Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi,

I haven't been able to reproduce AndyC's kinda snare, but it's true 
that with 2/3 sounds (not including the original sampled snare), you 
can get something that does the job very well, but not exactely this 
one.
I actually made entire dnb patterns with the just MD, but it sounds 
closer to mike harris dnb than ed rush of course.
As for the sample snare sound itself, I found the one on the mono 
much better as it can be used for old school jungle pretty nicely (In 
my wildest dreams I would receive a sysex file to put the MM samples 
in my MD instead of the original one, Daniel ? ;-), but on the MD, 
once you discover the retrig function, you barely use the raw samples.

However, the MD surprises me everyday with it's power compared to 
most other instruments I know, I can make things some people do with 
2-3 instruments. Even if it's pbbly not as good as a highend sampler 
for dnb, go for it, you won't regret it at all and will have lots of 
instant fun.
And buy a MM, I haven't had time to tweak the sounds enough, but I 
already managed to get great leads and basses !

cu, matt
