Elektron Musical Instruments

Infinatley cooler?  now that is definatly a positive thing to hear....

The way i imagined it was pretty much writing drum tracks seperatly
from everything else, and having the MD operate on its own, and having
the sync signal going to the 909 which will be operated remotly.  i
think i'll be able to write tunes on both machines seperatly, and play
them together, or at least thata what i'm hoping.  

i guess i'll find out when i get home today and rip the box open like
a rabid monkey on a crate of bannanas....

glad i got the first post out of the way, since i imagine you guys are
probably close 2 the only human contact i'll have for next few months,
and the studio becomes a cocoon....

someone tell my wife i'm still alive in a couple weeks, ya?
