Elektron Musical Instruments

Just to add my voice.....

I had hardware problems when I first got the MD, but since then it is 
stable, solid and still the sexiest piece of gear I have ever owned =0)  If 
I could afford two of them I might even dump Cubase and just run Ableton 
Live  and some hardware (oh if only the MD did triplets... or they made the 
send to the delay pre-fader so we could fake it).

thinking happy thoughts
