Elektron Musical Instruments

Yeah i find that a good point actually, 64 steps (4 measures) is 
better than 32 steps (2 measures)  which i think is rather poor with 
the MD.  But then again i think of the 606,707, 727 & 909 which only 
have 16 steps, the 808 32 steps.  Korg ER-1 has 64 steps though!   Md 
should have had 64 steps to allow for variations so you wouldnt need 
to pattern chain so often as it would take up user space.

I think there is scope for Elektron to make OS updates, say go from 
32 steps to 64.
