Elektron Musical Instruments

So, it's not blind when I feel my life as a musician is enriched by  
these tools these folks toil over, where my relationship with them  
goes back through the introduction of the Machinedrum and through the  
beta of the monomachine and watched time and time again Daniel and  
the elektron crew be responsive, helpful, upfront and honest every  
step of the way.  Features I've suggested have made it in and bugs  
I've reported have been fixed in short order.

This is anything but blind.  Elektron is a solid company with honest  
folks, aside from their foul (supposedly circumstantial) luck with  
their US repair folk.  But, when I bought my Machinedrum, US service  
wasn't even on the cards (and was something I considered with dismay  
when I bought the thing).

Anyway, I apologize if I'm jumping down your throat here, but I feel  
discarded by so many capitalist machines that when I see someone  
making an honest profit I get a bit sympathetic.
