Elektron Musical Instruments

First of all, guys... THANK YOU SO MUCH.

It is realy difficult for me to make a choice as i have to make the right
decision.
When i buy a machine, i wish i would never sell it back. Apparently there
are a lot of parameters to edit in the MD. I was fearing that it wasn't the
case.

Thanks again Craz, Kraken and Private-Joy.

Take care you all... and i am happy to say I'M WITH MACHINEDRUM!  =; )
Anybody selling one in Europe???............HA HA HA Loooool... =; D
