Ok, I have an Akai s1100 and a Yamaha a3000 (and a Boss DD-6 = Hold Function)
I just don't get the damn Akai so it's in the storage room, I'm trying to find my way through the Yammie, but they're both just so unnecessarily complicated in a way.. Plus the Yammie's got too many FX and stuff that you kinda forget yourself in all of that..
I love the Hold function on my DD-6 and I just want that = sample loops, save them and THAT'S IT!
So what do I do? Buy an MPC again? Or take a crash-course in using either of these samplers and shut up?
ps. I HATE ZIP + SCSI.

Hate to say I could've told you so
.
may be more in the way of sampling that you want.

yeah, it's more like it..Yoozer wrote:Hate to say I could've told you so.

But as soon as I saw that = Monome!
Maybe I should just get a Monome, I edit most of my samples on the computer anyways (except for my "live" samples, mostly my Rhodes + FX -which are most of the time better than my other samples = hardware again?)
Hmmm... =P~

You know a monome doesn't do anything by itself and to get anything neat out of it you pretty much have to build some Max/MSP thingy?

You're right (I plead temporary insanity / GAS), but those Max/MSP programs the Monome community has built are pretty awesome and right up my alley (the whole look of them and how their laid out)Yoozer wrote:You know a monome doesn't do anything by itself and to get anything neat out of it you pretty much have to build some Max/MSP thingy?
There's no way to use those apps with another controller (my MD?)?
