I like both, I don't discriminate when it comes to music, life is too short and my taste is too wide. I lie somewhere in the middle, I like dissonance and a bit of Detroit style chords but I also like the shuffled feel of House. So minimal Tech House for me. :P Hey Dusk, I am new here too, previousl...

The player on that site plays the sounds back and a reduced bit depth, what you are hearing on the page when you audition the sounds is an artifact of this. Typically, on kicks, you get that 'thwip' as if there is a slight sound preceding the transient and an overall softer texture to the sound. I c...

I was really disappointed with what they did to it, they even thought it wise to remove the grid reference for sequencing automation. You have no idea where you are within a clip in terms of your sequencing resolution.

Yeah, it's pants.

I own a Korg EMX 1 and before that I owned a Korg ER1 mark 2, none of which are as good as a Machinedrum ( which I don't own )
