I’ve been looking into the MD for a while now, in my quest to find sound sources for synthesized hihats and shakers (in a techno context).
I have the Rytm mkII and the TR-8S, and am very happy with the synthesis opportunities these machine gives me. I’m also fully covered in the sample chain department (DT, Bitbox Micro)
Various hints here and there have given me the impression that the MD has hihat and cymbal machines that are present in neither the AR, M:C or ST, and I am curious to check them out.
I’m my search I got hooked on trying the MD workflow, and the rest of the machines as well, as it sounds like a really nice complement to the Rytm.
Trawling the forum I have been struggling to find examples of what these MD hihat and cymbal machines sound like out of the box, to get a chance to understand if they indeed bring something complementary to the Rytm.
@Jeanne has a great example, although dialed into territory I rarely go:
and I enjoyed Max Marco’s Elektron Machinedrum: Basic Beat Making a lot.
Apart from these two, I haven’t been able to find many examples, and especially “dry” ones, with just the MD machines and internal effects used.
I am taking pure MD machine synthesis of hihats, cymbals, shakers (and sand, Jeanne 
), not samples.
Does anyone have link to videos, audio snippets or post here on the forum I missed?
