Elektron Musical Instruments

1. I know the MD is now pretty much a set and stable feature-set, so I'm 
reluctant to ask; but the one thing that would make me whip out my credit 
card right this second, the one thing that is my dream feature on this 
machine would be... an FM Pitched Woodblock machine. I just love those 
classic DX woodblock sounds and always use them in my beats. So if the MD 
could do them, I would be in drum-programming heaven. Possible? Not? Who 
else would like this, or am I just a lone voice in the wilderness?

2. As I see it, the MonoMachine is directly (okay, not so directly - but 
more or less) competing with synths like the Virus. One of those machines' 
biggest strengths is their huge and varied patch libraries. I for one would 
love to see a similar range and variety available on the Mono. It occurred 
to me that the most practical way of a developing a huge preset patch 
library for the machine would be users... the First 100 to be precise. Once 
the kits are closer to their final sound, Elektron could invite all of the 
first 100 to submit their 10 best patches; of these, the best 256 or 512 or 
however many would be chosen to ship with the Mono or be downloadable from 
the website; this would definitely reward the first 100 personally but 
moreover would generate a fantastic preset bank and be a great incentive to 
future purchasers.

What do you all think? Let us know.


Angus.
