hi, you should shelve/sell them and those other drummachines. the
xl7 and electribe dont give the satisfaction or the ease of use of
the MD and the sounds dont nearly compare either. i have used both
at some stage.. MD is crispy clear quality sound combined with the
most well integrated hardware sequencer known to (wo)man. no-one can
fuck with it. as a synthesizer/drummachine, it stomps MPC and any
other digital device including ur laptop ;) into a worm hole. unless
you like making music with mice and samples that is. the only things
that the MD cant do is analogue drums (and a 909 hh). but it comes
very close with trx machines and you can sample an 808 or jomox
kick/snare/hh with the MDUW

its unbooleeevable, oh the joy.. im serious ;) much more fun than
staring at the screen but if you like doing that, the MD will
integrate with ur software sequencer beautifully. many people use
their computer to trigger patterns on MD an stuff.
I'd love features like real time swing/shuffle feedback. Does it
do that?
what is shuffle feedback?

its a totally different question, i would suggest MDUW if you
already have some synthesizers that you like. only drawback of using
MD as master sequencer is that you cant record to its sequencer from
a midi keyboard. monomachine has max 64 step/per pattern MD is 32..
u can link patterns. you can record to the monomachine sequencer, it
is quantised tho. get the MDUW.

you might think that now..
can the Monomachine do Machinedrum sounds?
it can in a very limited way.
