Looks fun for impulsive musicmaking, but there doesn't seem
to be any built in editing, which can be painfull.

SP404

Nevermind, there is editing, but how is that suposed to be
done without anything other than a headache with a 3
character led screen /:(

Awesome :D

I am anxiously awaiting the extra ram and zip drive I
ordered on ebay.

400-500e? thats almost $1000!!! Pretty expesnsive, altho the
1 gig smarcard support kinda makes it worthwhile. Three
character interface is kind of crappy.

Steer clear of this thing.

3 LED display is a pain! Ive got a sp303 and the sample
start/end editing is done by ear and its tricky. on my akai
you can get a waveform display and its SOOOO much better.
the 3 seven segment LED display thing is useless. a small
LCD would make this thing so much better.

I can guarantee you will dislike the sequencer.
It looks like the sp303 with more sample banks and a
couple(ie 3) extra effects.
this thing could be quite good if it had an LCD, but I
wouldn't get it with the crap display. oh and i doubt its
true 'CD quality' as roland states, there is compression and
its actually pretty good (assuming the engine is the same as
the sp303, which I think it must be).
get a mpc1000 instead and use MD for live recording and
sample it when you get home.

500e is 600$
if the looper option is same or similar to kaoss pads, then
it rocks

I don't have it but I tried it in the store once.. it's
actually really good.. got lots of special things from the
larger zoom models.. like the bass-simulation and stuff like
that (connect a regular electrical guitar, apply
bass-simulation, and it sounds like you're playing bass).. I
can imagine there's lots of fun to be had with applying
these effects to things they're not meant for...

if you think thats fun, find yourself a digitech whammy
pedal to play around with. its real time pitch shifting and
harmonizing via an expression pedal and lets you bend from 2
octaves up to 6 down. the best is just hitting every open
string while shifting up 2 octaves; the sound is just
wretched :)
