Elektron Musical Instruments

hi all, I'm new to this newsletter

I am considering getting a machinedrum soon, as I'm getting sick of 
all the VSTi plugin craze and unreliability. 

first general question is : in what context do you use this machine ? 
ie which musical style ? is it all electro-ish or are there any 
more "organic" producers using the thing out there ? 
all the demos on MD website are great, but except that Norwegian 
guy , to me they all sound either crap, either very kraftwerk-like, 
and that's not what I am after... 

another question I have is about the insert effects on each machine : 
can you chain them or are they mutually exclusive to each other (ie 
you can only use one at a time)

thanks for your thoughts

Olivier
