Well, I don't think that the MD is such a "cold" machine.

It has got 4 synthesis engines, resonating hi/lo filters, eq and efx.
It just sounds the way you like!
It may take a bit more to achieve the sound you're looking for, but 
it's often possible.

Anyway, I haven't got any vintage or analog drum machine, but I listen 
to much music of every genre, and I believe that the MD can produce a 
huge variety of sounds.

Ok, I'm back to it's knobs now :-)
