This is simply not true::
Ot abc test [/quote]
I see nothing in this thread that dispells what I said. In fact it seems to support it. My language may have been a bit strong, it doesn’t squash the life out of samples as such but it does do something undesirable to them. Every other hardware sampler Ive had would give something benficial to a raw sample loaded in but the OT does the reverse and takes something away. Don’t get me wrong I love the OT but it did make me like elektron a little less. Also selling me a $2000 noise box in the guise of a drum machine (AR) that is really only worth a grand and almost handicapped in its features compared to the MD and doesnt do great drum sounds…makes me like Elektron even less.
Still a fan at this stage tho 
Elektron please make me a machinedrum 2. With greater sample space, higher bitrate, the inclusion of an analog machine or 2 with the buttons and colour scheme of the analog series and usb overbridge support. Omg Im getting too excited.
