Elektron Musical Instruments

well....it's not a *huge* deal. the top metal part came off of the
shaft.  there's some glue residue on there, so it looks like they're
just glued onto the shaft. which is unfortunate. they *should* have a
hole in the metal part with a set-screw to secure it to the shaft. but
I'm guessing that Elektron didn't design the part itself...

those of you that own synths with similar joysticks, have there been
any reported problems with them?

anyhoo....I emailed Elektron, but then I wanted to play some more. :-)
I didn't feel like waiting until monday for a reply (I'm guessing
they're not around on the weekends), so I just glued it back on there.
 It seems pretty secure, but we'll see what happens.

so far, though, I've not had any major problems with the MM (<crossing
fingers>).  hardware problems were the only thing I worried about for
the beta release. software is easy to upgrade; but losing the MM for a
few weeks (along with the shipping costs) to get it repaired would SUCK!

this thing is just breathing ideas into me (just like the MD) and I'm
very happy with it, even with the joystick problem.
