Re: Mono Machine module? Anyone?

2003-08-20 by endlessnessisticman

I want to say here that I do not play the keyboard well, but it is a 
better way for me to come up with a melody or bass line.  I'm learning 
about traditional keys every time i sit down and come up with a chord 
progression or some other synth line.  

I have a track I'm working on now that I actually play.  But it is 
only three notes and I still mess it up.  I think you can have that 
jazz like time change expression thing going on with a keyboard.  

Elektron better have decent keys for it for all this trouble they have 
had.  As I said before, I'm sure they'll have a module version, if 
they smart.  Every other company usually has some.  You only need one 
keyboard with midi.  

Does anyone know why Death in Vegas has three members?
