Elektron Musical Instruments

Hey Xavier
I guess the man is right. Of course that you don\ufffdt wan\ufffdt to make pads with 
the thing but implementing new waveforms wouldn\ufffdt be that hard, and it would 
give extra tones for you patterns. I\ufffdd never sell my other gear because of 
the MD because they offer other sounds and mangling possibilities than the 
MD. Now, if we\ufffdre talking about maximizing MD\ufffds potencial with a minimum of 
effort I can\ufffdt see why that can\ufffdt be done. This new OS seems much better but 
it\ufffds improvals are only on the seq dept. I think that if a product can be 
improved he has to be. I can\ufffdt imagine elektron releasing a MD2 in the near 
future. Better is to keep developing it to get new buyers.
About new products, my wishsynth would be an FS1r with some knobs and really 
intuitive UI. :) A step sequencer would be great too :P
