Elektron Musical Instruments

Hey all I just recieved my machinedrum.  I haven't had a huge amount of time yet to sit down with it but the programming interface seems nice.  I had a question about the inputs.  I checked the manual but it didn't talk about this.  Can I use the L+R inputs as 2 mono inputs to be processed seperatly?  Kind of like a mini mixer of sorts.  I would like to drive my monosynth of choice into one input and my xbase into the other.  I think that would make a kick ass live show.

I would probably just try it out but its a pain to rewire stuff just to find out it doesnt work.  Thanks.

Jeff,
congrats on the MD purchase! I'm sure you'll love it :-)

yes, the inputs do exactly as you want. you'll just have to use a machine
for each of them (leaving you with 2 fewer internal machine tracks); one
for input A and one for B.  I use them all the time to gate the noise
from my Sidstation.

Have fun!
Joe
