After almost staying 15 years in it’s box - it’s time to liberate the screen and to hook up my favorite drum machine to MCL and larger setups

IDMish arcade-sound ride on the Elektron classics.
MachineDrum MKII used as sequencer for the SID-Station plus using the gate-input machines on MD as noise gate.
MD-midi machines controlling the arp-speed on the SID-Station (using the FLOATING-7 preset)
Ctrl all action used a lot on the MD this time 
Live recorded in a single take on 1010 BlueBox.
Delay and reverb added here.

ok so after 5 years of owning the machinedrum, i accidentally found out that you can trigger patterns from midi notes lol. insert mindblown.gif
does anyone know if the OT can do this as well? i looked on the manual but couldn’t find anything… this would actually be fucking amazing for glitchy breaks but sadly my MD is the non UW version
so yeah even after years of owning this machine it still manages to excite me. best elektron machine next to the OT hands down

you need to get a megacommand in your life
Yes you can do the same with OT
Midi notes or manualy with trigs and you can use Hold to let play the pattern? (Edit: no not patterns but tracks) the time you want, kind of gate
Same in MD
Edit : yes really mad beat with mapping
the OT does accept notes for samples/slots/slices/quick mutes etc, but i can’t find anything about note mapping to patterns
You can even set a midi note to start play the sequencer or another to stop it.
very useful workaround for the “pattern start one bar later” problem 
Not patterns, but tracks
Edit : sorry, i was note clear, i talked about patterns, but it was tracks. Very powerful thing
Edit 2 : i haven’t try my following recipe, i will do toonight, but midi (or manual) launching tracks, 8 tracks independently from sequencer, plus 4 parts, plus possibilities to change patterns with midi offers lot of opportunities to have rythm fun. I stop here, cause that’s not the place.
Here i can say that midi mapping with MD is very very fun and powerfull.
