Elektron Musical Instruments

A bd-snd that can be all from nice and soft like old rythmbox style to hard hitting dancefloor kick.
Then I would buy it. 
On the other hand, I would buy it anyway, since I´m very satisfied with my Sidstation and the support I´ve recieved.
More parameters to change, easier to get in a mix.
And the BD should go on a seperate output, of course.
Long decay for those electro beats. Hard cut and filter for the dancefloor. Listen to TR909, TR808, old electric organs rynthmboxes, experimental new electronica.
