C'mon guys! I just got MM myself. Don't talk me into it, I can't afford to  
get hooked any more than this!

Having been using er-1 for a while I really appreciate the pattern  
programming in MM. Not that er-1 isn't easy, but it's so limited. The  
whole kit/pattern stuff is just so easy and flexible to work with. And the  
possibility to control my other midi gear (er-1 too!)... and autosave!  
And...

Anyways, sorry for the offtopic. Hello to you all, fellow Elektron users!

yeah, i got a monomachine because of the machinedrum.  that metal plate 
their house with most be brushed with with gear-cocaine or something

  " Anyway, I haven't even gotten to my favorite part - pattern 
  programming. This is where the MD really shines. Before owning the MD 
  I used to be pretty lazy about drums; I'd just loop a midi clip in 
  Live and record a basic drum beat, copy it a few times and add 
  progressively more elements to each descending clip so that I ended 
  up with a few variations and then I'd just copy and paste into tracks 
  and then I was done. The MD really revitalized my interest in drum 
  programming because 1.) it is so easy 2.) it is insanely flexible 3.) 
  it sounds soooooo goood! "

Hahah yeah. Not exactly the most politically correct moniker, I 
admit :)

You know, when it comes to hardware there seem to be a slew of people 
that run around justifying hardware purchases by saying "they like 
knobs and hands on control". Some of this is probably true, but there 
are always a few that just want hardware because they think it 
legitimizes them as a producer. 

Anyway, elektron gear to me seems to be the ultimate hardware 
purchase - it's hardware which is justifiably hardware since what you 
can do with it and the way you interact with it would be very hard to 
completely replicate in software...even with a dedicated controller. 
Plus there is always the fact that it has that menacing red screen 
which just seems to be continually taunting you to come over and make 
another mind-bending pattern :D

yah..... i've been having...... discussions...... with friends about hard/software... and subsequently a bunch of time considering.... and.... maybe this is just me.... but i have YET to find a piece of software that makes me want to pry the cover off and dig in the guts of it..... like some hardware does.

i know some people don't like 'em, but i've always loved my korg em1 and emx1.  taking JUST them on trips (w/out even a laptop) has made me spend time figuring out how to stuff on them that i would usually just whip out on a pc sequencer... and that's good times.

i dunno.  soft is cool for the portability/money, but i LOVE my hardware bits.

mmmmm...... hardware bitsssssss.......
