Elektron Musical Instruments

hi

Just wondering if anyone is into Amon Tobin's style of downtempo electro
breakz?
And if anyone is producing stuff like his on the MachineDrum...

hi

Actually he uses a s6000, Sh101, Mackie D8b, Fireworx, Mutator, Cubase on G4
lots n lots of plugins
Nord electro - (i guess because it has a fast action) 2003 Kit

He's never used an MPC according to the info i have? only akai samplers and
keying in samples by keyboard - I was surprised by this

your right its almost all samples

Still i think this Machinedrum could knock out some cool electro beats like
in his latest Out there from out where.

I use the filters to knock of the sharpness and get some of the flavour.

was amazing for me ...and a definite step forward.  Its more of an intense
listen for sure...but the textures and level of detail is awe inspiring.

Definitely not like supermodified.

BTW check Golfer v boxer on supermodifed and see if you can spot the
Morricone

>MD for hiphop
I've noticed that dnb and hiphop are all reaching for more electro sounding
beats and the MD would be perfect for that sort of sound.  I use the onboard
filters and eq to take the edge off as it can sound too sharp.

BTW - what are people making here?
Just 4/4 ? or breakz?
I like using the e12 on breakz and using the "retrig"

For me the e12 is the most interesting kit don't know why people voted FM...

I'm just discovering the e12 pssoblities.  It's great for making synth
sounds too.  EFM sounds like your usual techno sounds.  I try to use a
little of all.  I like the CB from efm, the hh from ?p?, bd from trx,
etc.  I also like to use alot of lfos.  That's what they are there for
right?  

I did a little cool break beat track with the MD last night through a
timed lfo on the filter of my Virus.  Sounded very  early Funkstorung
to me.  I'll get some things up somewhere real soon.  I have to record
some old stuff I have on minidisc.  Once I have a few tracks together.  

I like to get a little 4/4 and breakz.  But breaks are more fun.

I just started getting into using Kontakt so I'm going to get some
samples in my music soon.  Gonna make some stories...

  E12 machines are pretty nice... But I'm starting to get really into 
messing with the PI ones.  Really interesting sounds possible, and 
very easy to infuse some of the latin-style flavor I've been looking 
for (tablas, congas, etc, no problem w/ the PI tom as a starting 
point)

Have a look at this kit, 
http://electronics.audiopervert.com/sidstation_rack.htm

looks quite kool to me. some more pics would be nice though.

/d

Look in the Photos section here.  Some Elektron mods.
