Non-UW is still fine. Though it, by default, doesn’t come with the +drive, so you’re going to have to keep that thing near constantly plugged up to your computer midi interface for backing up because you don’t have any extra projects.
And with all the synth engines in that monster(and the unfortunate shortcoming of workibg strictly with lots as far as presets are concerned) you’re going to fill up all the available patterns trying things out and exploring(I say this to the favor of the MD)
It’s a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Machine- and a non-UW is better than no UW at all.
But you will probably want a UW at some point. (Field recording percussion just sounds amazing running it through its engines and resampling really offers a whole world of possibility)
UW MKI is missing.
It has 32 steps only. Not the same PSU.
It was made before MKII (non UW).
+Drive let you have snapshots, hence more than 128 projects.
So MKII UW+ is the best!
haha
Well truth to be told, I traded my Phenol for a eurorack case last month and most of my cash have been going towards buying modules, most of which come next week actually … that’s mostly why I am hesitating but I think I am going to hold off for now and focus on my system … maybe start selling some of the stuff collecting dust
I’m trying not to be too evangelical, but this is absolutely right- and the seller is a saint for letting it go for so cheap- I like to think of myself as a decent person, but I wouldn’t let a MK2 go for that little
and can be triggered by the modular! easy way to get around sequencer limitations of MD with the right choice of companion modules. I’ve been meaning to set up a small modular to go with MDUW where it would act as master clock and sequencer, but it would receive at least 1 trigger stream derived from the modular so as to spice things up a bit
