Bought an elektron machinedrum early this week

[Xonetacular]

Shit. I just watched some machinedrum videos on the site and I'm sold. I am buying one, the question now is which version and to get it now or wait until after my 6u eurorack is filled (which is soon).

[Tarekith]

Definitely get a UW version.

[Xonetacular]

Yeah..

wow this elektron stuff is powerful



Damn. Looks fun.

[Xonetacular]

and people seem to sequence modulars with them, damn.

Hey tarekith, whats the advantage of the uw? is it just sampling and buffer fx? I got a non uw version since it was so cheap so no regrets there, just wondering what I'm "missing"

[Xonetacular]

How much did you pay for non UW?

[Razzlesnaz]

I love listening to gear junkies kickin it. My buddy has on old Roland TR909 and we use to use that to program beats on the fly while spinning hip hop records over the top. Physical drum machines are super awesome and a rarity in this day of impulse, bfd, kong, battery. Drum machines are crack for your hands.

[diezdiazgiant]

Six fifty.

Where? I would probably grab one for that much. UW looks cool- I just saw one go on ebay for 1200 which is kind of a lot. Gotta divide my funds between that and eurorack.

[diezdiazgiant]

ebay. they dont come up frequently but every now and again i see the mk1 go for six or seven hundo.

just watched a monomachine go for 810, really wanted to bid on it but a bit beyond my abilities at the moment. if i buy more hardware im going to need either a better soundcard with more ins and outs or a hardware mixer to replace my apc. ha this shit turns into quite the money pit, hell you know that - youre building a eurorack.
