Elektron Musical Instruments

Yes, I agree with you.  Two OS's sounds like a crazy idea to me, 
especially with the whole concept of the MD being a very streamlined, 
un-cluttered instrument.  The MD is cool because it's powerful but 
extremely USEABLE, unlike lots of the powerful yet "nerdy" instruments 
out there which only really appeal to spec-heads and techies doing 
sound experiments as opposed to actually making music.
