the way, I had just purchased a Jomox Airbase 99 before hearing of 
the machinedrum... I got the MD and never switched the Jomox again. 
Am I the only one on this list ?
(and yes Mr. W. Brent Latta I am deeply struck with what you call the 
GAS = Gear Acquisition Syndrom :) !)

Well, I'm the other way around: I only buy very few things... and I keep 
them only if I really like them (but I am lucky because I can test out 
most things extensively before buying).

I have an XBase and a Machinedrum and use both extensively. Imo both 
devices don't overlap at all. I love them both and couldn't miss either one.
If you don't switch on your Airbase anymore, feel free to ship it to me. 
;-))))

Cheers,
Joeri

I also do believe they don't overlap. It's just that the MD is more 
of an all-in-one or self-usable piece of gear. Sometimes, instead of 
switching my gear on, I just grab a pair of headphones and start 
playing with the MD. Booting the computer and sequencing the Airbase 
is not that straightforward. But your post made me realize that I 
nerver thought about sequencing the Airbase with the MD..
Airbase !! Time to wake up !

What does that mean?  I couldn't piece it out...

Well, I did say it was a very subjective review didn't I?

Yes.  It is going to be probably a 3 part review, with some basic tutorials
to follow.  It was going to be a secret, but I guess the cat's out of the
bag for you guys! ;)

Apparently the review is getting quite a few hits, which is great.  The more
traffic to the website the better.  That way I keep getting cool software
and stuff to review.  (Although I actually bought the MD and offered to
review it because I love it so much.)  Next on tap is a review and tutorials
on NI Absynth...I'm pretty excited about that one.

f34r4bl3 means fearable, I don't even know whether this exists in
english or not. This was meant to tell you that your review
awoke fear in me (just joking of course).
The way it was spelled is due to overuse of elite spelling (aka leet 
or 133+) in which mixed case is used a lot as well as replacing 
characters by other symbols having more or less the same shape.
Then "e" can be "3", "l" can be "1", "g" can be "9", "s" can be 
either "$" or "5", "t" can be "+" and so on. Your imagination is the 
limit.
If you've heard about the old computer trojan "Back Orifice" : it 
used port 31337 (to be read eleet = elite).
So f34r mY 3v1L |_33+N3$$ :) 


But I just listened to Gavity from your Indicator EP, You're l33+ +00.
(just found it a bit burbly at one moment with the effects on the 
voice and the filter + delay on the bass) : you don't seem to be 
affected by the GLUS (Gear left unused syndrom) which is particularly 
shameful when associated with the GAS :)
