Getting RID of Machinedrum because AR

so I considered dropping it… the MDUW had been collecting dust for a few months here…
and the last few times playing with I was’nt impressed with how it sounded at all… like soap or something, I thought…

but then i gave it another spin today… pluggin AF into it and mangling it with the RAM machines… never done this before, lol, always the other way around… this time the MDUW got to be on top…

so uhh… NO WAY!
definitely keeping this bitch. there’s nothing like it :+1:

Fuck, man, you’re good! Love the sound of this! :slight_smile: And yes, obviously a keeper! How did you arrange this? On the fly-recorded stuff?

thanks :slight_smile:

it’s a snippet from a jam yes… the 20 minutes which came before the part above were less listenable haha

so a basic beat on MD, with one RAM machine pair which deals with the A4…
there’s a CTL-EQ machine sweeping the PF parameter, hence the phasing effect…

the stuff on the A4 is really, really messed up… performance macros are randomized, and messing mostly with percussion sounds lol… good stuff happens when MDUW RAM machines mess with A4 reverb trails, and the resulting samples go through the MD’s own lo-fi reverb…

Nice!!!

Yeah I love the sound of the MD sampling. Kinda like an S950 but not as bright. Thought of selling it too but we don’t exactly know what the AR is yet. Although I’m guessing A4 sound engine.

yeah i like sampling on the MD more than on the octatrack for a fair number of things - well it’s different, easier to pre-sequence live sampling into the sound, cool feedback effects etc. imo i think the MD synth engines are most fun stacked to make super sample food.

are you saying the MD does send info to the A4 and changes the A4’s input reverb (and chorus and delay?)

no, doing it by hand… good call though, gonna try some MIDI machine macro mangling next :slight_smile:

Wow, great sounds!

Really good stuff. I’m blaming you for becoming one of those people who are doing my head in about having to buy an MD for what I’m doing.

Great vibe void, thanks for sharing!

lol cheers!

and remember kids: keep yer MDUW close :alien:

LoVe!!
nice crazyness!!


i’m completely on your side!!
When it comes to fast nipply sampling MDuw rulez!!!

and saying it in another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0juTMni9N8

ridiculous amounts of tasty-ness. dang. i’ve yet to crack the code on ram/rom/sampling on the machinedrum _is there a talk through better than the manual?

again, that is _ridiculous.

who makes music like this that i can listen to? tired of my current rotation of thom yorke, atoms for peace, machinedrum, aphex twin.

thanks :slight_smile:

hmm… doesn’t get any better than GESCOM:

really cool sounds.

Here’s another ode to the classic machines. This glitch fest is a one take trinity jam, no edits or postproduction.

stunning :slight_smile:
getting RID of Loadsathings because MD
getting RID of Untouchables because AR

Lots of MDs going up on eBay. Looks like GAS has kicked in because the AR is here. I could never give up my MD. But now is a great time to pick one up if you need one.

I am keeping mine too. Though its only a Non UW. I love mangling it with the Biscuit and A4.:slight_smile:
