Yep, it’s just the Machinedrum and only one machine-type (GND), which offers basic waveforms (sine, saw, pulse and noise). Pulse I haven’t used that often but the others I’ve found VERY useful and versatile. Sine for kicks, rimshots and plucks, noise for hats and saw for pads and leads.
Only now I had the time to start listening to your album in it’s entirety.
So beautiful and moody. Really very very good and inspiring.
I’m completely broke atm and I’m guessing you know exactly why hahaha.
When my balance gets repaired a bit I’ll surely buy this.
Also v cool that you donate the money for Oikeutta Eläimille.
This will be perfect music to listen to while painting.
Thanks again to everyone who’s listened / commented / supported the release, it means a lot!
I think the true magic here lies in the work of the devs of the X.04 (et al). Much of the stuff I ended up doing on these tracks was literally made possible by those firmware updates.
For those of you who prefer to have something to watch while listening, I just uploaded the liveset on Youtube. Unfortunately no live footage, however, as previously mentioned. Maybe next time.
I purchased your album on bandcamp a few weeks ago but never popped back on here. Just wanted to say how great it is, I hope you are proud of it because you should be. I think the album shows a great mastery of the instrument and has some really nice textures and melodies.
The Machinedrum has become my favourite Elektron since I managed to get a MKII non-UW last year, just before the prices exploded. Feel very lucky to have it now.
Wow. The 22-minute liveset is not only some of my favorite MD music ever, but it’s one of my favorite ambient releases generally. I discovered it last night while trying to catch up on MCL developments and ended up listening to it on repeat for a couple of hours straight.
Great work and looking forward to your future efforts. This is the most persuasive argument for using X.05 and MCL I’ve come across yet
