I think most software emulations whether it be ableton redux chained with a saturator, d16 decimort, maschine, etc All do a really good job at emulating the sound of the mpc 60. Sp1200 is a bit harder to emulate because of the analog filters and outputs. The best way to sound hi fi is to make sure y...

Do note that the pads on the sp-404 are NOT velocity sensitive and you have no waveform display used to chop up samples. How big is your gig space anyways?

Yea but once the octatrack becomes a hit ableton will need to work harder to get people to upgrade to version 9. Akai will need to make a competitive mpc. Roland needs to make a more competitive mv and mc series. Plus vintage samplers will drop 20-25% of current value. It might cost a lot in the beg...

I just got mine today....Pretty fun to just build ideas so quickly. Great sounding digital synth for portable prposes....I will try to record what i do on my emu 1616m and see how the quality fares up. So far I am having fun building basic patterns on the first gen DS. Its my cousins DS and i am bo...

that m brane looks mighty fine....is it a 300 dollar price point?

Moog will release a polyphonic little phatty that runs at four voices. The pricepoint is roughly 2,000 dollars but for a four voice little phatty people will still buy it. i'm thinking twice that for anything polyphonic by Moog... :? I could be wrong though :D nope.... Two oscillators not 3 like th...

sit down with the manual....ensoniq writes manuals clearly to the point where you can make beats right away. I learned my EPS classic in a matter of a few hours just by reading my manual. Have your favorite samples fed in via your computer's audio interface as one shot drum hits or do everything by ...

Roland will release the MV-9000....it will have a synthesis engine similar to the fantom with multitrack capabilities and more ram. It will be heavily influenced by touch screen and contain some generic knobs to run synth parameters....The RZA will endorse it again. Roland will also release the mc-1...
