Elektron Musical Instruments

This is why:
In the past 15 years Roland has basically tried to
sell us their sound canvas 150 different ways. Their
whole approach to making music machines is to put out
sounds for the more mainstream producers of electronic
music, and for the less discerning, in many instances.
Heck, their 3 most famous machines - 808, 909, 303,
we're basically mistakes to their eyes, as they did
not accomplish what they wanted. Elektron, on the
other hand, has precisely the opposite approach to
making instruments. Machines that are well
constructed, that have the ability to create new
sounds, and that make no compromises.
The same comparison can be made between Basement Jaxx
and Autechre.
