I seem to have "an axe to grind" because I'm a fan and interested in discussing facts about the group? I've shared numerous links in this post that would be of interest to any Kraftwerk fan. It should be very clear that I am quite the super fan. And this is distasteful and bad form? Wow.
Kraftwerk in many ways was the ultimate nerd band. I believe that Florian Schneider would be tickled to know his fans were painfully dissecting the minutiae and lore of his equipment.
I was also careful to point out in my original comment that I was "not trying to detract from their genius in any way."
- mcnamaratw 7y agoMaybe, but if they were screwing around with the inside of the equipment, that kinda is circuit bending tho.
- ratww 7y agoThey were! The Maestro unit didn’t have expression inputs, or pad inputs. It only had rhythm presets that you couldn’t change and an external start/stop switch. It was simple, but it required creativity and some electronics skill (or at least a lot of trial and error and soldering).
