Elektron Musical Instruments

I just ordered that. it's the same line as the one nathan got, but it's got a taller dimension 
as well as shorter (37") so it'll fit in theory an MD and MNM tabletop plus a small mixer ;)

I'll post pics/report once it gets here. It'll be interesting carrying it around in NYC. I figure 
I'll load it up with stickers or spraypaint a bob dobbs stencil head on it....
