Agreed, anything they make will of course be unique and have features
that will blow our minds.  I was serious about the multiple MIDI outs
and thrus,though.  I whish the Machinedrum could act as the master
sequencer in my studio, but it can't control all my other synths the
way my MPC60II does.   ...oh, and another wish for any new Elektron
product: sturdy knobs mounted to the case.
