Elektron Musical Instruments

I have just sold my Akai MPC (boo !) which is being replaced by a 
Powerbook (yay !). I intend using the Machinedrum to control 
softsynths (primarily Reaktor, but possibly VST instruments as well).

Is anyone else doing this ? Do things such as EXS24 / Model E work OK 
with the MD's continuous pots ?

Thanks for any response, as ever.
