I haven't had any crashes, but sometimes I get it into a state
where the pushed-in knobs don't affect the sound, and the not-pushed-in
knobs return the value to its orig. setting!  I'm not sure if this is
a normal, special mode?!?!   Hopefully, they can fix this little bug!

Now, onto the hysteria!

Jesus!  This machine is awesome!  a lot of power packed into a little box.

I LOVE: 

simultaneous effects processing!
save your pattern while it's still playing!  (just like my amiga 500)
LFO's.....sweet..
Parameter Locks...oh, boy!  one for every step, every parameter!
Parameter Lock *SLIDES*  wow!
Stereo Headphone Output (chillin in bed under the covers)
How intuitive the whole thing is...the manual is scarcely necessary!
The built-in delay is very good, I appreciate the long memory and the Freq.
  Modulation...just like my two rack delays!

suggested enhancements:
More resolution for LFO speed at the low end of the scale
  (there are only 3-4 settings of LFO which are truly Low...
  Low for me is like 0.05 <-> 2 Hz), although it is cool that they can go
  very high, I like mellow....
Longer decays on bass drum sounds...(think hip-hop)
Pressing "LFO" should exit the LFO menu; the "Function" button should not be
  needed in conjunction
Get the knob shafts adjusted to the right height before shipping...

pie in the sky dream enhancement:
A monophonic side sequencer for sending note messages to a SIDstation- then
  a whole setup could be Machinedrum and SidStation next to each other :)
  ( route the SidStation audio output into the Machine drum input )
  [ as it is, I'll probably just use my QrappY Yamaha QY-10 for the job!)

Thanks folks, a good example of getting what you pay for,
