Elektron Musical Instruments

I am not familiar with the Berlin school but i use the MD for lots of different styles and 
found it to be the perfect tool for any kind of beat.
You can even fake a real drummer to some extent.
It generates chestbreaking punch and the fact that every beat for every sound can 
have its complete own set of parameter values makes it a wonderful source for 
organic and interesting grooves.
I love the LFOs.With them even a simple one bar pattern will sound everchanging.

Dont trust the demos on the Elektron website.
Most of them sound rather cheesy.
The same is true for the onboard patterns, but its so easy and fun to make your own.

best
