Elektron Musical Instruments

Daniel,
did you take any videoclips of the Namm monodemo yourself that you plan to put 
online?
"Sound quality" of the clips i saw sofar and the way the clips were edited didnt do the 
mono any justice. (although it was cool to see the joystick in action)
Well, i ordered mine at my local dealer already anyway.

Any idea when you will be able to start delivery of the SFX-60?

Will it be possible to use a midicontroller like the chaospad to mimic the function of 
the joystick?

best
Hans
