Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello and welcome;;

The 'insert' (like distortion and bit reduction) are all available for all
machine. You cannot decide the order though ; this is hardwired. Knowing if
the MD will suit your style is difficult to know without knowing references
to what you'd like to do. But it is certainly a very versatile machine in
terms of sonic possibilities

Hope this helps

I'm into all things electronic : dub, quirky house, soundscapes, 
leftfield disco, minimal & deep techno, etc. you see the picture ? 
fave artists/labels include maurizio, prelude, west end, chain 
reaction, environ, etc.

what I'm after is a good meat and potato drum machine that will both 
emulate the classic drumboxes such as TR and SP, AND something that 
allows me to explore unexplored sonic territories, AND something that 
I can work on a standalone basis. I also want it very "crunchy" 
and "gritty"

my current set up is somehow limited to a sampler, three vintage 
analog synths (two poly, one mono) some vintage effect units (space 
echo, ensoniq dp4) and a PC to add "the digital edge" and 
sequencing/mixing. I like to work on actual machines rather than VSTi 
for obvious reasons, although I tend to do more and more stuff in the 
PC. but it all depends on what vibe I'm after.

I've got a waldorf Q which I am selling at the moment and I want to 
use the spare cash to buy a machinedrum.

hope that'll help you answering

You'll definitely get classic sounds and have plenty of possibilities for
creative work/fucked up sounds. So far, we haven't see much people
complaining about the MD since it appeared. There are glitches here and
there but all in all it is a very nice piece of work and Elektron is always
very responsive to user suggestions.

Hope this helps

The Machinedrum sounds like what you need. :)

As long as you are willing to experiment with the MD, you will most
probably be satisfied.

Hi,

If you work with any kind of rhythm, this box is something special. If you would like to experiment using a great hardware sequencer this box is for you. If you want something a bit different from the herd this box is for you.
