Together with MCL, MIDI-Machines can really be a blast 
(Tutorial below)
Do you plan re-sampling or using external samples
(on my to-do list: Transfer samples from/to MachineDrum - #17 by AdamJay).
Question to all Machindrummers:
Also external samples being transferred are reduced to 12bit?
Does it make a difference sound wise, if you just transfer or sample on the machine?
Cheers
