Hi all I am going to shame myself here. I grew up on the Atari 1040ste had many analog synths over the years, sold everything to buy a house and laptop but have pretty much gone completely computer over the last 10 years. Anyway I am looking to go completely hardware again, no computers, so need some advice. After much research I am looking at: A Roland MV8800 to do the sequencing and drum programming, recording, I will hopefully run my Serge Modular ( *wow there is a mention of analog at last !* and my Eurorack system(Plan B, Livewire, Doepfer, CGS Panther) and I am looking at either a Virus TI or the Elektron Monomachine. I did look at the Machinedrum but its not really there for breakbeat/ Jungle style beats I am interested in creating breakbeat and XOX style drum programming. as well as new synth sounds . So really am I making the right decisions? Are there better alternatives? Ross
