Elektron Musical Instruments

Think of it as giving back to your country.  OK 10 out of 1000.  It's
still less than 1% of the output.  Sometimes it's the wrong power supply.

Yes, I'm defending a great product that you can't find anywhere else.
 And no I don't work for them.  i've just had a good experience.  Some
have had bad experiences.  This does not mean the bad outweigh the
good since they are so few and far between.  There are alot of posts
here about it because there is not much else to talk about the
machine.  It works great. When there is nothing wrong, there isn't
much traffic here.  When someone has a problem we seem to post about
it for a week or so.  It's blown out of proportion.  Wither you want
the machine or you'll never know.
