Hi Bjørn

Good thing! I don't know of any MD's in Bergen, you're probably the 
first! :-)

I'm not a big fan of "buekorps" sounds, even though I lived in Bergen 
for a year. (Maybe that's why) :-) But try making any odd sound, it 
will lead you to new sounds that you wouldn't believe could come from 
the MD. I've gotten several punchy basses, nice strings and twang 
guitar from it! Also, try the EFM sounds for Pole/Basic Channel-style 
synth sounds. There's a range of melodic sounds to be squeezed from 
it as well, try the TRX and the EFM sounds. My cousin managed to make 
the MD say "ELEKTRON". :-) 

Good luck with your programming!

Regards,

Nils
