Elektron Musical Instruments

Yea I see your point, for some reason I didn't think of that (duh). I guess
that elektron is willing to take a small hit on their profit per unit by
selling to these companies where they can reach a larger audience, ie. sell
more units. But if everyone still just ordered from elektron then those
companies would not think it worth it to carry their products anymore. And I
think it was NAMM where Daniel mentioned that they made some deals for
others to sell their products (although novamusik always listed MD and SID,
but most of the time was never in stock).

So elektron how best can I support u?! :)
