Elektron Musical Instruments

Believe it or not,
but the components used on the MachineDrum are very low-cost and not 
high quality.
I've had the same issues with my 6 turn wheels and sent it back to sweden.
They fixed it, but I'm not sure when the problems will come again..
It is not good elektron!  Use better components! (as you would expect 
for a machine of that price)
