Still need to get round jumping from one sound to the other to be able to manipulate them. Or is there better way ? Cause when in the mute menu, you can't select a track quickly with the function button, so you need to get very fast at the wheel jogging. Nice track! I don't know of a direct shortcu...

A drummachine does something that a software doesnt? i mean, what would be and advantage besides being able to control by hand? Holy thread bump batman! The Machinedrum has a very intuitive sequencer. I'd compare it to something like the MPC. Even though you could do all that on Ableton Live it's s...

Thanks for the suggestions The Vestax model you linked is just a MIDI controller. I need something to control my hardware synths and drum machines. The only thing keeping me away from the Xone series is the RCA inputs. I don't really feel that comfortable plugging in some of my balanced gear (compre...

I would go for the new Macbook if you really truly don't need Firewire. I don't think Apple is trying to segment the market... they will likely stay with this computer case design for years to come. In a few years I have a feeling that Firewire will be dead technology (with USB3 and whatever else th...

I would... having an extra 2 bars seems like it'd come in pretty handy.

Manual -- thanks for the thread! It's inspired me to dig out my old Machinedrum and program some tracks. Unfortunately my MD doesn't have the sampler option... after watching your vimeo videos I think I'm going to try and sell this version for the UW version. One question -- I've always loved the MD...
