you can do a ton w/both machines and they both do what they do quite well. the monomachine has longer patterns, flexible routing and triggering options, great for sequencing external gear (rouing internal LFO's to control cc's of external midi gear) and do paramter locks w/cc's on external gear.. it's really fantastic and can sound really surprisingly amazing and definitely amazingly weird and inspiring. great fun to jam with and play live with.

the machindrum is awesome as well. the UW sampling option is totally worth it even though it's only 2MB sampling RAM you can do a hell of a lot w/that 2MB. it sounds great, can also sequence external gear with paramter locks, is capable of more than just drum sounds and can really cut thru a mix. great bass.

the monomachine does great subs as well. quite versatile synth engine and you can do lot's of percussion with it as well.

i wouldn't give up one for the other. but i know someone who sold his machinedrum to get a monomachine and is very happy. i love them both thought and get very different results from each one.

you should download the manuals to both and read all the specs adn features. something might really jump out at you.
