Hey thanks Shagghie ...and don't get me wrong, it's not like I would kick the MD out of bed or anything, if you know what I mean. I know I can bang something out of a Jomox which is a lot less flexible as far as sequencing goes compared to MD or Electribes. I think Magpie also has a point in that the EMX (or ESX) probably gets you most of the way to what the MD does, for a lot less. I guess the MD is creme of the crop when it comes to sequencing flexibility.Shagghie wrote:Just wanted to say "We've all been there".... especially myself.Yatmandu wrote:Ok, it seems I hit a few nerves. I guess I have never played with a MD - only heard others using them, but I do use a Jomox and I was going by what I perceived. It's all cool. We can't all be fans of the exact same gear or that would end up being kind of boring.
Also I'm pretty new to making electronic music so I definitely don't talk from much experience (although I have been listening to electronic music for a long time). I just happen to be an opinionated newb, that's all!
One thing about gear is that each piece speaks to us differently, and unless we dedicate a considerable amount of time with something, and RTFM it, etc...it's hard to speak definitively about anything. To your credit...the one thing the Jomox gear does inDEED have...is balls. It's just that the Elektron gear also has balls, and they are made of solid Beryllium .
Anyway, just wanted to say mad respect for responding as you have...very humbling to read. Not sure I ever responded the same, when I used to tout how my mbase01 'gave my MD mk1 the 'kick' it needed'. Been there done that! :p
Anyway, it's all good -- the more toys and more competition out there, the better it is for us.
