Elektron Musical Instruments

Um.... you named several different synths that have the COMBINED
capabilities of  ONE monomachine!! I have several other products (a lot of
which you named), so I do keep up with the the latest. The monomachine has
some very unique features, just as the rest of them. Plus it sounds like it
COMBINES a lot of unique features into ONE machine (i.e. MONOmachine)  ;).

I do agree that the monomachine is not creating some kind of
incomprehensible new technology as far as synths go, but I do think the
product sounds very interesting. I am waiting for more information though.

Thank for listening
