I love my Elektron gear, it really was a big shift in terms of the quality of music and speed at producing for me. I was using Reason for a long time, starting with v2.5 back in 03'-04'. It lasted me a good while but, there were years sometimes I went without ever opening a project file and I was feeling no direction with the amount of options sitting down at the computer. I decided to go all out on Elektron and it has renewed my love of music.
One thing they are great at in particular is capitalizing on a sudden surge of inspiration, I can turn on a machine and hash out my idea quickly. Also, the confines of the machine often help in coming up with new ideas.
