Elektron Musical Instruments

Damn, I hate lawyers.

Even if the MD is a not perfectly built instrument,
it has definitely qualities that NO other machine has.
And it\ufffds worth it\ufffds money.

Let me tell you something:
I just bought an Akai MPC 4000 for app. $ 4000 .
You know what? Most basic functions don\ufffdt work because
the OS is not ready by far. But I\ufffdm no beta tester.
I had to put it in the corner because you can\ufffdt work with that crap.

Another story:
I had a EMU E5000 ultra and a 32MB ROM Chip.
The ROM cost $500 and it NEVER worked.
So I had to send in the chip together with my E5000.
I am waiting for 7 (!) months to get my Machine back now,
and the answer is: "EMU is like that, we don\ufffdt know when it will come".


best regards
Splank

Think about this:
the current batch of MD is affected by a heat problem: probably they
have been supplied with a defective component, because i don't think
that they have changed the internal design since the first MD were built.
So Elektron hasn't got any full working MD right now...
Let them receive new working parts and build new MD!
Elektron guys are great, I never had a problem with their support; but
keep in mind that it's really a small company... they even run out of MD
some time ago! Let them solve the problem.
And believe me... my MD (an older one) has NEVER crashed. The OS is
stable and fully working.
Wait a few days more, you won't regret it.
