Elektron Musical Instruments

Yah I agree, I just think people should appreciate the MD for sounding different. It's easy to say I wish it sounded like a 909, could do 303 bass sounds, had nord lead sounds etc. You can do all that with a Roland type groovebox. If the MD did everything people wanted, then it wouldn't be unique.

I guess the good thing about trying to emulate is that you discover new sounds and learn the machine in the process, even if you don't get the sound you wanted. :o)

  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.

  exactly the same way. If you really want them, then just get a cheap 
  SU200 sampler that can run in sync...
