I've heard great stuff produced on it... and too i have heard some garbage.

u might also try machine drum if you are specifically looking to glitch.

I love to hate the shitbox.... but the truth is that everytime I pull it out of my rommie's closet just for shits and giggles, I realize it's a very capable sound machine... it can sound cool (it's got six outputs, which is great).... It's fun to use as a step-sequencer too. Oh it really rocks as a controller as well.

I'm going to offer the roomie a few coins for it...

And yeah, this machine is heard on COUNTLESS records... both brilliant and shitty.

Ok so i got the Mc-505 and so far im enjoying the crap out of it

im even thinking on selling my esx-1 since the MC-505 gives me more ableton compatibility and a bunch of coll synth noises I really love this I would dare to recommend it to anyone out there not looking to be a big spender and drop 1500 buck on a elektron machine drum

wouldn't you be better off with both the esx and the mc 505? I couldn't live without my emx

You are right but i kind of want to aim towards the mc 909 it seems pretty sweet too
