Elektron Musical Instruments

i'm not giving up on the sid. i'm trying to use this
as a learning experience. these are electronics and
shit goes wrong. the sid is not like a drum set where
i can just look at it and duhhhh the snare head is
broken that why it don't work. i just have to grow up
and calm down. i'm not giving up on independent manufacturers
either. although my e-tribe is super reliable, i'm no where near
as attached to it as i am the sid. there's a lot to be
said for personality, which the sid has tons of.

when i get it back up and running i'm going to make a song
called "passive aggresive blues" and the b-side will be
"kids with sids"
