Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi guys and gals,

I have been on and off this list for some time, and I can't seem to make up
my mind. Although I do own some hardware sequencing gear (MachineDrum - of
course! - Electribes, Roland MC-505), I am still looking for that *one*
intuitive sequencer that can give me that something extra...

I don't need any more stuff from big guys like Roland, Korg, Yamaha. I would
like to invest in 1 special item that will help me discover new, exciting
(ways of making) music.

I am very much interested in the MonoMachine, but to be honest, the demo's
and loops I have heard until now have not given me that "YEESSSS!!" feeling.
BTW, I just listened to some of Roonan's stuff (including MNM and MD), which
is cool. It is also the kind of music I'm into.

At the moment I have 2 options. One is the Monomachine. Two is the
Schrittmacher.

It's kind of an oldfashioned stepsequencer, but with a load of modern
options. No internal sounds, though.

I know what the Schrittmacher can do, but could you guys point me to some
really cool MnM demo's or mp3's, some tips, hints, some new knowledge that
would help me with my decision?

Thanx.

:-)
