Is that an Elektron MachineDrum to the left? I'm pretty sure it is... How do you like it? I just bought mine off ebay and it should be here this week.

Its a funky little box... Dont expect it to make kicks for your typical trance/house track.... Or any other percussion for that matter.

Doesn't that make the box absolutely useless?

Originally posted by h@x0r Now kids you begin to understand the meaning of word "patch"? As you can see - back in the old days, you didn't have pre-set sound. You just had bunch of transistors (VCO, DCO, LFO) that were hooked up together with a cable to create a sound by combining sound generating modules. In todays synths (analog or digital) you have a virtual patch, which allows creation of sound. Nice picture - for all music geeks everywhere this is the equivalent of MARC I

Many artists still use those, most get them exclusive from manufacturers, basically refurbished. I worked with Aphex Twins when they and Nine Inch Nails did a remix of Closer. I was at the NIN studio during the recording of their new album, their stuff is simply amazing.


^during the recording of their new album, id personally die to have those monitors.





Obviously most are modernized modular synths but still a comparison to that. But they do have the right to use those since ofcourse they are industrial, and yes i do love NIN.


As much as you all probably hate NIN, those guys are amazing in what they do, adn i know half of you are jealous to your knees and wished youd have that crap they do.

Wow you are the only person I have ever heard of using an oberheim expander

I have a jomox x base which I only use with my tb 303 and some distorion pedals for just some breakbeat techno music thing I do live for fun. I also make some housey crap with it but they you can't really use the 303. I mean that is $1,400 + worth of gear that is utterly "useless" for making trance tracks, well you could use the jomox for making an analog kick drum but I just use microtonic, it is so fast to make a kick drum.


Yah I always wanted an oberheim xpander, but they were always $2,000 before and still are. Once I saw one in the music repair place where I get my gear fixed under warranty or sometimes when I can't get the parts myself or it is past my repair ability level. I wanted to steal it hehe, it looked magical. My friends grandpa made music and had all this analog gear. I wasn't even allowed to enter the room and look my friend said, even though I begged I never saw the minimoog, xpander, and a crap load of other gear. His grandpa was like noooo it's mine! I guess I kinda get picky about people touching my gear now, but not really. If they bang on the synth and have no concept of musicianship I sorta say, "this is an instrument worth thousands of dollars and not a toy."

I guess the xpander sounds pretty fat, but I already knew that. I was thinking about getting a roland super jupiter and just controlling in via cubase since it is all midi.


Ps thanks for the http://www.bluesynths.com link I have been looking for andromeda samples and etc.
