I use it a lot though.

As for drumazon and Nepheton, yeah yeah, 909 emulation and blah blah.
Very limited in use, dated in sound and just not that versatile, personally I wouldn`t bother, you`ll get more mileage out of the others synths metnioned.

The Elektron Machine Drum on the other hand, is Godlike.
It`s more than a drum machine really, great to play, and well, worth having.
Expensive though, and support isn`t the best.

I dont like the Microtonic for some reason, I am with Steve on this one, no tightness in the sound, not comfortable with it at all..

Hmm looks like Drumazon & Nepheton is not really worth my money & time..

Okay, so, if I decide to make a move to get the Elektron, I will not be making a mistake?
I should get my head around it the same way I would get any of the other instruments in the first place, correct?
I don't plan on playing live yet, just producing music at home, this has nothing to do with my decision to get this drum machine, from what I have seen & been told, with work, it will get me the sound I want, especially for my kicks, drums & percussion?
The drum machines are a generator, all sounds are built in, correct?
No sampler? Not that I need or want it to have a sample but curious..

Sorry for the questions guys, Steve, much respect, just very curious on this piece of equipment now, even though its not a solid move yet, as software might be a better start for me, hmm, you guys rock more than anyone, cheers!!
