Recorder Instrument Design

I recently added the Grace Design Felix 2 channel instrument preamp to my stage set-up. The Felix has an insert to handle effects. I've been very conscious of trying to making a clean signal path and this cable makes me proud to have one more link in the chain accomplished with top quality.

I'm extremely impressed with basically everything about this drum machine. To start with, the hardware is impeccable. Made in Sweden, *extremely* robust-feeling (heavy metal construction), excellent QC. All buttons feel good, pad sensitivity is very good. The physical design is excellent. The firmware is also quite excellent. I have experienced zero bugs of any kind, and the UI/UX design integration between the firmware and the physical controls is really good. They've clearly put a huge amount of thought into how people are going to use this. One downside is that you do have to go out and learn Elektron's data model (what is a song vs a pattern vs a track vs...), but there are a number of good youtube videos explaining this clearly. A big surprise - the desktop software is actually really good! I'm used to musical instrument vendor software being absolute garbage, and I would normally never e.g. install a kernel extension from a musical instrument developer. However, Elektron seems to have some really competent software people! Overbridge engine works quite well, and lets you do really cool stuff, like record each of the 8 tracks *individually* into your DAW using just a USB cable. When I compare this to a certain other well-known Swedish instrument manufacturer (who doesn't actually make their instruments in Sweden...), this device comes out ahead in every single metric. So glad I got this!

Used with BlackMagic Design Ultrastudio Mini Recorder. Worked like a champ.

Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!

Fine instrument, does what it should do and more. I recommend it.

It's a good quality instrument that I like so much

Very steady for this heavy instrument.

This little recorder packs a lot into a compact design. The sound is really clean and the digital meters are sweet! The mic attachments are a real plus but connecting a boom with an XRL cable is what I really like. And the unit is pretty durable.
