Okay, I imagine here is as good as any place to ask. I would like a drum machine that is capable of not only sampled percussive hits, but also playing longer (4-16 bar)samples of pad-like sounds. A minimum of 2 seperate audio outs (and channels can be assigned to either one would be a plus) to give a bit of versatility for fx routing/external mixing. I'm not really fussed about shuffle/swing features, but obviously if it has them, that's not a problem. It's predominantly for playing live, so it needs to be robust(ish). I really like the x0x style rhythm sequencers and particularly like the 707 style ones where you can see individual hits on each channel. The idea is I'd prepare samples on the PC and then transfer them over to it (so a nice easy interface with a PC is a plus point). I'm currently using Ableton Live with ready prepared loops running on a laptop. I am considering re-learning Reaktor (not that I was ever particularly good with it, but it has been ages and I've forgotten a lot of it) and making something to do this. I don't really fancy using software for it as I'm hoping to leave my current place of work fairly soon which will mean giving my laptop back and I'd rather not spend £500 on a replacement laptop. I'm mainly currently considering the ES-1 or machine drum. Anything else I should be considering? TIA. |

the electribe might be a good sollution than, especially the 'tube amp' ones. Only thing though, they stopped producing those, so they became pretty rare for some reason. This means you can hardly find a shop that sells one new, or get one second hand with the same cult price as the Tb303. Other than that you should try and get one or two TR's just to try them out. I would start with the cheapest ones, the 505 606 and 707. And the 626 too. |

Yeah the 707 is my fav. I've only played with a 606 and 707 in the flesh, mind. I'd be loathe to actually gig antique drum machines though. |

Oh and I hadn't realised the tube amp electribes had been discontinued. I always thought they looked quite pricey for what they were considering the cost of a normal electribe. |

yeh the electribe series are discontinued, not so long ago either. The tube ones are huge beasts by the way, a bit the same size as a TR909 |

I would have to say get the MPC1000. Then spend £15 on the JJOS for it. JJOS doubles the features of the box and gives you grid edit, which is as close to xox as the box is likely to get. JJOS http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/%7Empc1000/ I admit if you really want xox above all else then don't get it, otherwise in my highly biased opinion, I say get one, although the price may make you consider a laptop instead! |
