I, for one, am very exited about upgrading my MD and the possibilities of the UW. My first ever piece of gear was an Ensoniq EPS-16+ and I used to do whole tracks with very little sample time, so I'm sure that adding 20 seconds of sample time to a full blown Machine Drum is plenty. Just thinking about the possibilities of loading vocal samples and running them through that kick ass sequencer (AND RETRIGGERING THEM TO DEATH!!!!!) makes my mouth water. Thank you Elektron!!!!!! Now, if only I didn't have to send away my MD to get it upgraded!!!!
