Elektron Musical Instruments

I have my MD hooked up through a midi router to a Vermona DRM1, and I 
use the MD's midi machines to control the DRM1.  In my default Vermona 
kit I have the "BD" key set up to trigger the first module of the 
Vermona.  The last few slots on the MD are left over for internal 
sounds and I use these quite a bit.  But, when I edit the LFOs on any 
of the machines, every time I turn an edit knob (while in LFO mode) 
the MD triggers the DRM1's module in the "BD" slot.  So I turn it 5 
ticks, and each tick the DRM1 goes "bump."  Anybody else have this 
issue?  This seems to only happen with the first drum slot, and only 
when a midi machine is assigned there.

It's ok, though - I love my MD anyway!

Doesn't "monomachine" sound like some kind of bioterror weapon?

Funny.  Ha ha.  The "war on terror"(wot?) is no joke.  (snicker)  
Funny.

I only use the midi machines at the end never the first BD spot.  

I like to second the notion that if this thing is expensive they 
should have a cheaper non keyboard version.  That effects idea of 
having alot of inputs is interesting.  Hopefully it'll have a 
sampling feature like the new roland kb and a little hard drive.  
This better be good because these are the things that can take a good 
company down.  

Oh, and I like to add.  There was another article in The Wire 
magazine that mentioned the SID station.  It was in an article about 
a group called Supersilent in Norway.  The guy said, "Very noisy. 
Even if you don't play it, it pops and crackles - a beautiful 
instrument."  

Is this true?  Does the SID make sound on it's own?

Apparently two of the members are working on a project that is 
described as "an album of improvised music for church organ and SID-
station."  Cool.

Absolutely, but it¹s really a Œrecognizable¹ noise. In other words, it
doesn¹t sound like bad cables or 60Mhz hum.

It¹s the SIDSTATION¹s own noise. It sounds like the electricity is about to
explode. 

I don¹t even think it¹s worth it (or right) to buy a gate to quiet this
noise. 

When the SID is in the mix, one should let the SIDSTATION be itself. :-)

Seriously, the noise isn¹t a problem for me.

Yup,  I'm the same, bought myself a gate and finally never used it.  I  
like the noise....very soothing
