Hello all,

I'm wondering which of these two synthesizers will better suit me. I like to compose electronic music and as of now am simply using Ableton Live and FL Studio, using a Yamaha M06 as a midi controller. Recently I had the chance to play around with a friend's Electribe EMX-1 and had a blast with it. I was amazed at how easy it was to pop ideas out; I came up with something like 5 good loops in a couple of hours. The way I currently write music I'm lucky to come up with a good idea every couple of days. So now I'm considering either buying one, or getting to know the M06 better.

What I'd like is something with an interface geared toward improvisation and churning out ideas quickly, which I can then take into a DAW to work with more in-depth. I'm finding that using nothing but a DAW to come up with ideas is cumbersome and time-consuming, and if I do feel inspired at a particular moment it usually wears off by the time I've perfected some chord stab in Toxic Biohazard.

As I said, I'm only using the M06 as a midi controller and have yet to dive into the manual.

Thanks for any advice.
