Yes.. the MD is 100% digital. Even the TRX machines that 'emulates' classic
analog have a digital feel to me. They're 'harder'.

Each machine has up to 8 parameters with up to 127 values. Then each track
has 'effects' ; again 8 parameters. If you look for loads of tweaking, this
is the one.

Don't have a jomox but I would say they are totally different. The tone is
going to be different (since they are based on a total different
architecture); each of them will do some stuff the other does not.

Hope this helps;
