Yup, that's what I thought too. 

The MD is probably great for simpler tunes with patterns no longer 
than 32 steps, but it does pose some obvious restrictions when 
working on more complex tracks. I guess I'll have to keep my trusty 
old RM then and try to get the money for the MD elsewhere... ;) 
Still, 1350(?) euros is quite a lot of money for a drum machine, no 
matter how good sounding the MD is. Compared to a RS7000 for 1499 
euros at www.thomann.de, the MD does seem ridiculously expensive. 
Premium price for premium tools, I guess.
