I first thought about purchasing a Syntakt, but then I felt some kind of g.a.s. and thought, well, I first should try all I can do with the M:C before buying anything else.
Currently I’m very happy about my decision. Beeing more or less totally unexperienced with all electronic music production I love the directness of the m:c and all of it’s knobs and buttons. It is limited, missing filters, different envelopes, more lfos, but yesterday I first came across using it as a midi controller additionally to the onboard sound machines.
Where else do you get a 6 track sequencer with 12 knobs and two toggle buttons for each of these 6 tracks? If connected to other instruments, virtual or not, gives you a rich selection of additional sound creation possibilities. I e.g. plan to connect my craft synth 2.0 to one track, it’s mono anyway, and then I have the choice to put my Zoom MS-70 in chain and get any rich effect out of it on a seperate audio output to bring it it together in my (passive) mixer afterwards.
So many possibilities. And, at last, the M:C is light and does not pull 2A of power (and stays cool). It runs endless connected to my powerbank, together with my Arturia Keystep 37. So much fun and experimenting.
Btw, Hello! This is my first post here.
