Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi Tony,

I'm also eager to see update's like a flangar, phaser, distortion 
and filter fx's. For me it's ideal for my live set-up. For in the studio 
I use mostly external fx's.

For your idea of Reverse and Freeze, it's going to need sample 
memory, so I don't see the posibility about this!

As far for the MD E12 and the MM Beatbox I wish that you could 
reverse the samples just like on the Jomox XBase 09.

Best regards,

-Armand
