Well.. just to look at it from another point of view..
I do not use the cue-output on my octatrack.. havent exactly figured out
in which way to use it.. So , even though i want the uw version..
i doubt it that i use the octatrack to feed it.. but i am sure the machinedrum
will be fed into the octatrack..
so appart from the glitchy stuff i want to play with and the loading of my own samples..
most of the fun i want from the machinedrum is the non-uw stuff..
in reality, the larger part of my drumhits i gathered around the years prob stay in my
octatrack, or one of the other samplers
and i have never uploaded single cycle wavs in my monomachine.. (do not even have midi interface for that
So, hmm you could wonder, isnt the octatrack more fun for transition-tricks (why some use UW)
and how many times will you upload your own samples and use them (as in my case with the single cycles on the monomachine).. and do you like glitchy stuff??
in my case, i like transition-tricks, and glitchy mayhem
and yeah thats worth extra pennies for me.. but for you.. hmm its your music and your wallet
