alright,

I want something that isn't a computer that I can turn on
and start making tracks with. doesn't have to be
sophisticated, just able to do drums, synthesis, sequencing,
and maybe sampling at a push.

any ideas? I've seen electribe and maschine, what else is
there?

cheers

Strange, I was going to ask the very same question. After
extensive research, this is the best I've come up with - but
I need something other than ding sounds and more stuff like
drums, synthesis, sequencing,
and maybe sampling at a push.

Perhaps the Roland Mc 909? Has everything you mentioned but
I can't recommend it as I haven't used it. The 505 is a ton
of fun, I never lack inspiration when I turn it on but you
can't sample with it unfortunately. I also use it to control
my korg Ms 20 mini.

There's also that teenage engineers op1, which looK's fun
but the synthesis_ engine is apparently a bit thin.

if you're on a budget, then you could get all 4 korg volcas,
beats, bass, keys and sample. maybe get a mackie mixer or
something similar, take a look at some youtube vids

computers are distracting as fuck

sitting with a little device somewhere and experimenting
with some tunes sounds glorious

also the tactile aspect of synthesizers is nice

'sactly man

reckon i might get one of the old electribes and later a
volca sample for samplings

i have a midi keyboard already so not really after something
with a keyboard, more like a groovebox

Look into the Volca sampler to see if it's a good fit,
because while it's just as immediate as the other units to
program and perform with, it is not very immediate for
sampling. You can't just plug a line in to it, you have to
upload samples from a library on an IOS device. It's really
more of a sample based drum machine that you can make your
own sounds for.
