Hey guys, Anyone know of any equipment off hand that will sequence a song and has enough channels/samples to rely only on itself ? looking for something like an electribe or one of those roland boxes, but for dirt cheap cause it's something to just fuck around with. Is their a notorious casio keyboard or yamaha psr that has built in song capabilities, enough to do a few songs ? I'm looking for something like this to mess around with. |

i have a mc 505... i'd guess they are pretty cheap but that's mainly because noone wants them? imo the interface is very awkward. couldn't be arsed to actually sequence something in it, so far. the ir-control thingie and the megamix function are fun to mess around with though. |

I still haven't sat down and worked out how to use mine properly. I've just got a pile of tapes with bits of gibberish rubbish on them. |

Roland / Boss SP303. I have one and it's fab. I'd replace it if it ever stopped working. It's really cheap and simple, but really good fun and superb. I've got a MPC1000 too, but couldn't get rid of the 303, it's just such a great little box. You can also use it as an effects unit too. Doesn't do midi out though, but it is a one box system. I took it on holiday once with a mic and headphones and made loads of stuff. Look at the video. |

that looks like it would be lots of fun with the right samples. :) |

I once made a song using it with no samples! Well, none recorded anyway. I used the vinyl simulator to make a sort of hissy white noise sound and sampled itself. Then I played around with the tape echo to do those sort of really quick echos like being in a big sewer pipe or something. Then I had a load of these at different pitches and munged some of them up more with the filter to make more percussive sounds and no mic needed at all :) re-sample = killer feature. You can only use 1fx at a time, so re-sample and layer them up and you can turn white noise into a song. Doing chords is a bit of a pain because it is a phrase sampler, but if you use the memory card you 32 pads to play with, so you can get a few different notes and play a few at once to do chords if you fancy a bit of a challenge. The chromatic pitch shifter is a great feature here too. The pads also light up, which is great. I wish my MPC did this so. Here is the sound on sound review from way back when: If you can't get the 303, you could always go for the 404, which I believe is slightly better spec'd but probably about the same price unless you're going for the second hand route. |

it's a tough little unit to get along with, the 'composing' mode is kind of hard to understand and is quite a bitch at times |
