Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi,

I'm new to this group so i'll introduce myself:
I'm Ronald, a Live Techno performer called Roonan.
For 10 years i've been jamming and producing all kinds of dance music.
More info: www.roonan.nl

I bought the machinedrum a week ago to complement my Live set.
Already I use (Live) a RS7000, an ES-1 and a Kaosspad II.

I wanted to know if there are more guy's like me that use the 
machinedrum Live.
I'm still looking for an easy way to work this baby along with my 
other boxes.
The muting system is not as easy as the RS and i think that 32 step 
patterns are not long enough for me.
So i have to select new patterns a lot to keep things interesting and 
since it's easy to select the wrong pattern's when you're not 
focussed on this box only, pattern mode is not the easiest way to go 
Live.

So my idea was to use it in song mode and use endless loop points to 
mark theme's.(read long patterns, 4 - 32 measures)
For every next theme i will skip the loop point so the next section 
will start.(and loop again)
This way i can have sections as long as i want.
I haven't tried this but if the mute system can be used in this 
scenario i think it will be an easy workable solution. 

Does anyone has other suggestions?

GrtzZz. Roonan.
