 | I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on Phrase Samplers??? i.e. not traditional samplers, but ones
 that play loops and stuff and can be used in a live setting
 (eg Roland SP808, Yamaha SU700, etc)
 
 I am interested in buying one.  I used to have an SU700 but
 I sold it.  I am interested in playing live again, but also
 want something that I can take with me places to record live
 audio (guitars, mics, etc).
 
 I was therefore thinking of the Roland SP808.  Anyone give
 me any advice/tips?  I would like to spend a max of about
 400 quid.  I've seen em second hand at this price.

 | When you are in newcastle do you fancy doing some live stuff?
 
 I could play some live funny / strange sounds on my computer
 in the back ground, whilst you do some live stuff at the
 front of the stage.
 
 I have made some instruments. Check out my site if you want
 to see them.

 | the SP-303 is pretty nice... and yheah not much disk space but its cheap... you can buy 2 of them ^^
 or you can always buy an smartmedia for more space.
 the other option is an sp-505... it´s also nice... the
 sp-808 is more studio-related imo... not my kind of machine.

 | SP-303 is really nice stuff. Ive got it. Correct it hasnt got much disk space, but you just need to get a memory
 card.
 
 The FX are great. A lovely reverb.

 | how about the new electribe SX from Korg. it's like the new electribe MX from korg but with a sampler option. I've heard
 lots of good things about this one.
 especially for live playing. you should try it. the SX is
 the red one.
