What a great way to follow up the previous post, eh?
I'm not sure what took me so long to post about it, but two weeks ago I took delivery of a MnM mkI. It's fantastic. It's just as fun (and creatively challenging) to program as the MachineDrum and the sound is very unique and punchy. I won't say I'm totally wild about the sound yet, but it definitely has some rad qualities. I'd have to say my favorite machine so far is SID (SidStation / C64 emulation) but I have barely dipped into the FM-based machines.
Since I'm still in my "Reason phase"† with it, I can't really talk much to the depth of it's functionality or my connection to it yet.
However, Jyoti Mishra (of whom I have no idea) made a very succinct post that explains my thoughts much more clearly than I could.
Check it out.
† A "Reason phase" is my term for the time period in which you have just recently purchased some piece of gear and the easiest thing for you to make with it is repetitive techno. It's named this because for the first 6 months that I had Reason, all I made was awful, repetitive, techno. :D

Hey, thanks for the link to my Monomachine ramble, hope you're having fun with your new baby! :-D
hey, i *like* repetitive techno! =)
Generally, I usually do too, I think it's my own repetitive techo that I get bored of quickly.
I have a couple more demos with the MM that I need to post. I've gotten better about utilizing the 6 individual sounds more and "spreading them out" in the pattern, where as I was previously just kind of layering them.
