With UW, probably. Without, I don’t agree. No retrigs, no tuned pitch, no modulations (pitchbend, modwheel, velocity). Ok for flexible lfo routing, but in the end I was still lacking lfos. I prefer 2 per track than 1 flexible per track.
The only kick I liked on MD was the BD2.
When I sold my MD I thought I’d buy another one, still have my black faceplate. At today’s prices, no way. And I’d want an MK2UW only…
Anyway I think the OT+ST combo is much more capable concerning synthesis, processing, recording, I don’t like 12 bit samples, I found workflow boring so…no regrets!
It was gorgeous in black though…
