> The live performance capabilities exceed anything else on
the market

To me the Rm1x was useless for live work, I don't see playing live as
playing back patterns, I see it as being completely original on the fly
sequencing, and the RM1x just cant do that...I had an rm1x when they first
came out and returned it for its lack of decent sounds (this was when I
didn't have external gear to sequence), then when the RS7000 came out I got
one of those to play live with, not realizing it had the same useless (in my
opinion) sequencer as the RM1x, so I returned that, and bought a
Machinedrum, I have never been happier, for me, the MD completely blows away
the rm1x/rs7000.

Subject: Re: [elektron] MD vs RM1x seq

Ive got a Rm1x, but no MD... I do own a sidstation though

In my opinion the MD cannot replace the RM at all... because the RM is
designed to be a sequencer first - 64 note poly, 16 tracks MIDI 480,000
notes, etc. etc.  Plus those realtime knobs are mapped to some very cool
MIDI effects like MIDI delay, clock shift, harmonize, etc. etc.  The MD has
Midi machines as a sidenote - its main function is to make beats, and
specifically to synthesize the instruments in a novel (and I imagine ass
whooping) way.  The RM's synth engine is whack, it can do a few things o.k.
but nothing outstanding.  Thats why I use it to sequence my keyboard and
other synths.  At one point I was planning on buying a MD as well as a
RS7000 - but for now my budget wont even support a floppy disk, so I put my
gear wishlist on hold.  I will say that with the RM or RS and a MD, you
could do some really killer stuff - considering that you can trigger
patterns on the MD by using different notes, you could set up a track on the
RM using a few notes here and there and then simply mute and unmute to
affect the MD pattern changes - and thats just the beginning.  Personally I
would never get rid of my RM1x until I got a RS7000 or something just like
it but better.  The live performance capabilities exceed anything else on
the market.
