very, very well...it is also good for
some new-school glitch. ;)

no, because while the MD has SRR, it does
not have BDR. that said, you can still make
all manner of crusty timbres.

I cannot answer other than to say that my MD
has been sweet from day 1 with no problems,
and that feedback from the list and other
sources has indicated similar experiences.
For those couple of people I spoke to who
did have to return their MD, they got their
unit back very quickly (2 days) and all was
well.
