Elektron Musical Instruments

:) - No that's OK, gives me a little more to think about.

I've been away from drum machines and synths for - I don't know - 4
years ago now, and I'm sitting here playing around w/ the Live 5 Demo.
 I'm thinking about my last venture into all this and remembering how
much more I enjoyed hands on interaction and thinking the UW might be
cool for travelling, bringing over to friends houses, etc.

Maybe I don't need to make compromises - and Elektron stuff holds its
value better than the rest of the lot (if I recall, I traded my mint
SID Station for a mint FutureRetro 777 so kind of ended up making a
little money on the deal).

Still going to search the archives for UW + Electribe ES-1.

I've got a couple weeks before I have the $$ so the decision can wait.

Thanks!
