Elektron Musical Instruments

After 8 months with the MD and the VST Rack Attack,
for me I know I made the right choice.  When sculpting
sound every peice of kit has it's unique merits and
there's plenty with lots of knobs that are capable of
amazing sound, but can are proportionally a real
drudge to get there. 

For me nothing I have is as easy to use and propels me
as quick down a creative thread as the MD. Which is
why I'm quivering to try the MonoMachine (and brings
me back to that orginal dillema of how to explain
another piece of hardware ;-)

Here's a twist on UI usability - my 6 year old
daughter loves to come in and "participate" when I
work.  I let her use the MD.  Now she's 6 - but what
never ceases to amaze me is how much she can do with
the MD.  I've actually kept a number of her raw
patterns and built from them.  She does some things
(naively, accidently, randomly, on purpose?) that
would never occur to me.

How many pieces of kit do you own that could pass a 6
year-old usability test?
