dendanna Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 After searching for a good drummachine I decided to go for this baby and it sounds awesome!

aeon Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I am with MachineDrum! Yeah, lovely piece, if a niche one...great if you need percussives for many types of electronic styles, and are willing to accept some of the limitations in terms of timing resolution and the like. cheers, aeon Go tell someone you love that you love them.

dendanna Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 I mostly use this in combination with other drums, I like the fact that the sounds of the MD really cuts through your mix 12"/45 RPM Vinyl Release: STRINGS in TRANCE by Minister Now Available and Shipping World Wide! http://www.stringsintrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo-fi_guy Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yes, I am with MachineDrum as well. I really enjoy it, as aeon said it is a niche instrument but very fun to program and let your imagination go wild! Deeetroit Basketballll!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Originally posted by dendanna: I like the fact that the sounds of the MD really cuts through your mix You are not kidding! The transient response and punch of the MD SPS-1 is world-class...puts many other electronic "drum sources" to shame. The first time I heard my MD through serious amplification, the bassdrums cracked my sternum and the snares pierced my tympanums. cheers, aeon Go tell someone you love that you love them.

sidereal Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Wow, 6 audio outputs. That's pretty cool. I'm still waiting for someone to make a box that has: - multiple outs (like this one) - at least one trigger input - odd time signature sequencing - sampling capability Just for the record.

aeon Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=2129 --- Absent from both NAMM and the MESSE this year, Elektron obviously like to do things their own way, it not a strategy that has let them down so far with all of their instruments achieving modern classic status relatively quickly after release. The MachineDrum is considered by many to be the ultimate modern drum machine with it's powerful pattern based sequencer and flexible sound creation, it's capable of a huge range of sounds. The latest enhancement to the Elektron is the new MachineDrum SPS1 -UW (UserWave). The new UW adds User Sampling and the RAM for sotrage, some extra DSP coding with 32 new ROM machines for sample playback. The major news is that it now enable you to sample into the machine and store the samples for use in your kits, either in the form of single hits or loops. it's not geared up for keyboard like multi-sampling, but you get a couple of MB in which to store your favourite sounds. Daniel Hannsson, Elktron head honcho, grudgingly accepted that poeple could now include the ubiquitous 909 hat samples in their kits, though I suspect he never would. The SPS-1UW retains all of the features of the original SPS-1 and will be available world-wide from May 2005 at EUR 1590/$1640 Elektron are keen to let exisiting owners of machineDrum will be able to get their units retrofitted with the new updates at a favourable rate - details to be announced shortly. --- Comments from Daniel @ Elektron indicated an upgrade for existing MD SPS-1 owners would be roughly 1/2 of the difference in price between the two models. That comes to ~$195. At that price, it is a no-brainer! cheers, aeon Go tell someone you love that you love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for someone to make a box that has: - multiple outs (like this one) - at least one trigger input - odd time signature sequencing - sampling capability I think Roger Linn did soooooooooomething like that in the 80's Okay well im an MPC fanboy, but in terms of a drum SYNTH yeah im with you! I see no reason for there not being an eventual drum machine renaissance! I have a bunch of drum related electronics, from Roland SPD's to MPC's and a lovely Novation DrumStation that is sadly limited and a bit short sighted from Novation... whilst it has the multiple outputs (awesome!) and realtime knobs and CV output, the CPU chokes on itself... still its the closest i will let my bank balance go towards recapturing the 808 and 909. Elektron are a great niche company... reminds me in some ways of the emergence of the mighty Nord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
