Elektron Musical Instruments

I have the MD, and the MnM. I picked up the MnM exactly one month ago,
from this post, my 25 birth day. ^_^ 

If I had to pick one, to keep, or one to pick up first, it would be
the MnM, HANDS DOWN! Reason being that I can use the drums on the MnM
and the other synth engines to make a full track. It has a great user
interface! 

The MnM does not give you a fraction of the controll over the drum
sounds as the MD, but it is good enuff. Curently I dont have my studio
setup, as I am in the middle of a move, and thuse I use the MnM
exclusivly. I use 2-3 tracks devoted to drums, and the rest to what
ever, and it sounds real good. Did I mention it is easy to program?!? *_*

I'll have them both hooked up soon, and then I'll off load the drums
to the MD, and faten up the synths, by cloning them to a track
previously devoted to drums.
