tempting to get that MnM i never needed. anyone noticed its cheaper in USD than EURO?.. typo?
euro is still stronger than the USD
motherfuck ā¦
Just bought a used MnM a month ago for this price. well, 905. which included the shipping, in factā¦so 6 euro more than new.
luckily itās in great condition, from a reliable forum member, with just under 2.5 years of Elektron warranty leftā¦ or Iād be pissed.
on the other handā¦ i just sold my mk1 mduw a week or so agoā¦ so, swings and round abouts.
Youāre gonna love the MM!
If I made more money and could afford to amass instruments rather than trade/swap them, Iād still own mineā¦ and the Push 2,ā¦ together with the OP-1
MnM pls.
Does wonders for my Nords. One simple MM reverb fx track offers rev+ filters+delay+eq+bitcrush+lfos+envelope gating on sequencer.
I am finally about to nab the A4/AR. Been wanting to use a different setup than the OT+MD+MM combo, with the advances in seqā¦ but its promiscuously tempting to add a 2nd MM to run purely for send fx from a mixer.
Hope they donāt all sell out in a blink.
Then again, a replacement combo 16ch MM/MD/sampler with the 2016 seq would make waves for many.
Man. Iāve wanted a Machinedrum since they first came out and then the UW just seemed mindblowing. But after starting to really appreciate the MnM it almost seems like a pair of them would be even more fun. One for drums, one for melodics. Or turn on a dime and have 12 drum tracks. Or two monosynths with 6 layers each. Or extra processorsā¦ mmm. Oh, the arpeggiators.
All the Elektrons do double duties, but the MM is definitely the chameleon of chameleons. Seen a few studios over the years with more than one.
Agree that it makes sense to have a " couple of the good things", which is why I have more than one Nord also 
Chance that leftover +drives might go down in price as well?
Bought my mk2ās not long before the + came out but $1000+ to upgrade both was always a mildly ill joke.
Soo tempted for a monomachine now after this price change came along right when I was about to sell my mduw to fund a rytm.
I took my md off the market (actually I raised the price to $50,000 just for fun) as the money I would get back from an $1800 (canadian eqivalent) purchase is much less than is worth to me now, even though I only use it occasionally
Iām sure Iām not the only one who was considering selling but isnāt now. By that logic my guess is that if these sell out quickly prices used wonāt actually drop that much s the demand will actually be bigger than it is now. But if they are available for a while then yes prices will dropā¦And then obviously if there is a shadow of doubt (or hope) that a new superior machine is on the way then yes prices will fall.
3 years after the last sells is when they will all be on even playing field as none will have warranty. Thatās when prices could go up depending on whatās availableā¦ These are just guesses for fun. Im not psychic
Until then though looks like Iām keeping my md so time for another round of rediscovering its awesomeness.
Love my OP-1, especially now that Iām getting into musique concrete type stuff on it. Itās well suited for that and for exploring ideas. Itās not really suited for heavy-duty sequencing though because it doesnāt store a bank of patterns.
Iām thinking the MnM and OP-1 will complement each other in my rig. MnM for a live setās worth of sequencing and additional FX on the OP-1. The OP-1 for compact polysynth duty (manual playing as opposed to sequencing). I just learned that I canāt play chords on the MnM from external MIDI controller without the intervention of some MIDI processor (probably an IOS app in my cass).
Both for improvised noise of course.
Thatās not true in the way you stated it. If youāre referring to this thread:
http://www.elektronauts.com/t/fm-lets-talk-about-it/17505/143290
then you werenāt asking whether you could simple āplay chordsā; you asked whether you could āmanually play chords with one note being FM+, 2nd note being the voice modeler, etc.ā.
If you just want to play chords on the MM, you can use POLY mode to play any one trackās sound polyphonically.
600 bux for a crispy new MK2 non uw? SOLD!
No one yet has answered the real question: if you have neither, which one first?
Iām sorry but their disclaimer is too vague to take seriously. I mean the words themselves āhorizonā and āforeverā could mean anything. Not having a MBA, I just think these reductions would seriously cut into A4 and AR sales.
āI want a hardware x, I donāt care about digital vs analog. Iāll take the one over a quarter less than the price of their latest models.ā
But what do I knowā¦
if I had to choose oneā¦at these pricesā¦ Iād go with the mduw.
from their statementā¦i conclude that even if they are telling lies, there would still be at least 18 months between this event and the successor being announced.
second of all, i never early-adopt new elektron gear anywayā¦ so even if a MDuw mkIII would come out in 18 months (unlikely, but thatās the soonest I could imagine such a thing) ā¦ it would be at least another 18 months until all the annoying bugs and possible hardware issues are discovered and ironed out. bugs could well be longer, but hardware issues take a while to come to the surface some times ā¦
so worse case scenario, the soonest I would be likely to even allow myself to desire a mkIII mnm or mduw would be three years from now, assuming it would be released in 18 months.
and if I want to upgradeā¦ iām not going to lose that much on selling it used. i have three years worth of warranty, so any āimminentā successor will be out in time for me to sell it with a decent amount of warranty intact.
so, for my buying habits, this is a safe bet.
i ordered a mduw mkii ā¦ just sold a mki a couple weeks ago. iām happy with what i effectively paid to upgrade : )
Hi there,
what do you guys recommend me? Monomachine or Machinedrum?
I have OT and several analog synths (desktop&keys), so I need no UW, no FX-Box and no Midi seq.
I need drums, but IĀ“m very interested in the MMĀ“s SID stuff, & itĀ“s drums.
The Machinedrum seems very intuitive for live shows, what about the MM? Jamming Drums Live? Too complicated?
IĀ“ll play the keys at the same time, and I already have to use me head a lot to not fuck up with the OT, so no 2nd ābe careful-machineā.
Machinedrum more intuitive?
Honestly, I kind of prefer the Mono for drums. The FM machines in particular make it one of my favorite sources for percussion, and the arp is great for messing with your sequences and changing them up. The MD is a bit more performance oriented than the MNM thanks to kit reload and the Control All options, but you can also open the Mono up quite a bit if you pair it with a knobby controller with a joystick (personally, I use a Novation X-Station and it works quite well).
I read that on the MM you can only load a new kit (with 6 new sounds) and not change just one sound/track.
Is that the same with the MD? Or can I - while jamming around - just load that one nice snare from yesterday night?
Itās not totally exact : you can for instance copy a track from one kit to another, but itās not a very simple thing to doā¦
Forgot to mention the Arp on the MM, Sid mode is wicked. Also you can select different pattern lengths, mute steps & set offsets with it, brilliant.
P.S Iām horrified to see that I spelt āVirtualā with an āEā in that last postā¦horrified :-)[/quote]
i was pretty impressed with ur language skillz https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vertual
I canāt stress enough the value of the $599 MD as a MIDI sequencer alone.
Setting aside some of the analog series advancements with micro timing and polyrhythms, there have been a few threads on the desire for a mid-cost Elektron MIDI sequencer and this is it!
CC# p-locks, 16 freely assignable MIDI LFOs.
Itās like youāre buying a (still) bad-ass 16 track MIDI sequencer and getting a wicked digital drum synth and fx box thrown in for free.
