Re: [elektron] Monomachine Contra

2003-03-16 by steril707

Well, its a 6 part multitimbral Groovebox for 2000 Euro. Its 
certainly gonna be interesting. but thats a lot of money.

if clavia would release something with specs like that (a 6 Part 
multitimbral nord lead with an integrated sequncer) people would be 
more critical.

Actually the Electribe Mx looks a lot like that (not fully), and 
will certainly cost a lot less.

I actually plan to buy a Monomachine, i just feel they have to push 
the specs a lot more to be up-to-date and priceworthy.



Peace,
Steril /Gigolo Records
