Re: [elektron] elektron sampler >> Elektron.se down?

2005-02-12 by Christopher Mitchell

those types of hardware are all cheap commodities with very standard 
software interfaces.  for most people, the cost of the elektron gear 
(especially the sfx-6) is already prohibitively high.  actually, though 
we all know they are quite nice, the cost of the MD is prohibitive for 
a drum machine... as cool as it is, the first and last thing people 
always seem to get back to on the elektron hardware is the premium 
price.

so the point being, a premium/generally prohibitive pricetag would be 
expected anyway.  i'd love for you to be wrong also so we could all 
hear a lot more early 90s vocal samples dropped all over the place on 
every song.

think about it.
