does the machinedrum sound like an analogue drum machine?
sure, in a vague, suggestive way.  then again, it doesn't,
at all.

can a machinedrum replace an analogue drum machine?
sure, but that's a reflection of your needs and ears as a
producer, not of the machinedrum.

if you need the real thing, get the real thing.  if you
think you want a machinedrum, do the sensible thing and find
a way to play with one in person before you drop a chunk of
change that large.

i will say that it's the best drum machine i've ever played,
period.
