Re: [elektron] 909 hats

Right on.  But you can't blame people trying to emulate.  It can move 
the crowds.  I wish I had a better argument for this.  I try not to 
emulate however.  I really don't care what other drum machines sound 
like.  I love my MD.  It leaves the 909 in the dust.

the Yamaha DX7 electric piano. Every friggin record uses them in 
exactly the same way. If you really want them, then just get a cheap 
SU200 sampler that can run in sync...
