Re: [elektron] Re: Considering machinedrum purchase

I have to disagree with you here. You can have high quality reverbs in units
that aren't just fx boxes, particularly in this day in age. For instance my
Kurzweil K2500 has KDFX, which reverbs and other effects are better quality
than any of my outboard gear. And I do have good quality outboard gear. The
great thing about having FX built in, is you can store all the effect
settings galore in your pattern, song, or what not so its not a mess to keep
track of your settings and wiring. You also have more flexibility to wire
the fx anyway you want, without the hastle of using "real" cables. Again all
stored in the song, you just load it and your ready to work again.

I don't want something for nothing. In fact I'd be willing to pay up to $500
for a high quality multi-channel fx processor upgrade for the machinedrum,
just like I did with KDFX for my kurzweil.


well James, maybe I didn't articulate my point accurately enough. I refer to
the whole 'groovebox' issue. A Kurzweil is off course a pro bit of kit and
therefore not included in this 'gripe' of mine!! No offence meant!
