Yes, but it's important that you understand that this is the condition
*at present*. While some have argued that they believe Elektron view the
MachineDrum as a "closed" product, I believe that this just can't be
true. There's too much potential here for them to just walk away, and
besides, the realtime performance community representys a good
purchasing audience (you and me for example, and others to be sure.)

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw enhancements to make the machinedrum
more "playable" in realtime from an external controller.

But hey, they are now working to get the MonoMachine out so let's just
wait and see?

Meanwhile, you've got the world's best drum machine?
