Hi, I assume you're an Oasys PCI owner, then? ;0)

Nope, though I'd like to play with one at some point, the demos sound
interesting.

That's definitely what I'm digging about the MD, the built in insert
effects per machine.

I can't wait to have some time to really dig in and play with it... I have
been so busy that I haven't had any spare time to really learn the MD or
the airbase yet.

The MD doesn't really replicate an 808 very well, so don't buy it for
that, but it can do similar sounds (but different) very well. I won't be
selling the 808 any time soon.
