Elektron Musical Instruments

I just got my monomachine running thanks to Flo's help!

I put up a picture of the Machinedrum and Monomachine side by side:

I did have a couple of keyboard keys that stuck, but that was because 
of a loose ribbon cable (fixed).  The lowest notes on the keyboard 
are a bit stiff on mine, but it's caused by the felt that is glued to 
the underside of the metal face, when the faceplate is off the keys 
move freely.

As for the sounds and interface, they are awesome so far.  I tried 
out the arpeggiator (I don't usually like arpeggiators) but this one 
is pretty cool, allowing triggers for the amp, filter or LFO to be 
set independently from the notes (you have to try it to understand).

The sound is good, although the formant machine seems very quiet on 
mine (hopefully will be taken care of in a future update).

The sequencer is great and the new layout of the buttons is more 
friendly than on machine drum (the global button for example, or the 
up and down buttons to get to the different edit pages).

I will try and get some sounds up when I get something worthwhile.

cheers
JK
