Great!

The sensivity of your wavedrum is indeed very impressing - did you enhance it with the filterbank or a compressor?

[odiolorgnette]

@ParissaMusic ... no compressor... just adjusting the drive of Moog Ring Modulator + finger work... Cheers!

Just wondering how you like this for breakbeat style drumming. How is the kick/snare combo? Despite the limitations of this compared with the handsonic (only two assignable pad areas, no foot controllers, no midi), I somehow find the acoustic/organic vibe of the Korg much more appealing. This may be my next purchase. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

very nice.

keep it up man.

Cool! Did you adjust the sensitivity to play with your hands?
