Aha! That might change things...

I thought Zeit and Schrittmacher were about the same price - something like
1500-1600 Euros...

Actually the thing that makes me look at the other sequencers (be it
Schrittmacher, Zeit, P3, or anything), is the fact that I will be able to
use (endless) rotary knobs. It's a very flexible way of adding /changing
note and controller data.

I do have 2 Electribes with the excellent X0X step sequencer system, and I
also own a MachineDrum with the same type of sequencer. As far as I can see
it now, a MnM would be exactly the same system, so I would basically only
get some new synth engines in a cool box... Or would I?

Could you explain if (and how) the sequencing on the MnM is different from
the Electribe way of adding notes (playing the little keyboard or changing
existing data with the wheel)?

thanx.
