maybe "inflexible" is a better adjective :-)

anyway, I see your point about workflow and I can relate (to other  
gear).

yeah I can see how this would be annoying from your point of view.  I
never scroll through presets on the MnM tho.  it's too easy to edit  
it and
create an entirely new sound, tailored to the work at hand.  that's much
easier and more fun than scrolling through presets, in my opinion.  and
really not any more difficult than creating an entirely new sound on  
your
s1, when you think about it.

I wouldn't hold my breathe on Elektron implementing such a scrolling  
preset
feature, though.  that seems out of the realm of the MnM's focus.

me too!  (but again, I wouldn't hold my breathe on it ever happening)
