Elektron Musical Instruments

I'd say the MD is pretty easy to use. Read the manual as you play along and
you'll have the
basics down within an hour, even with a basic knowledge of synthesis. It
might have seemed
confusing since you were only reading the PDF without the gear in front of
you to tweak.
Especially if yer just getting started in synthesis/electronic music, it
could probably seem rather
abstract to grasp a machines interface and flow from it's manual only.

I wouldn't say it's blasphemy at all to use it as a soundmod. I control it
from within Cubase
and do all my compositions in Cubase's editors. But you can set it up how
ever you like.
I must add the fact that I don't actually own one personally though. I
borrowed it from my
music partner for a couple of weeks. When I get the cash I'll buy for
myself.

Enjoy.
