Drums / Kicks / Clean Sound

[BloodStar]

My vote goes for MicroTonic,. Ultimate drumsynth with loads of interesting parameters for tweaking. Wouldnt say it is good just for noisy beats,. You can get nice rounded kicks and percs from it.

Drumazon and Nepheton is good too. Hoewever its sound is easily markable as 909 and 808 are not too new to the scene. But yeah, they do well what they're supposed to.

I love the microtonic, but the problem comes with certain envelopes, particularly the noise envelope. IT`s very hard to get a very very tight solid "real" kick sound from it. The envelopes seem a little too elastic.
I use it a lot though.

As for drumazon and Nepheton, yeah yeah, 909 emulation and blah blah.
Very limited in use, dated in sound and just not that versatile, personally I wouldn`t bother, you`ll get more mileage out of the others synths metnioned.

The Elektron Machine Drum on the other hand, is Godlike.
It`s more than a drum machine really, great to play, and well, worth having.
Expensive though, and support isn`t the best.

I dont like the Microtonic for some reason, I am with Steve on this one, no tightness in the sound, not comfortable with it at all..

Hmm looks like Drumazon & Nepheton is not really worth my money & time..

Okay, so, if I decide to make a move to get the Elektron, I will not be making a mistake?
I should get my head around it the same way I would get any of the other instruments in the first place, correct?
I don't plan on playing live yet, just producing music at home, this has nothing to do with my decision to get this drum machine, from what I have seen & been told, with work, it will get me the sound I want, especially for my kicks, drums & percussion?
The drum machines are a generator, all sounds are built in, correct?
No sampler? Not that I need or want it to have a sample but curious..

Sorry for the questions guys, Steve, much respect, just very curious on this piece of equipment now, even though its not a solid move yet, as software might be a better start for me, hmm, you guys rock more than anyone, cheers!!
