so if i were to invest in something like this...what would you guys suggest? i just want something simple...nothing too fancy. relatively easy to work with, cheap (the main issue at hand), etc. i know that's probably asking for a lot, but...i figured you guys could give me helpful input. and it's easier than having to dig through all kinds of reviews and blah blah blah.
so...any help?

the TR-606 is a fun toy. my brother owned one but it doesn't work anymore, which sucks. still, i got the chance to play with one, which i feel proud of.
i hear some good things about the Ensoniq EPS 16+ too.
actually those are kinda fancy, aren't they.
you may wanna try Vintage Synth.

the first drum machine i ever had was the korg er-1. for me at the time that was amazing. analog sounds. its simple and you can fuck around with a good amount of knobs. never had a sampler though

ive got the korg es-1.. great little sampler. has limitations but you can give it a good workout when you hook it up to midi tools
ensoniq asr-10 is fat as but a nightmare to use

my first and only toy really is an mc303 drum machine and i really enjoy using it , easy to pick up i think i wouldrahter a 909 as the 303 only has 50 user patterns and thats it, if you bulk dump patterns etc back on it wipes them all, 909 has a memeory card tho. it does have some midi dramas but it does its job for me.

yeah that red metal box will be awesome but expext 500 eoros at least. new mpc 1000 maybe even more...but it will more potable with some very good optins (up to 128 mb ram, memory card up to 2gb, internal effects....)

I don't see what's the benefit of having a couple of 12ax7s in those things - to get real tubey warmth you have to have the tubes in the power amp not the preamp, and you have to drive them hard. Like some nice el34s in a Marshall amp for example.

You need to get a zoom drum machine. You get like 250 sounds for £100. The most cost effective way of getting a bunch of drum sounds for next to nothing and not having to rely on software only.

Do you have a midi keyboard with assignable knobs? I'd get that first - lets you control all kinds of madness in the computer especially if you're using fruity which I think you are.
BTW did you ever get Synth1 happening?

if one were to buy a drum machine what would you need to get the rhythms onto your computer?

ummm a wire perhaps?
Possibly a mixer - some synths have pretty low level output that can benefit from a boost from a good quality mixer or direct box.

If i was doing music nowadays, I wouldn't bother with any kit other the computer...virtual has gotta be massively cheaper than getting hardware...

The korg electribe em 1 and the er -1 are fantastic.
If your looking for a sampler I would invest in something more exspensive.
All the cheap samplers I have owned/used really have some issues.
Stupid tiny little flaws that make a world of difference.
The akai s20 is alright, almost worht getting one because you learn so much from it. The little guy is your best friend and your worst enemy : )
For synths Id say save up a few bucks then buy something you want. Beware the preset sound though , they are designed to knock you off your feet (IE the new Micro korg).
I'd say check out a novation bass station, a nord, or pick up a dx synth off ebay.
