Elektron Musical Instruments

...lazy musician :))). well, i would call it the opposite: a musician who wants to make music, 
and for that reason refueses to use gear which is obstructive in almost every workflow 
related aspect. hey, the s1 again is completely destructive, with no saving possibilities. but 
its a pleasure to work with it. would you still call me lazy, if i tell you this is my favourite 
synth? and i want to clarifiy one thing: editing sounds with the mm it is not the problem; 
although the ui is crap and the hardware is cheap, the strong and characterful sound is a 
good trade in. but imagine you were sequencing from logic, with six monophonic 
machines set up...what a hell of a pain in the ass the preset management is. sorry for 
being unprecise in my previous posts, but this is actually my main point. unbearable! it 
would be so relieving if you could at least from every type of machine skip through the 
whole preset memory based on this machine, instead of always loading content that i 
don't wanna load. i think, i'll give it another chance, and request it for the next software 
release. 

oh, for the powercore version, i'd buy it straight away. :)))
