Elektron Musical Instruments

Feh. 909s. I can say that because I had one for a
year. I eventually traded it to Elektron for a
Machinedrum, giving it a tearful buh bye and packing
it into a box, because I wanted an MD but couldn't
justify owning two "car priced" drum machines.

My music, especially from a live perspective, totally
improved pretty much the day the MD arrived. Just for
starters, I was using a mixer to emulate the mute
buttons, and that gets pretty expensive pretty quick.
Try turning the pots on a 909 quick enough to do good
mutes. Then try doing it to 10 drums at once.

My crew has a term for this tendency to lust for 303s
and 909s (there's a 303 in my house btw) : antiqueno.
A studio setup with a 909 and a 303 is kind of the
gear equivalent of an AC/DC cover band IMHO. AC/DC
totally rocks, and hella people like them, but stop
trying to be AC/DC cuz they already did it.
