Elektron Musical Instruments

no pb thx. I had been quite provocative as well :)

>Why should machine geeks now diss
> computer geeks?

especially considering that most current synths are very close to be 
repackaged and not wintel-based computers

The real reason why I favour "hardware" over "software" currently is 
just that when I come back to work it is so easy to just switch on 
the MD and the Juno-106 and rock da house :)
Kind of simple and quickly available fun that I enjoy..
Maybe many people suffer from lacking time to use their stuff.. as 
for me, the arrival of the MD was a blessing cos' I like instant fun
No need to turn the computer on anymore in order to input a basic 
pattern.

regards

Xavier
