Another snippet from my new MD-UW. Pad coming from Mono and rest from MD-UW. a Little reverb and compression on beat to polishing it up.
"unfinished" track on SPS-1UW. Everything is unfinished though.
Drums: md
Pads, bass: proteus 2k! :(
Vocals, buzzy FX: sps-1uw, sampling old records
Track length: about 3 minutes
Total working time: 4 hours
Glitchy MD-UW track with a little bit of Ion synth-plops. One pass recording, no post editing except for a bit of compression.
I found a great tutorial on YouTube on how to program an Amen break into Live... so I adapted it for the Machinedrum, using only instruments from the E12 drumkit. I imagine this could be a fun starter for an OT jam!
hey everyone!. here's 26 base-kicks from jomox basemachine Mbase01. I have and i still use theese fantastic little files, i suggest u do the same!
An experiment made using the MDUW for percussion.
Just a SPS Groove jammed with, some nice sounds I reckon.
Still learning the beast tho really.

Simple 2 bar MD loop recorded in mono through an Akai M8 reel to reel recorder into a great river mp2nv into and edirol ua101 into soundforge 9.
An experiment made using the MDUW for percussion.
The original track was 96 kbps!!! qualiti .mp3 file so this is best i can do.
Alright guys and gals,
I've had a lot of peeps ask me to make a demo of the MD through my front end (Great River -> Distressors). In light of the recent conversations on Rockit's thread, I decided to upload something. I've never done a demo, so bear with me. It's probably not a perfect test, but hopefully it helps a little.
-The first 8 bars are straight MD, no Distressor. The second 8 bars are the MD through the Distressor.
-In both instances, the MD is going through my Great River MP-2NV. It is set with minimal input gain (in order to add as little color from it as possible), the output is set to 12 o'clock.
Distressor Settings:
- Ratio is at 10:1, so it's quite compressed. This is an 'opto' setting. I figured if I was gonna do this, I might as well really put the Distressor to use.
- The detector is set to High Pass (cuts the low freq's to the detector, in order to avoid Low Freq modulation), and band emphasis, which makes the detector overreact to harsh mids (around 6k).
- Dist 2 mode is on, which emphasizes the 2nd Harmonic.
- Input is at 6 (getting about 9 dB of gain reduction), Output is at 6
- Attack is set to 3, because the click on the BD was kind of annoying me, and release is set to 4. The typical 'opto' setting is between 2-7, so 4 is a happy medium.
Imo, you can definitely hear where the Distressor is rolling off some of the harsh digital high mid's, particularly in the clap. I also think it extends the bass (if that makes sense), it's just tighter. I love the added harmonics and (this may be strange to some), but I like how it pulls up the noise a bit (think Burial or whatever).
There are so many different settings on the Distressors. This is just one, of course. But, like I said, if I was gonna do this, I wasn't gonna do subtle.
I should also mention that I matched the amplitudes to a very close margin, although they might not be perfect. Also, these are hitting around -6 dB, so you're gonna need to turn up those speakers. I didn't wanna 'master' them, and possibly alter the raw results.
Cheers. : )
A clip to showcase UW treatment of a piano loop, you can hear how the hold parameter changes the groove and starts resembling a strummed guitar, filter changes, bit-reduction, amd/amf parameters introducing ring modulation and pitch shiftings.
