More info on the upcoming Monomachine from Elektron, our swedish Monomaniacs:
The Elektron Monomachine SFX-6 is a multiple synthesis and FX synthesiser with unique parameter sequencer control. The Monomachine SFX-6 is scheduled for public release in the third quarter of 2003 and delivers musical synthesis and sequencing in certainly the friendly Elektron way, built upon the traditions of previous Elektron synthesiser models SidStation and Machinedrum. The last one being a joy to use, you can count for a great user experience.
