Relevant. It’s capable of traditional style sounds or more experimental percussion. It’s an absolute joy to use! The kicks can boom on this thing.

Hello there,
Just for the instance… i’ve been close to sell my old Md last days… but then i discovered a new function which made me completely rethink on how to use md on live performance!
There is not much gear out there who can surprise you after so long you are used to it…
I guess it will keep a place on my desk as long as i play!
Maybe only modulars have the same effect to me…
I just wanna say…DT, DN etc are all great. But im never as inspired by a piece of gear as much as my MD. Each time i go to that box…it just flows.
Love it.

Me too, for an AR. No lfos for CTR machines, can’t control midi tracks with its lfos but with a CTR8P which don’t have lfos, Global menu with function, clicky kicks (except TRX B2), knobs workings while in a different menu, boring arrows navigation for machines selection, very static sequencer…
Of course I gave it another chance, I found new ways to control it with OT + midi processor : I can’t select machines with OT knobs or have random machine changes via sysex ! 
Then I put back my black faceplate.
No way, I can’t sell this shit.

I lent my MD to a friend who lent me is AR. He installed the original faceplate, I kept it for a while like that after but I find it definitely gorgeous in black.
Sorry for silver purists!

I sold the MD, not the black faceplate!
If I keep it, it would be definitely a nostalgia piece.

IMO it really shines with pedals such as Deco, or Analog Heat… But yes, it’s not at all outdated, for the simple nor the wicked beat !

I think the MD still sounds incredible!
I have an mk1 it was my first Elektron box and as an added bonus it used to belong to
Richard Devine and is signed on the back, but that’s not the reason I won’t sell it.
I think it’s still competitive against other Elektron gear. It’s a digital modular drum machine / synth, capable of way more than drum duties. I played an ambient set at my friends wedding with my Machinedrum and eurorack modular, none of the patches from the MD sounded like drums. This instrument has some serious range!
