Yamaha RM1X

[Tony Scharf]

I don't see how anyone can say the octatrack is complicated.  Just sample
(or import) and sequence.

The one thing I wish it had was a better way of entering notes from a MIDI
keyboard.  Realtime is ok, but I miss step time entry.   The 'press a
trigger, press a key' is ok for some things but horrible for others.

If Elektron made a mkII version of the keyboard, it would be mine.  Ill
just keep waiting and hoping I guess.
