Shit man I've been thinking of buying an SP808 for ages, and finally one comes up on eBay at a time when I can't afford it! And it's in my town! Check this out, it seems like a real bargain at that price! It's a fully upgraded EX, but with the old black case - looks much cooler! |
||||||||

what all can you do with an 808ex? versus the original 808? why not just save up all of your money & get an Akai MPC2000XL or 4000? I don't know... just something about the 808 limited with inputs/outputs & it just doesn't seem expandable/upgradeable... i do however, enjoy that picture of the system 100 is it, in your avatar? |

My avatar's a Korg MS20. This particular 808 has the expansion board though with the extra outputs. I WANT IT! My friend has one, and they're bloody excellent for live stuff, and really useful in the studio too. |

do you know what I want?.... hehe... the Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 & a nice fucking sound system to pump the beats out of that shit!!!! |

Yeah man, the Elektron Machinedrum looks fucking brilliant. As does the SidStation - they had a CD on Future Music a few years back with samples on, and it sounded absolutely delicious and unlike anything else I've ever heard before. What gear do other people desperately want to buy? |

i've got the monomachine by elektron and it's pretty "dope." the sequencer isn't as versitle as's but it's synthesis more than makes up for it. i like the monomachine better than the machinedrum because it can do pitched stuff so well, it is the best bassline synthesizer i've ever played with ... you can really make the most of elektron's paradigm with it ... a true electronic music workstation ... for just drums though, there are arguabley better drum machines than the sps-1 just because i can't quit pasting the url, a link to my 20 min ep done mainly with monomachine (some gb + psr510 in there too). the sidstation seems like a big ripoff to me, why bottle a synth chip up .. that you could use to compose whole tunes ... in a single midi module? sad! |

"What gear do other people desperately want to buy?" My list, for things to save up for, for the next year/year and a half, is: 1. Yamaha Motif Rack. (I'm going to be trying to get a job with some commercial music firm, making music for commercials/radio etc, so I need something that has some slick sounds, that I can access easy. When you work at places like that, you can get calls asking for a certain type of track, in 3 hours... so you need something that you dont have to fuss with. 2. An external reverb. Again, the hardware just has something about it, that softreverbs seem to lack. 3. An analogue compressor. They really just sound so much better then digital ones. in that order. |

I'd love to get a Juno again. I used to have a Juno 60, it was bloody fantastic. |

So what analogue gear do people in here own? Does anyone have a Korg MS20? Or one of the huge Roland modular systems? |

manicminer - NO, don't do it, get the mpc1000. it is 10 times better. You will seriously grow out of the 808, the mpc has the breeding to be a great investment. Zeus - I hear the Motif Rack has problems which the keyboard version doesn't have. Bad latency problems, if I recall. I think Yamaha are aware but aren't planning a fix. |

I have an Sp 808ex and an MPC2000xl+ if you want to make your own music get the MPC the sp808 is cool for like live us to remix your material or just to mess around but like dave_g said youll grow out of it i rarely use mine maybe for like some fx and stuff and quick sampling but its really not all that the MPC is alot more open ended the sound quality is wayyy better and its just a bad ass machine all together so if your gunna spend the money at least get the MPC1000 youll be happier im thinking GOOD LUCKKKKKK!!!!! |

I had an MS20 in my apartment for a while, I wasn't to impressed. I was however very impressed that the guy who bought it found it for ... I hope your sitting down ... TWENTY DOLLARS CANADIAN. "I will do you for free" has the MS20 all over it. |

|
|
Shit. 20 dollars for an MS20? I hate hearing those stories about people finding old synths cheap. It just makes me jealous. I don't want the sp808 for writing music, I want to use it as a live tool, which I think it is better for as an "all in one" solution than the MPC. Maybe I'm wrong? |

what other gear I wouldn't mind owning & using... what is it... the Akai Z8 rack sampler... :) I'd like to get a Roland SH-101 just to fuck around on & use for some nice/cheesy melody lines. Has anyone ever used Emagic Logic Audio... I don't know the correct title of the program, but I'd like to use that stuff with my MOTU 828... anyone used logic w/the motu? hmm... The Akai MPC 1000 seems fucking cool... glad to see that sort of technology in a smaller design & not as fucking clumbsy as the 3000 or 4000. But does it do as much? expandability & sound processing & shit? I want to do all of my sequencing of drum patterns from one single machine... then run the outboard sounds/midi out to my individual drum machnies... what machine could i even think about purchasing to accomplish this? all of that would be intertwined with the Z8 popping up samples & feeding from my laptop & shit... good stuff you know? |

i got an MS-20 + sq-10 for +/- 400 euros, but it was before the euro, cool deal, exellent synth :-D one of my best friends has an sp-808, a good deal too, an "used" one, nevern used but exposed so he got it cheap, without the expansion board... and yes i think it's kind of limited, maybe i need to use it with the board but i think if you have the cash you better buy separate things |

Has anyone on here got a Juno? I used to have the Juno 60, it was fantastic. But I sold it, which I now regret. |

No? No-one has a Juno? |
