Elektron Musical Instruments

I think the Machinedrum is great for any kind of fat
beats, and a great hip-hop drum machine. I do mostly
Techno, but I did do a live "trip-hop" set once on the
MD and a couple of friends told me the beats sounded
like Boards of Canada, so that can't be bad (sorry you
can't hear it, but I had it in MP3.com and now that's
dead). You can get Old-Skool beats like old drum
machines, as well as futuristic Amon Tobin sounding
stuff. Also, the thing everybody has always raved
about the MPC is it's "swing", the way the beats sound
really loose on the MPCs, and the MachineDrum has a
lot of swing options, so you can get your beats
sounding really loose as well. On the other hand, that
MPC-1000 looks really sweet, and if you don't have a
sampler and want to do hip-hop, you might want to go
for the MPC. To this day Squarepusher sequences on an
MPC-2000, so they're really both good, just different.
I myself had been thinking about the MPC-1000 for my
live set, but I just got a Quasimidi 309(and now am
falling in love with the Spectralis), but, again, I do
Techno and love synthetizers.
