Elektron Musical Instruments

I've been curious about the manikin-electronic sequencer, but I've 
only been able to find info in German about it. I am contemplating 
purchasing a p3 soon - this seems to be a very powerful step 
sequencer, going way beyond the capabilities of the monomachine's 
sequencer.

The monomachine's sequencer is nice, and is extremely well integrated 
into the synth, but it lacks some features that you would expect from 
a dedicated step sequencer - most notably the ability to make tracks 
of different lengths.
