Anyone ever used one of these before? I?m seriuosly considering bying one. I?we been considering Jomox for a long time but now i?m not so sure anymore :roll: Of course there?s the downside of no memory and only notes are recived by MIDI but it does sound like a "worth to consider" machinery. All analog, all hands on and not very expensive :twisted:

Edit: Oh, by the way, here?s a link: http://www.vermona.com/en/produkte/drm/drm1.html

Never heard one Onkel, so a little hard to judge. From the outside it looks like a mean box though.

F*** - thats a whole lot of knobage!!! :)

From a purely practical perpective, I rather prefer the MD - easy to automate just about every aspect of it via MIDI (now that Ive made some device panels for it).

I do like the sound of that knobagey beast tho :)

I?m looking for a great sounding hardware (preferable analog) drum synth with a sound of it?s own. One that can do great sounding analog drums but also be tweaked (with knobs and not a mouse) into sounds of weirdness and madness. Not a VST purcusion synth. I have trouble being creative when put in front of a screen with a mouse in my hand :?

Actually i find the chaos of not being able to control things 100% via MIDI and not being able to edit the knob turns afterwards appealing. All to often i find myself making those boring straight lines in Cubase instead og letting the my human imperfections colour my projects. I would like some patch memory though but i guess i can live with drawing some more knob sheets :wink:

accualy i emailed the guy who developed Microtonic and asked him to do an upgraded HW version of it,it seems his considering it.
if so elektron would finally meet their match! :D

Yeh - Im with you on the drawing thing, but I do like to be able to record automations and have the option to tweak some odd bit somewhere (maybe in the note data) and not have to go and do the whole auto sequence again :)

I even treat guitars like this - record wet and dry audio + midi automation to the guityar processor so i can change my mind about stuff without having to record the original guitar bit again (cos it takes me bloody ages to get it right) :)

I hear you. It?s just that i can?t help myself drawing around if i can. Ok, i do try not to but sometimes it?s just easier an i?m a lazy guy :oops: If i was forced to do all knob movements manually i would also get training in geting it right. A little like lerning to play a new instrument and as a side effect i would get knob movements with "a human feel" :roll:

Back to the original subject:
Has anyone any experience with this bastard? Until now i?ve only read good rewievs with exception of already discused lack of memory and MIDI-tweakablelity (and a noisy headphone jack that i?m never gonna use anyway)...

A friend of mine has one, but when I heard it, it was a long time ago, so I couldnt give you a decent review...

But, please give us a review once you get it!!!!!

Sure looks nice but it costs about 5 times as much as the Vermona :?
