(edited from the forum) Another thing to consider, mostly directed to who keeps repeating "stop complaining and make some music". The MD - as every other Elektron product - is definitely a top-end, professional product (even just for the price of it!). So why shouldn't it deserve a professional and constructive attitude coming from its users? Most of us are not here to merely criticize the MD and spread bad reputation across the web. We spend our time here because we'd like to understand where the issue (that many of us feel as an important point) is and hopefully help Elektron improve the situation. On any hi-end, pro gear forum/list nobody will sidetrack the technical discussion about how a A/D-D/A converter, a boutique preamp or a summing box perform saying "shut the f**k up and go make some music". Why shouldn't be the same thing here, regarding the MD? The SPS-1 is marketed as a high end percussion synthesizer and rhythm sequencer. In my own experience the synthesis part is simply brilliant: digitally cold and sharp as a razor blade (I definitely didn't buy my MD to emulate those analog TR boxes) but so incredibly versatile and inspiring. Like many others I found that the sequencing part of the MD could be improved, mostly regarding its timing aspect. So please tell me, where's the "heresy"?
