Elektron Musical Instruments

there's a thread at the moment about how well the MD is suited to 
drum and bass. I am interested in how suited it is for drill n bass.

I own a machinedrum, but at the moment I don't play live - but will 
be in the near future, and the MD will be an integral part of my 
setup (which is very small, btw).

I don't really make drill and bass, but more glitchy almost IDM-ish 
stuff. I do though, use a lot of the stuttery, fast retrigs akin to 
drill n bass (very aphex twin and squarepusher-ish). at the moment I 
am doing this in reason when I'm working on the computer, and I'm 
wondering if this same effect will be possible on the machinedrum 
OTHER THAN the E12 machines (without sequencing externally).

the reason I ask, is because I would rely on the MD doing all 
sequencing - drums, and maybe triggering basslines and pads with the 
MIDI machines. is it possible to have more control over this kind of 
sequencing/fast retriggering using the MD sequencer?

sorry for the long post, I'm just trying to get my point across, lol.
