Elektron Musical Instruments

I was checking out a friends machinedrum last night and we couldn;t 
figure out if it was possible to use the machinedrum via MIDI to  
select midi note numbers on various external sound modules, and if 
it's possible to control things like velocity and volume too. i know 
the MIDI control is quite extensive in the other direction, but is 
anyone using the machinedrum to sequence patterns that are then 
triggered by external sound racks?

You can control velocity but it's not like an Akai pad.  The sequencer
requires alot of programming with a very simple user interface.  It's
not easy but you need patience to program it that way.  The basic fact
is you can't record velocity and volume in real time.  At least that's
what I know...  I wish there was more realtime recording.  (My only
peave.)

thanks for the info. can you at least select the midi note you want 
tramsmitted? we couldn;t seem to figure out where to do that.

Did any other US customers here get an invoice from FedEx for taxes a
few weeks AFTER the arrival of a machinedrum? What is this about?  $63!

Yeah, that's the duties for bringing it into the country.  elektron 
shows you this fee on page 4 of the order page, right before you get 
thrown to the credit card entry page.  Walk through a partial order as 
though you were going to buy a machinedrum to see it.
