Hi,
I create my Kicks/Bassdrums by layering various Samples (e.g. Vengeance Minimal House and Vengeance Electro Essentials) and i get great results, but somehow i want to buy a Elektron Machinedrum
My question is:
Is the Machinedrum capable of producing REALLY good sounding Kicks from scratch or do i still need heavy EQing and compression to achieve the quality of current Minimal Techno/House productions?
PS: I am asking this, because all the MP3 demos on the Elektron page sounded kinda crappy and totally not worth the money ... but since a lot of you guys are using this machine there has to be something special about it

a lot of what makes the md so special to me is not the sound that it produces but its specific modus operandi. i love how it works, sure there are a few things that i wish i had control over as far as the synthesis machines are concerned, but my god it is so great in so many other ways. so freakin intuitive to use. my favorite bit of kit to use for sure. try it out.

i agree. a match made in heaven.fredrik_h wrote:for me, the kicks are the most important thing from the jomox, I can live without the rest... I got the Mbase01 (jomox standalone kick generator) and I'd get an MD and trig the mbase through it if I were you.
just a little suggestion...
