Elektron Musical Instruments

ooohhh yesss, what a hard joice you have choosen.
To be honest, it is a good feeling to have both, the MnM and in my
case the desktop version (one of the first evo's) and the four voice rack.
don't ask me about elektron gear, i am only a fan of this company and
will buy everything they produce (thanks, that they are not so fast
with this), but the evo is, if you like synths, a must have. The
keyboardversions also looking great, but i believe that the small
desktop is also not so compicated to work with, and it is quiet cheap
for what it is able to do. Honestly, the evo surprises me again and
again about the things you can do with just one voice.
I recommend to geth both, you don't have to hurry, both will stay up
for some more time on the market.
Together they are a very couple...
