well i settled on a Korg electribe em-1 that i found on ebay for a killer price. i do truly hope that there is a way to reset it to all the default factory settings so i can start fresh. thanks for the help! I think you can reset it in the global menu, but you'll have to check. However it can defin...

It reminds me of the Micro preset...

The big thing to mention is that MPCs are very different to a lot of other x0x type machines with step sequencers, so that and the above might be something to consider. the newer MPC have step sequencing, well at least the MPC 2500....its call step editing,works the same. Much faster then programmi...

You may be best with a sampling drum machine, like one of the MPCs, since that would provide the most versatility in terms of different sounds. They usually will come with onboard sounds as a starter, but you would need to start finding you own to get the most of it. The analog machines have most ch...

Plus as was mentioned, none of the recent gear has provided anything significant enough to the music world to classify it as a classic. Which probably has something to do with the fact that people are s...

That is one of the nicest looking synths Ive seen in long time

I see things like the microkorg being considered the classics of today.

Its about the size of your computer keyboard if you remove the number pad. As for the buttons, they do have a really satisfying contact when you press them down. kind of like the keys on a keyboard but thicker and more organic. You know, a bit more vintage feeling and warm. It's because they're 3VCO...

ha ha ha, let me be the first to say... Bollocks. Just to elaborate a little. I owned a machinedrum and although I would recommend getting a good case for gigging with it, I wouldn't say the build quality is low by any means. The dials are plastic and positioned a bit dangerously (just like all dial...

The thing that makes it professional is...


The fact that it should cost a lot less than it does, but doesn't because it's professional.
