Elektron Musical Instruments

Thank you. actually, I do want to hear this...It means that there 
are some machinedrums out there which are perfectly functional 
and stable...My big fear is that I'll get my machinedrum back, or a 
new one, and it will be just as unstable....I'd rather think it's my 
MD than that they're just generally buggy...Anyone else have 
crash free operation, particularly when hooked up to a software 
sequencer?
