Re: [elektron] Re: Machinedrum Userwave: World's most expensive sampler?

2005-04-20 by Sr. Minimo

I, for one, am very exited about upgrading my MD and
the possibilities of the UW. My first ever piece of
gear was an Ensoniq EPS-16+ and I used to do whole
tracks with very little sample time, so I'm sure  that
adding 20 seconds of sample time to a full blown
Machine Drum  is plenty. Just thinking about the
possibilities of loading vocal samples and running
them through that kick ass sequencer (AND RETRIGGERING
THEM TO DEATH!!!!!) makes my mouth water. Thank you
Elektron!!!!!!
Now, if only I didn't have to send away my MD to get
it upgraded!!!!
