Elektron Musical Instruments

I'm in the same situation (considering droping the money on a MD).  
This is what I have that may help you.  The MD is very 
industrial/electronic sounding, it's not going to give you that REAL 
drum sound.  If you like the way the MD is sequenced (definatly the 
best sequencing around, just like the roland X0X line) then it's 
right for you.  Just because IT doesnt make the drum sound you want 
doesnt mean you wont find use of it's sounds, and the sequencer can 
be used to sequence a nice but cheap sample unit.  I personaly have 
an E-MU E5000 Ultra that I will be using.  This will be my live setup:

Elektron Machinedrum
E-MU E5000 Ultra sampler
Future Retro 777 analog synth/sequencer
Roland MC-202 analog synth
Mackie DFX-12 console mixer

I also have a Yamaha RM1x, but Im not sure it will get used.  I would 
also like to have some analog efx processors, the Oakley Sound 
filtrex wold be nice but he's discontinuing it and you have to build 
it yourself, and Im not to good at that.  That in mind I'm open for 
suggestions on that front, and I mean something independant of the 
MD, as I know it has some abilities.
