no problem, glad to help
i'd been thinking of letting mine go to make some more space, but it's so much clearer than the one in my microkorg i've decided to hang onto it for now. guess that might be a good comparison for you.

555 first reaction. "man, this thing does look cheesier than the MPC's. least it's a nice metal housing. and the manual's not a headache... wow, pretty annoying having to power it down and back up holding a button to turn off it's protection...then again to switch its midi...wonder what i'll have to...

they work well and can be very clear. even works well with a more cluttered formant like a guitar. it's two rack spaces tall & wide and about 4" deep.

also no patched phrase sample cutting.

707s are selling dirt cheap lately if you wanna pick up one of those.

If I recall correctly, the D Beam on the MC505, JX305, and EG101 preceeded the Kaoss pad by a couple of years. Just sayin' :D oh, really? i hadn't looked into the history of the d beam or anything, was just guessing that. I know that the SP606 had a sample mode where it would send Start/Stop messag...

s**t...i was looking at the UK future music's website. but...the US one doesn't put all of their articles online anyway. The US mag has been defunct for over a year now :? really? crazy. i had a 3 issue trial thing w/ them a long time ago, didn't stick with it just because i hardly ever read magazi...

if it was serious, thanks, but i'm hoping for some direct suggestions. i already have a handful of old disco records. and 80's pop stuff. around the world is the only pseudo-disco track on that album. it was indeed, u can see a live pic i took of them if you search other threads! i think original 7...
