Elektron, Jomox and Radikal Tech

also I forgot:
The keyword of course is STEP-SEQUENCING like 808/909

How do you like the virus and MD combo? D all your tracks have the same sonics or can you cover everything with both? How is the sequencing from the MD?

[trance gate]

As far as I know, you cannot record midi to the MD.
You can sequence midi out (not sure about chords) but you have to put note by note, you can't play a melody on the keyboard and record it on the MD.
It's a pity, because that machine would be a killer if it would be possible to record midi sequences 'on the fly'

This is good input. I agree with Andreasfr with the "less eyes and mouse". I am really debating between the MPC 5000 or the Elektron. They are fairly even on the money side.
