Machinedrum Tutorial, part 1

[@LostInTheRush]

The sound design of the music in the background and the atmosphere it creates is fucking incredible!

[@narki86]

This is the best drum synthesizer ever made, the sounds it can make are out of this world and the interface is almost too easy to use ;) Its expensive yes, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better perfomance tool than this, its so easy to lay down floorkilling grooves it almost feels like cheating! If you are serious about percussion, get one, and yes, I strongly recommend you to get the UW.

[@sonnyobrien]

why get the UW?

[@dfreeman120]

Brilliant piece of kit

[@Mystiskmusli]

We, the people, need a MK3!!!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Syntakt

[@Mystiskmusli]

@@sub-jec-tiv you have clearly never handlede a MD if you think that shitbox can live up to it

[@sub-jec-tiv]

@@Mystiskmusli Owned and use a MD SPS-1UW+ since it came out.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

@@MystiskmusliHave owned a SPS-1 UW+ since they came out. Own a low serial number SIDstation (Elektron’s first synth from the 90s). Been synthesizing percussion for almost 3 decades. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about calling the Syntakt a ‘shitbox.’

[@DavidChatterton-j6b]

@@sub-jec-tiv The Syntakt is no comparison to the SPS-1UW" MKII. No comparison and nowhere near as bad ass. Try again.

[@Daluxer]

Now I want to watch Matrix again. Lols

[@KokenMel]

hahaha I just feel same.

[@toddsmithselbow1732]

This dude means business.

[@cymbolic_space1832]

i miss the times when electronic music culture had a bit of an edge like this. it all feels too twee now. i want instruments that make me feel like i am learning to pilot a starship not make an espresso. i wonder if and when the trend will cycle back. hopefully soon.

[@fitagoraz]

Not for longer & may not comeback at all

[@inkajoo]

It is up to us to create the future.

[@Tapepusher]

Grass is always greener. We didn’t realise the 90s were the good ol’ days until we looked back. Let’s appreciate how vibrant electronic music is.

[@cymbolic_space1832]

@@Tapepusher you are right, there sure is a lot to celebrated about considering how accessible everything is. Sometimes i think about how the accessibility is one of the reasons the scene is oversaturated. it can be harder for the creme to rise to the top. which isnt necessarily a good or bad thing, but i believe it to be an observable truth.

[@fitagoraz]

Me too

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Nice many thanks guys! I was looking for a tutorial as I am using an older Machine Drum and want a complement to the manuals.

[@makeshiftsavant]

5:40 can someone please clarify what he means by the UW having 130 machines? Looking at the manual, it only has a few more than the non-UW model

[@makeshiftsavant]

Nevermind, found the answer. Check the manual section appendix C-2 part: Sysex Assign machines. It mentions the 56 missing machines are 48 ROM machines and 4 sets of Rec/Play for the RAM machines

[@antonhornquist]

i kinda like the fact that hector demonstrate these products in an anechoic chamber

[@NikDeeDahlstrom]

Cool - very suggestive photo, presentation - I like too!

[@NappyHeadedHorse]

@DieewigeSuche, This is a very high quality piece of music gear. Easy contender for best drummachine out there. That's what the best costs. And why in the world would you compare a drummachine to the V-Synth...? *confused*

[@autocosm]

That Hector is such the stuff of nightmares leaves me more likely to buy this.

[@clearmenser]

why is the hue inverted and the aspect ratio all stretched and reversed L to R?

[@formularityzonexs]

Great Machine, Thanks Elektron

[@19karl16]

im tinking about getiing one of these but im just wondering is it hard to use or program??

[@daniroperto]

Is it possible to connect/sync the Machinedrum to Ableton Live via a midi-usb cable interface

[@jimmywheelo]

+Dani Roperto yes

[@nsputnik]

He says it is a full midi sequencer. Can I send it standard midi files?

[@VladyYakovenko]

Please make a modern onereee

[@ryanpeplinski1884]

Sounds start at 4:32

[@artyfuffull]

Would appreciate some new and more detailed md tutorial videos.

[@ernestoschmied7520]

No bullshit. Great vid!

[@peyrardjohann]

Please Hector make some track with Cenk again :)

[@fitagoraz]

U know some Hector social media ?

[@AnalogNoiseLab]

This video was recorded in....The Cube

[@lolitaXcomplex]

thats funny you shud say that. im considering swapping a vsynth keyboard for a mk1 machinedrum uw. anyone care to comment as to whther its a good trade?

[@FantasticPyroclastic]

he´s the results of combining the genes of Agent Smith and Hannibal Lecter... and MozHard i think :D

[@zacdior9402]

Hector needs to chop that ponytail off. Peace ✌️ out people

[@peyrardjohann]

You are the dark side !

[@CarlGontheBeat]

the Sampler is only 12 bit :/ guess analog rytm is the way to go

[@aikighost]

+Carl G The 12 bit samples have a unique character. Both the MD and RYTM have their own selling points. I have both.

[@debbiecrankin]

😐

[@sonnyobrien]

guys wtf are with these videos im scared

[@gudmundurThor96Nr2]

This guy freaks me out

[@masashi6996]

wwwwwww

[@jenskuhnemann1241]

hector, what is wrong with you? do you need help? have you been forced to do that video. it looks like people are pointing guns in your direction.
