OK – maybe you’re omniscient after all.

YOU ARE SO NOT OMNISCIENT!

We’ve been posting profiles, with videos, of classic bits of gear lately. These are some great instruments, even though they may not be the latest news.

I wish my sidstation had a drum machine mode built into it. that would be cool, except for all the line noise that runs off the damn thing. at least the machinedrum seems to control like how i would expect a synthesis based drum machine should work... unlike the newer korg electribes for example, which annoy me a bit. or at least as far as getting the synth parts to work like i expect. although i guess only trying it in the shop doesn't help. though i have one of the older, sampling electribes, so i thought it wouldn't be that hard. okay, i'm ranting and off-topic now, so i'll stop. yeah, didn’t this come out like 8 years ago? or was that the monomachine? anyway, i’ve always liked the idea of the machinedrum, but it just doesn’t seem to make the sort of noises i expect it to. i expect more 8-bit sounding distorted noise-based drums and instead people always seem to make uninspiring fm and old midi type sounds.

I like the mix between the retro interface and the modern implementation. I will definitely be checking this out at Namm! Nice!
