Elektron Musical Instruments

thanks for the replys. i'm actually getting a chance to demo both units hands-on next 
week so i'll have a better idea. incase anyone didn't realize Elektron has "sales reps" all 
over the world that can help you out and let you try out gear. from what i can see these 
are just owners of the synths generous enough to have strangers in their homes. pretty 
cool, and they probably get a little kick back from Elektron.
