Elektron Musical Instruments

I own a FIZMO Rack and, while I do love the sounds (it's true, nothing 
sounds like it), the synth has worn thin on me.

It's impossible to really push a FIZMO to it's limits using just the 
knobs on the front panel.  Sound Diver *necessary* to get everything 
one can out of the synth.  I don't like that so much.

Also, while it is completely unique, it's range within the 'unique' 
playing field is nowhere near as broad as other 'unique' synths.

I've considered selling it many times, as the clumsy interface and 6lb 
editor-dongle (my powerbook w/ sounddiver) sort of force it to get 
special treatment in my studio.  Some gear is worth special 
treatment... but, to me, I think in the end the FIZMO will not.

Special treatment is reserved for the synths I can't live w/o.  My 
patchable analog synth, for example, can't store patches, so it has a 3 
ring binder next to it with patch sheets, but man I couldn't live 
without the thing...
