Elektron Musical Instruments

The reason the Microwave XT is such a great monster synth is BECAUSE 
of its trashiness.  Have you ever played with one?

I own one, and the filters are a force to be reckoned with.  The 
waveshaping filters are unbelievably nasty and can generate sub-bass 
patches that will torture your woofers.

Another thing: the XT has a huge frequency range - much broader than 
other digital machines.  The bass goes as low as 7Hz.  You can 
easily destroy your speakers if you get carried away.
