Elektron Musical Instruments

Got my MD today!!
only two days shipping form Sweden, way to go!!

Wow! this thing is pure design-art.  Incredibly beautiful, feels nice and 
heavy for its small size as opposed to our lightweight SIdStations..  The 
display rocks and once you read the manual a bit, and get used to the 
architecture it's very intuitive  Of course it's elektron, so it's going to 
be different than your other machines.  You'll like it!  Bravo for a company 
that finally gives us a decent sized screen so we can see whats going on..  
Not that there is so much info on the screen, but its nice and big so it 
invites you in and you get involved.  Cool icons and operations.

It sounds great!!  Only 16 preset patterns and a few preset kits which is 
nice because it forces you to get right on it and start programming.  My 
first "Learn the machine" pattern is so cool, I can hardly wait until I 
really know all the little features of the machine.. It's definitely got a 
very deep sonic potential!  Plus with audio inputs it becomes virtually 
unlimited.  Output routing is nice, all the LFo's, the FX, its all great!

This is the best built, nicest feeling/looking machine I've ever laid my 
hands on.  So typically "elektron-funky" in terms of OS/design, yet it feels 
and sounds so pro!   Way to go Elektron!!!!   Wait until the OS is moved up a 
notch or two, watch out!!!!!

thanks god for credit cards!  : )        
now I have to figure out what I can get rid of in order to make this up..

Heh!  Not having any available cards, I'm kind of stuck. :P

Anybody interested in getting an extra MD to trade for a Sequential Studio 
440?  I thought I'd check with the list to see if there were any interest 
before I put it up on the general market....
