Elektron Musical Instruments

I am really a big fan of Elektron Products, i own the Machinedrum, 
and i am quite happy about it (not about everything).

i feel most of you are a little bit too "uncritical" when it comes 
to Elektron Products. Almost kind of religious.

i think its weird how most of you are praising facts of the 
Monomachine, which are completely standard, or not really that 
amazing in the Year 2003 anymore.

the known facts:
* it's 6 part multitimbral (as is my 4 year old novation nova)
* it has some kind of stepsequencer per part (like a korg electribe)
* it has a good load of knobs for tweaking (but not sooo many, 
compared to a Nord Lead 3, or even a Virus).
* It has a dedicated Effect Unit per Instrument(like my old Nova) 
* and it costs "under 2000 Euro", as somebody was stating here...(i 
think 2000 Euro is quite a lot)
* nobody knows the about the MMs' sound quality yet

i think the overall concept of the Monomachine is quite interesting, 
and i appreciate Elektrons unique style in designing Synths, but i 
guess you guys should keep a little bit more to the ground, and 
cling to the facts. And i hope Elektron will do a Synth machine for 
the Machinedrum in one of their next Updates for the OS.
