regular minilogue, not xd, the difference is £200 and the minilogue original version has an update for microtuning available.
my volca setup is gonna look like this: korg volca drum korg volca keys korg volca nubass korg monologue korg minilogue
should be a nice setup, will take it down my grandmother's house and have a second studio for a while.

the xd sounds like it has more grit. cool about the microcunting update...
over here the difference is much smaller at the moment...

No, I'm out of work and bricking it that my Cirklon is finally going to be ready and I'm not going to have enough money to pay it and I'll have to go back to waiting close to three years; so I'm having to forego any spending at the moment.

Yeah I know what you mean, it's going to be a lean few months (at least).
BUT I have 'finished' my 208hp rack. It now has 4 voices with a quad sequencer and decent options for mixing cv/gates so I'm happy. the 0-Coast made it a lot easier and it's all in a lovely suitcase with removable lid!

Bought an emu ESI 2000 for 112 pounds. It has formant filters which is what sold me on it. 64 voice polyphony. Ram can be upgraded from 4mb to 128mb

Looks like all bases covered there, good collection of modules. Looking enviously at your Qu-bit Pulsar. I have to use my Rampage to make a burst generator in my rack, which is workable, but not very good and limited to one channel of bursts.
Umbroman, that ESI2000 sounds like a steal. You need to make some bad house music with cheesy piano chords to truly honour that.

Ceri JC i have a yamaha ys 100 that has a wicked fm piano preset. Might use it soon.
Epics esi2000 has fewer features than the e64 but costs less
Cheapest samplers ive seen are emu esi 32, akai s3000xl, and yamaha a3000. But they are unreliable. Look out for an esi 4000 because that has on board fx.
Yamaha qy 300 on sequencing duties for my next album, it’s pretty good, look out for qy 70, qy 100, or qy 700.
Just buy whats cheapest and unfashionable near to you lol.

i was looking at the e64 because one of the chemical brothers was talking about how setting sun's main noise was essentially via flooding an e64 with different sample-start points midi signals and yeah, never really mussed with those old rack jobs, seems worth a look. then of course the s950 timestretch

but, no, if i were to get a rack sampler i'd want a simpler one just to mess with sample start and get odd noises out of it. if i want something modern with more memory, again, mpc

i'd connect this with the discussion of sample start in trackers in thred "miles per pattern." i've puzzled over "how did the chemical brothers get that noise" for many noises for many years, and come up with theories that i now realize are probably wrong. so that comment about the e64, ohhhh, damn, that's it. i hear it now. and that's really what i want to, well, simply try it for myself, because that sounds like a lot of fun. using an mpc to generate rapid-fire midi to torture a sample on an e64, use it like a synth, meanwhile just use the mpc for normal unfucked sampling
but it might make sense to get monitors before any of that

I don't know, I sort of wrote off looking at a lot of the E-Mu samplers, as the prices were high for a long time, because all the drum and bass guy venerated them for years after most people abandoned hardware samplers because of the filters, but now they look much more affordable. Although I don't think either the ESI2000, or the E64 have the Planar filters that the DnB heads loved.

if you click over into the reviews of the rolly rack unit, the ugly i suspected squinting at the pictures comes out: the rack unit can't handle weight, and rack units are heavy, do the math. so, meh, probably not...
i was never the sort of person who liked having rack units by the floor. i don't have banks of compressors; i have synths i want to actively knob. i'd want the floor rack unit for my computer, which is a beast of cold-rolled steel, some power conditioners, but the computer alone would probably break that thing. i could leave it in its existing rack but then what am going to use that stupid floor rack for

well i fired it up after a smoke and immediately i'm finding lots to do, quite like this so far. not sure what i'm going to call this track yet. i was trying to find another i was going to call "what days is it?" and i realized actually have two tracks i quite like i need to finish, quilt twrip and slow tiger. i think i should finish these before i let myself buy stuff
