To me, it is all about the user interface. No matter how good the sounds are, the user interface MUST be immediate and not a hindrance.

This is where Elektron has succeded in my opinion, and I do hope that Elektron will continue like that.

The LinnDrum II looks quite interesting, I just have to wait until I can try it out myself.

2 Digital and Analogue (IE version above but with 4 Voice analogue synthesis-and Evolver type bits and pieces) and 27 extra knobs

i've been a Linn fan for the longest...every since i touched a MPC60.

I'm hoping this will have some of the vibe I've always felt in the Linn 9000, but with modern capabilities and solidity. There was a thread here recently about warming up the MD's sound with processing... in this sense the Digital plus Analogue version of the LinnDrum II might be the best of both worlds.

Agreed...spent a fair amount of time w/ an MPC 2000xl and at the time, I detested all the menu diving, and editing samples in that little display. I think I may feel differently now, as I have a lot more electronic music experience, but damn, I really really really did not like using that thing...

The MD is really one of the best interfaces I have used...

I'm going to the NAMM show and I'll drop by the Dave Smith booth to check it out and report back.


Stay tuned!

Be sure to stop by the Analogue Haven booth and say hi to Jon from Elektron.

Yes -- give Jon a big hug from all of us at EU.

EDIT: Also, re: the linndrum -- has anyone heard any audio examples yet? seen the thing in action? or is it still in prototype/mockup stage? Is NAMM the first time we will be "seeing" it? (sorry if this question has been asked and answered, feel free to reply: RTFT).
