Elektron Musical Instruments

I wholeheartedly agree. Please Elektron, save us all from messing about with 
QY700s, Rm1Xs and all those other sequencer and sound module combos and give 
us all what we really want: an Elektron-designed sequencer. I would like 
32-track though, and how about a green screen this time for pure aesthetic 
appeal alongside the MD an MnM?
