i've watched this dude dataline demo rytms, machinedrums etc... he's an absolute beast. so nonchalant when demo'ing, he makes it look easy enough that anyone can do it also! by far one of the best product specialists around - ok, take my money elektron
That was sick! I love the idea of putting in loads of hihat trigs then live-recording in parameter changes. A really quick way to get a dynamic feel. I forget if the 'modern' Elektron boxes have that, or if it's just p-locking on a per-step basis?
I have always loved the FM drums of this excellent machine - you hear it all over Atoms for Peace and Thom Yorke (radiohead) solo works. It's even on his latest album "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes". Check out song "The Mother Lode". Total Machinedrum.
I love this machine. I used to have it but I had to sell it to survive. Is there any plans on a re-release or upgraded version of the machinedrum UW MK2?
Hey great video!! I would like to know more about how to record stuff with the machine and how to put your own samples into the machine? Does anyone know a good video or a great topic forum about it? I know i tried a few times but i always failed..
i really wish there was a more "beginner" version as i find it very difficult to keep up with what he is doing. does anyone know of anywhere in NYC where you could learn to use these machines or where any sort of extensive training could be provided?
***** i would like to become proficient with the machine, learn how to record with it and sample as well. If you know anyone who is well versed in this nd would be willing to teach please let me know. thanks.
Steve Nardone Aha think about the years you need to learn how to play guitar ^^ Elektron boxes may be deep, you can get a groove quite fast ! Just be patient, take the time to learn this instrument, you'll be rewarded :)
Steve Nardone You're right... The manual is a bit hard to follow.. Not hard.. but rather uninteresting? Uninspiring? The lack of photos makes it especially frustrating. Keep reading it and check out the Elektronauts forum, too.
Awesome machine indeed. I love my Machinedrum, just an incredible piece of kit...BUT... only one real complaint: ....but I spent hours loading up the 10 most recent Sound Packs thru the TM-1 "Turbo" midi interface. Hours and hours to load up just over 100mb into the +Drive. Plus you can't even mix and match the .syx files from other Sound Packs, nor preview them inside C6 to save drive space. I'll say that the TM-1 is anything but "turbo"!! A direct USB port on the machine itself would have been so nice with C6 integrated inside the box. For a musical gear company that's so on the cutting edge this comes as a major disappointment. Just be prepared to burn lots of daylight if you plan on loading several Sound Packs! All in all, after you're all loaded up with sounds...the Machinedrum UW is a force to be reckoned with. It is just an incredible piece of gear. We all have our gripes and grumbles about what could be better or improved on, but at the end of the day this box rocks. Highly recommended.
I keep having an issue when sampling a sound the way he does in the beginning of the video. I can get the captured sound into the machine and manipulate it, but even if I save the kit after I'm done, when I turn the machine off and then back on again, the sound just isn't there anymore. Can anyone help me with this?
Dean Scott Hi! RAM machines get deleted when the unit is rebooted. If you would like to keep the sample inside the RAM, you will need to COPY n PASTE RAM recording into the ROM slot. In the Sample Manager, highlight the RAM recording and press FUNCTION + REC to COPY. Then highlight the ROM slot you wish to PASTE into and press FUNCTION + STOP.
I NEED SOME INFORMATION! I want to buy one, but i don't know what type of laptop should i use with it. And i don't know if i need anything else for it or just a laptop. Does Anybody know?
+Atilla Bakos you can make completely self contained music with a machinedrum. It doesn't really hookup to a computer for anything special. Just need something to record it with like audacity or a sd recorder.
+Atilla Bakos You don't need a laptop to use it. The elektron machines can be used together or with other gear but essentially they are all standalone instruments.
parece tan facil de usar cuando quien la toca es Dataline vaya llevo seis meses con ella y los efectos no los entiendo o son muy sutiles o me queda un mundo que aprender de machinedrum...

Wow that machine drum uw, is a drag like how many button pushers do you have to do it’s like 10 years experience just to learn how to navigate the machine I come on it does sound pretty good though again another digital machine played with menus galore
It's a trade off most of the time, the easier it is to learn, the less capable it is of providing new experiences the longer you own it. It would seem with some of the more notorious Elektron boxes it is the reverse, where the longer you own it the more invaluable it becomes as a font of new ideas and possibilities.
MIDERA You gotta go into sample management menu and go all the way to the end of sample list and your current Ram play samples will be there. ... if you want to keep one permanently... you just copy/paste it into any of the actual ROM slots #1-32....I know it’s ass freakin backwards
@@nicholasdaniel9496 However - if you have more than 1 sample in there, and you save just one, you will have lost all of your other samples! I learned that the hard way myself... again!
The problem with these demos is you press so many buttons so quickly that it is impossible to clearly understand what you're doing. It would be great if there was actually a user guide that explained step-by-step how to do things like create a sound or kit from scratch, how to sample, etc. The Elektron manuals don't include this and thats why Elektron products are so frustrating for a lot of people to use. An expert user hitting buttons at top speed while explaining concepts simply just isn't helpful at all.
There's always the pause button, the half speed button and, you know, listening to what he's saying. It's not a tutorial, it's a demonstration. If you actually spend time with the device you will know how to do what he is doing.

Such an intuitive way to sample! The more I learn about the machinedrum, the more I need one.
I didn't know about the Scale Copy/Paste function to copy and paste 16 steps to other parts of the pattern. I'm glad I learned this.
I just got a MD UW mk2 after YEARS of wanting one. TODAY!!
this is so much better than the video they made when the machine came out.
Thank you for this! The MachineDrum is still a viable instrument today.
congas and guitars on the other hand should be abolished.
Paste + Scale!!! lovely!!!
Bring back the Machindrum PLz!!!❤🙏❤️. You would sell a boatload of them. It’s so dope.
This is definitely better than a digitakt ! So release a new one !
Thank you!
Please do more of these on the MD - this was REALLY helpful and I learned a lot!!!
Amazing machine, amazing presentation!! That's Excellent! You really know what you're doing guys! Big up
I love my trusty old machinedrum. I would like to see a new iteration with a RYTM style performance mode and more sample ram though.
Whatever they pay him, it isn't enough.

Every Elektron instrument has this.
@@Claidheambmor Coolio, thanks!
Now that I can figure out how to use it, I will have to buy one of these too.
I love how Cenk tries not to laugh when hearing those crappy vocal samples that he is about to trig

great demo. demonstrating what i like in my MDUW :)
Damn. Too late to discover this gem :/
dam they been ahead of the game

The Machinedrum UW is next in the Workflow series. Serious sampling and beat making. Watch it and be inspired!

I got mine, I want to wash it before I use it. Is 30 degree or 40 wash and is the legend colour fast ?
Elektron Best Produkt Ever !
How do you group sounds to individual outputs? For example, kick on output A, snare on B, hats on C, percussion on D, etc.

just spend time with it and read the manual, i think there's no quick way

Could we get some 2019 Cenk on Machinedrum action?
hey cenk i just bought one of these from a friend of yours in adana :D
that was fucking awesome
Genk: Legend.
The Machinedrum SPS-1 MKII ??????

Yep - MIDI

i want this track u made :/

I hate this doesn't have polyrhythms. but, the song mode can be used to "achieve" this
Groovie!
Don't you lose the samples in RAM even when you save the kit?
When switched off. Samples have to be upload C6/turbo midi, to live in the box after power downs iirc
Andy B.Can u add an external device and have it play thru the machinedrum? Like the new tr-09 aux in feature?!? And how step by step? I'm new
wow!Best Regards

It takes a while to learn guitar too, bub
Make me one with a 4x4 grid of drum pads and I'll become Mr. Machinedrum!
All is said here !

That's awesome... but once he's turned that MD off, he'll have lost that sample from the keyboard. Learned that the hard way myself.

sampling is SO much easier on an AKAI MPC...
Unfortunately all akai sells now are poor emulations of their great mpc machines.
+meedily agreed... second hand MPC's are the way
