Elektron Musical Instruments

i recieved my sidstation from 'drummachine.com' a few days ago, and i must say i'm guite infatuated with it. i was initially shocked at how noisy it was, but a gate is helping now. 
  also a concern of mine is the knobs only going up to 125 most of the time, and 126 if i work at it. are they supposed to go to 127? please let me know if any of you have noticed this.
  and do any of you have suggestions for the update speed, and/or hcut. i want good live timing, and i can't seem to notice much a difference in settings for these.

well...i hope they run out of 6581 chips soon, before they get popular. i feel lucky that i got one....the world will never know what hit 'em!

peace.
