hi

If you would give the manual a quick once over you'll get a better impression

http://www.machinedrum.com/files/Elektron_SPS-1_users_manual_112.pdf

The MD Machines (synth kits) are listed towards the back

Also check out the demos on the main site and the demos from the Elektron superparty

http://www.elektron.se/superparty/

Hope that helps

  I'm interested in getting one, but I have a few concerns. Here goes:

  - Max 32 songs, max 64? kits, max patterns?
  Can these be backed up and saved somehow, and loaded back in? I have an electribes ES-1 which I've already filled up over 2 machines worth of patterns. I can do this because it can load pattern/song data from memory card. 

  - Any shaker/tamb/organic sounds?
  I know this is a digital synth machine, but are there any good shaker or tamborine sounds? I use those quite regularly and it would be a shame to have to use outboard gear for them. Also good non-digital sounding snares are hard to come by. I know it wasn't designed to make these sounds, but maybe the physical modeling or SP12 synth has some?

  -Effects
  what the hell is a 1-band eq, is it parametric? If so why not call it that? I've heard the reverb is poor quality, i hope this isn't true. One of the reasons I don't like my electribes because the reverb effect is the absolute worst i've ever used, and I've used a lot. 

  -Illumination
  In the past the displays appear orange. Now on the elektron the display appears to be red. I have to say I really like the red, much much better. Is this on newer models only, or just the way they show up differently in photographs?

  I think thats all my concerns for now. Unless someone knows where i can get a good deal on a used one!

Why not order it I think theres a 10 day money back guarantee.
