Having said that, how do you think Elektron will fare in the already 
super-saturated VA synth market?  I worry about this one - anybody 
can program a VA synth (look at all of the VSTI's out there) - but 
knowing how to program a _good_ VA synth is something entirely 
different.  Clavia, Waldorf, Access, and NI know how, but they 
obviously hired the right people.  Does Elektron have somebody who 
knows the intricacies of programming an excellent resonant filter?  
If they do, I'm not sure he worked on the MD...  

Competing with the heavyweights of the digital synth market is going 
to be an eyeopener.  I wish them the best of luck.  What do you think 
Matt? (Since you're the M@ responsible for a whole slew of Bank G 
presets on my Virus, you might have an opinion here?) Can Elektron 
pull it off?
