So you don't think the Machinedrum is takes alot from the TR909 idea?
 It's basically like a very modernized 909, you know.  I think
Elektron wants to make practical items too, not just weird.  There's
nothing wrong with taking the two very best sequencing methods and
combining them.

The FR revolution is just weird.  I demoed one and it has such a huge
footprint.  Great sound, but you pick it up and think "where the hell
am I supposed to put this thing".  It's not rackmountable and takes up
too much space on a desk.  Randomizing function was fun, though.
