Elektron Musical Instruments

Hey Andy,

I bought an SFX-6 in June/July last year, when the first 100 were  
offered.  I recently sold the unit to purchase an SFX-60.

I *really* liked the keys on the SFX-6.  Actually, in a perfect world,  
I'd have kept the SFX-6 without hesitation... Perfect world being one  
where the SFX-6 had aftertouch.  This is the only reason I sold the  
SFX-6, no aftertouch.  I realize that the Monomachine itself doesn't  
know what aftertouch is, but I only want one keyboard synth in my  
studio if I can help it, for space considerations, and this keyboard  
needs to be versatile in controlling anything else in the studio...  
Many of my other synths support aftertouch, and I like to play  
expressively, so... it had to go.

If aftertouch is not important to you, and you could use another  
keyboard, the SFX-6 is just fine.

As for replacing the joystick, I see midi joysticks on ebay often for  
beans.  Also, it's not a nightmare to build your own midi joystick  
either (which is what I did, took about 2 hours and cost maybe $25 in  
parts).
