Elektron Musical Instruments

Well, here's my perspective:

I just recently got my MD, but I've had a monomachine and sidstation 
for a while and loved them. I sold a TR-909 to get my MD and I don't 
regret it at all. It replaces a rack of drum machines I've been 
hauling around for ages (Oberheim DMX, SCI Drumtraks, Zoom RT234, 
circuitbent HR-16) and I haven't yet found a style that I'd want to 
do that the MD couldn't handle. Chiptunes? Yep. House? Yep. Trance? 
Yep. Techno? Yep. Ambient? Yep.

This is quite a statement about a single drum machine! I am convinced 
that the MD is the ultimate drum machine for live use. Nothing even 
comes close for flexibility and stability in a live setting!

Anyway, I haven't even gotten to my favorite part - pattern 
programming. This is where the MD really shines. Before owning the MD 
I used to be pretty lazy about drums; I'd just loop a midi clip in 
Live and record a basic drum beat, copy it a few times and add 
progressively more elements to each descending clip so that I ended 
up with a few variations and then I'd just copy and paste into tracks 
and then I was done. The MD really revitalized my interest in drum 
programming because 1.) it is so easy 2.) it is insanely flexible 3.) 
it sounds soooooo goood! 

Now excuse me, I have some music to make :)
