Re: [elektron] OK... Help to make a choice between Rack Attack and MachineDrum

oooh...stay away from the yamaha a series....I have had an a4000 for 
the past year and it has given me more than a few headaches...the 
sound architecture is fine and all, in fact there is just one problem 
with it....but the problem is so glaring that it almost kills the 
creative potential of the instrument...and that problem is *drum roll* 
the knobs...the knobs are just downright awful.....it seems like 
there's a little telepathic demon living in each one, who knows what 
you're trying to do with the knob and causes it to do the exact 
opposite....I don't know what kind of crappy knob supplier yamaha is 
doing business with, but it really just kills the potential of the 
sampler, IMO.  Trust me, it sounds like something you could adjust to 
but after a year, I still curse them every time I use them, and many 
bursts of inspiration have died at their stubborn hands....

ok, my rant is over.
