Elektron Musical Instruments

Thank you.  I understand that the drum sounds are
going to get old quick...but if they are useful at
all, I can use they as a scratch pad...and then add
them later in my computer.  I also understand that it
is 6 monophonic tracks.  However, I am ok with 3-4
tracks of drums and 3-2 tracks of synths.  I'm very
minimal generally speaking.  I may have to buy
both...but right now, I'm going with the
Monomachine...because I can do drums on my computer (I
have a huge sample library).  I cannot do what the
Monomachine offers in my computer.  I won't buy for
another month...so I may change my mind and get a
Machinedrum.  It really depends.  The sample reduction
should help a bit with these drums.
