Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello!

First off, let me say how amazed I am with the Monomachine. I had the 
lab page as my homepage since I got the Friends email (read: i am 
obsessed!) and that I can't wait to hear it in action.

Anyway, after various zoom ins, I realized the keyboard is not 
detachable, and that the Monomachine has an internal power supply 
located on the edge of they keyboard itself. This is a good thing for 
the most part, but I travel alot with my MD, I can only imagine how 
difficult it will be to move the Monomachine around on airplanes!

Now, I wanted to see if anyone felt the same about this: Do you think 
we can get Elektron to look at the possibility of making a seperate 
Monomachine module sans the controller?

Either way, I'm buying it!

I'm sure they take in account our opinions here without even telling 
us.  I think they'll read this.  They are looking for these opinions 
during this prerelease time.  I'm sure like many other synths with 
keyboards there will be non keyboard models.  There aren't many 
recent synth models that I know of that don't come in a kb less 
model.  Judging by the many opinions here and my own they would be 
wise to come out with a kb less version.  I also notice a joystick on 
the thing.  There could be problems or limitations.

Does anyone remember me mentioning the voice synthing idea I had for 
a new MD machine?

I think we all need a little keyboard to our right , a joystick in the
middle and knobs, buttons and a screen on the left.  The Monomachine loses a
lot of appeal as a module alone. Like the Nord Modular G2, a lot will be for
performance. The physical layout of this synth will become very personal to
us all.

I vote AGAINST a Monomachine module. :-)

Do you know if the MonoMachine  will be able
to control and sequence  external midi gears ?

  How about we all just *wait* until we can actually try one or hear 
one or see what it's really capable of!!!  Here we are discussing 
modifications to a machine that's not even gonna be in our hands for 
months!  Patience!
