I would suggest that (even over Novamusik.com as well) since they're great
folks and have very prompt shipping (as do Elektron).  plus you don't have to
worry about it possibly getting held up at customs or getting fees by
mistake that you would have to dispute, etc.

I don't know if they have any such goodies for the MnM yet. if they do, I
want some!  but either way, you'll probably get some literature about
the MD, Sid and Elektron, etc.

I imagine they get the same amount of $ either way (if that weren't the
case, I personally would order direct to try and support them as much as
possible).  it's probably more convenient (for the reasons mentioned above)
to order from audiomidi.com given that you're in the states.

hope that helps!
