Hi,
I'm in the market for either the new Korg Electribe MX or the MD.  I
know the esoteric differences between MD and other drum machines, but
I wanted to get a bit more info from user groups.  The MX has going
for it: 9 part drums, 5 part synth, arp, real tube outputs, ribbon
controller, and a host of other features typical of the Electribe
units.  So, for the money it seems that the MX would be more
versatile, not so much in sound design , but more so in the everyday
use department.  Anyone would care to comment on the everday usage of
the MD within their setup?

Thanks,
