Bote ryhtme of synthesis, 16 multitimbral parts: Machinedrum has 16 slots machine (a machine is equivalent a synth), each with its own parameters ddition. The machines are of several types, we find the complete list in the doc. If a majority of them have more are synths, others allow contrler of parameters (noon, effects etc).
- Midi in / out / thru, 6 spares outputs, two coming in, headphone out.
- Sounds have up to 8 parameters of edition, plus individual effect section, 16 assignable LFO, effects reverb / compression / eq / delay in master ...
- Squenceur per pattern (type TRx0x) 16 64 steps / 8 banks of 16 patterns, 128 songs, sysex support for import / export, syncro ....
- THE big plus: the lock system of parameters that can be set for each step of the parameters squenceur DIFFERENT values, for each machine! Like a automation software on a sequencer but 10 times stronger and 10 times more ergonomic!

USE

The machine is very accompagnedune complte and didactic literature. The handling is done in no time: many functions are directly accessible thanks to the buttons in facade (or via a type of shift key) interface is clear, logical operation. In the use, the Machinedrum is quickly reveals very addictive because it is solid, beautifully clear and programmable in real time without ever having intrompre reading. At the level of Safeguards, yet this is very simple and undo functions are prvues for false manipulation.

SONORITS

As BAR synthesis, the Machinedrum covers an unlimited sonic palette. Biensur it takes time dapprivoisement to choose the right machine based on sound lon wants to create. But in the same idea order, can often work alaveuglette dobtenir incredible sounds: a snare that becomes a kick, a kick that turns into perceived in space, in a modulated clap hit hat short an endless journey into the musical creation! The rglages are very thin and have to be careful to get THE sound slap and all parameters are important: Parameter EQ modulate with a sawtooth LFO combined another LFO Exponential may seem unnecessary but you nevertheless will give unimaginable dune kick pronfondeur! So do not hsiter to experiment, to grind the machine in all directions, she hides relatively well his game to departure;-)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I am the User for about 6 months. Before lacqurir, I developed my rhythm on Drumatic (freeware) and Microtonic (software that is closest to the philosophy of Machinedrum). Jai BAR invested in this hardware because I mennuyais dordinateur before my guts ... I quickly realized quen more to gain pleasure of use, my songs became much more personal, less presets. It is possible to biensur dobtenir of interesting things with the software but it is years of Enlightenment power dune Machinedrum!
