Elektron Musical Instruments

I have roland, yamaha, korg and emu gear. I have never had any synth or gear from any of them that the company didn't update. And each item has had some bugs at some point (i.e. Roland often releases updates that provide no new features).

  no I just have no life so I reply to people's questions quickly :-)

  yes... but again, this is a user's forum; people come here for help
  a lot.  and Elektron have updated their OS's several times and in the
  process, introduced new bugs. very often problems occur in the
  grace period following a new OS release, while it's still being
  beta tested.  Elektron are great that way - they allow their
  customers the option of trying beta level software instead of just
  letting five select people do it. there's greater chance for
  debugging it right if there's more people using it.

  for example, right now people are finding bugs in the individual
  swing feature of the Machinedrum; but that was their option to
  upgrade to the new (beta) OS.  they can very well resort back to
  the much more stable (but less featured) previous OS.

  perhaps not. but Elektron are only a few people, after all.  I guess most
  people who've used their gear are more forgiving, due to the enormous
  level that their gear is enjoyed.  in other words, though there are
  a few issues here and there, it's seldom that anyone comes in here and
  says "I'm selling this gear because its unreliable."  if that's happened
  at all, that is.
