basic techno/house beatmaking with Elektron Machinedrum, starting from a blank kit and pattern. A handful of useful sound generators are explored, as well as some of the voice architecture, with a focus on the master FX; a crucial aspect of Machinedrum sound design

prior to editing this video I had never spent time analyzing the Machinedrum audio output this closely, and the interaction between the compressor, EQ, and master volume - I actually discovered in some testing after I shot the footage that I can crank the output level of the Machinedrum far beyond what my RME interface is able to accept even on its 'hi-gain' input setting - I'm starting to think the Machinedrum is designed to avoiding clipping on the way out in the traditional digital sense - looking at the waveforms (and based on what I hear) it seems almost like there is a soft saturation or limiting that was implemented to prevent any harsh digital clipping - but I would need to perform tests where I significantly attenuate the signal coming out of the Machinedrum - it clipped the inputs of my audio interface long before I could tell if it clipped its own output DAC. Using aggressive compressor settings you can get a very squared off and clipped signal, but it's clearly not clipping on the way out, it's getting clipped inside the MD between the compressor and the EQ- and it still sounds a bit different than typical digital clipping on the way out of a DAC
