Elektron Musical Instruments

I see there are competent users here.  I've had the MD for some years now.
With the misgivings about freezing and not duplicating the sounds of a 
previous days use, I still like having it around.  I didn't lose the faith when
MD would have most buyers questioning it's readiness.  Like a good consumer
I let it be known there were difficulties.  Now I have a MnM with the same issues.
I believe a lot has been accepted as just another day with the machines shutting
down or losing info.  
I would have liked more than a month to check out the machines.  If you have any
kind of life, I don't feel it's enough time to get past the initial perceptions of being
very programmable boxes.  People do not expect this from modules.  Not the
creative way to work the machines.  Not  the unreliable performance.  With these 
machines it isn't a matter of pairing a computer to a person who can't get a calculator to 
work.    Yet here's another machine, with similar inclinations to mess up a session.
Albeit a session that would not be possible without the machines.

Probably just a sour note. since I don't have audio record nor a file manage plan
just now.  I don't know that I should have to record to keep the info viable.  Sure, many
times that is the better course, or people wouldn't have samplers for some uses.
Just a creampuff blowing off steam.  Hope you didn't read all that!  It is a strange
love hate (mild dislike) type of relationship right now.

I guess you are having problems with the electricity or something (MD
reacts very easily to changing fluctations). I've got one of the early
MDs (nowadays upgraded to UW) and I haven't experienced a crash (maybe
about one in a year, but no data loses). Your problem lies somewhere
else. You could contact Elektron, they could provide some ideas.

One day a few months ago my Monomachine would freeze every so often I 
had to soft reset it every single time.  It would either freeze during 
boot or during playback.  At that point i was ready to send an email to 
Elektron and see if i could get it fixed, but it hasn't had that problem 
ever since... weird eh?

Sounds like your electricity on the fritz...
I recommend to anyone with freezing issues to try it out on a dif circuit breaker or on a power conditioner...
