Elektron Musical Instruments

Thanks guys for being so helpful!  

After reading your posts and looking around some more I think
I've 
decided on the Monomachine.  

Unfortunately either way I go my schedule and location doesn't
allow 
for much gigging so I will be using this thing mostly in my tiny 
little studio.  I'm thinking if I want traditional drum sounds
I'll 
use FLStudio.  It's treated me good so far and I've found
some real 
nice free samples on the net.  The thought of buying some RCA to
¼" 
cables and piping some drum sounds from my sound card to the 
Monomachine and then back to my mixer and sound card sounds exciting 
too.

Ultimately I want to get away from traditional sounding drum parts 
and work more towards minimalist kick drums supported by rhythmic 
blips, hisses, squelches, and just random weirdness.  I think the 
Monomachine will push me more in that direction.

What seals the deal is the fact I can't even find a used SPS-1
for 
sale.  I'm guessing that means the Monomachine is going to be
just 
as desirable and the fact I can always sell it and swap it for a MD 
is reassuring.  

Thanks again!  I'll be watching for anymore advice :)
