kcinsu Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 there is a large part of me that wants to sell my virus TI for one of these... I just don't know. That would free up my nords for synth sounds.... but I still would want a bread and butter synth. I've just had a fair share of bugs with the TI, which makes me frustrated enough to consider it... even though it does sound stupidly awesome.

awepittance Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 i would trade a Virus TI for an MD in a heartbeat, but definitely play with one first to see if you really want to make the switch. I think you could get a decent bread and butter synth for a lot cheaper than a Virus TI if you still felt like you needed one in the studio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidphakist Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Holy shit guys...I would NEVER trade off my TI for a MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah... After last nights jam out, I realized I couldn't part with it... Too sick sounding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureimage Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Absolutely brilliant machine. After a year of having it I bought the Monomachine. It's the best pairing in terms of gear I think I've ever come across. Can't wait for whatever Elektron have up their sleeve next. everybody check out a few Futureimage albums at juno.com, some of the finest music i have ever heard using monomachines and machinedrums Awwwww cheers man! Everyone should also check out Fluorescent Grey's Improvised Electronic Music series - pure brainfuckery at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futureimage Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Can't get enough of this thing, especially seeing as my Monomachine bricked itself a few months ago and still needs to be repaired: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evyA62te8JU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 so i've had some cash in the bank and couldn't stop myself from getting a UW+. best impulse buy ever. appreciation. currently building an interface for controlling the transport & lamp of 8/16mm film projectors with it, having a blast. also, need more cash because, want monomachine too.

soundwave Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 tip: when you start muting CTRL-AL machine tracks on the fly things can get very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 yea been re-watching that pix video on youtube for years, it's incredible how deeply bendable the sound of this thing is, and how much fun it is tweaking these knobs on the fly. one thing which i haven't figured out yet control-wise and which throws me off.. you build some patterns with kits, tweak different patterns with different kits, switch off, then the next day, it sometimes seems to have altered your kits/patterns completely, to a pretty much unrecognizable state... probably i sometimes forget to save the kit in the end or something? i've lost some potentially interesting material because of this already... gotta go to the local music shoppe now and look at the mono machine for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kokeboka Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Actress uses one of these. Does anyone know of a vst that does more or less what this does? I've been a bit disappointed with Battery, and I can't really afford to pull the trigger on a MD right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I picked up a cheap original sps-1 about 6 months ago... fucking love this thing. someday I'll upgrade to a uw mkii +drive, but the difference from what I paid for mine is about $1100 so I can't really justify that much money any time soon. sounds so good though... so good!

soundwave Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I didnt get my head around my first machinedrum, I found it was too 'minimal techno' and much preferred the more immediate IDMz of the monomachine however these guys made me think other wise and getting deeper into the machine made me realize its a keeper http://www.percussio...s/ebertbrothers I thought the UW add on wasn't that well implemented tho.

awepittance Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 very nice stuff, havent heard of those guys before this is the band that inspired me to get a machinedrum - http://upsidedownumbrella.info/ it still has beats and some IDM vibes in it but it's one of the more abstract things i've heard besides recent AE utilizing a machinedrum for the percussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerWaschbar Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Does it play well sequencing hardware over midi? I'm trying to figure out a route away from my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drahken Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 How hard is it to sync with Live? A precurosry search reveals a lot of headaches getting it to sync properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) the MD will sync as well as any other decent MIDI hardware (although the tempo delay can be glitchy using an external clock the same goes for the Mono) the big problem in this area is more the computer side of things i.e. if your running windows forget it but I have read on the Elektron forums that some dude got very solid results on Mac with a MOTU lite interface running logic. I don't know about Ableton other than the earlier versions were shit with external midi. Edited February 14, 2012 by soundwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Does it play well sequencing hardware over midi? I'm trying to figure out a route away from my laptop. yeah its pretty rock solid however the Monomachine has the better featured external sequencer/arppegiator without sacrificing internal machines or parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancolecreate Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Live is actually a piece of shit for syncing to other gear, or even other programs. If it's not the master it's confused and useless. I used to play with a girl, and when we had Live slaved up, it would literally play backwards!!!
