Elektron Musical Instruments

I've been using machines to compose (sidsta, fr-777,
mc-202, korg mono/poly, half-dozen distortion boxes,
sps-1, half-dozen delays, ez-kits, asr-x, mirages, esq's,
x0x, cyclone, etc) then I play out
live with a sampler (sp-808).  the 808 never crashes,
if it breaks i'll just get a new one cheap on e-bay,
no software to fuck around with and there's still
a good deal of spontaneity/interactivity that you
don't get with laptops.  it's a decent compromise...
