Elektron Musical Instruments

Nate - thanks much! I plan on using it only for local gigs or for
anyplace involving car travel, so it'll work perfectly for that. 

I'll be using it with a yamaha 10 channel mixer and an md/mnm plus
room to spare for various fx gear, so far it looks like it will do
perfectly.

I love the look of the console, I will probably go for something
similar once I have a heavier tour schedule to rig up for.

Thanks much for your input!
