selling my evolver
im kinda done with ableton @ leat id like to sequence with hardware again so; akai mpc2000 for 350? good price or is it to high?

remco

its just 2000 and yes euros i mainly wanna use it as sequencer but hey maybe gonna sampel with it to

saw some cheaper but they had things like damaged jogwheel or screen
what are the advantages of the xl on the 2000?

cool!  yeah, i can't remember all the differences between the 2000 and xl anymore, it's been awhile.  nothing drastic i don't think, just little things that add up to making life much easier.

Should I buy a Creamware Prodyssey?

midi is nice but not essential. I haven't heard much about the teisco before. How much do they go for on Ebay?

I have a chance to get an SH-1, I've never heard one in person, how does it compare to the 101 or SH-2? or even my beloved JP-4?
I love the looks of the SH-1, how's the sound?

Very vintage. Not neutral like a 101, more like a SH-09 but way crazier. HP filter is nuts. If the price is right it would have a space in your rig.

if it looks like this one...

yeah

the price is ok, be sure to ask of it has been serviced recently and all works how it should as it stated on the factoryspecs
Depends also on CV/gate mods it has etc...

Dont know which one of the 3 are the most reliable (mk1/mk2/mk3)

50 is pretty cheap, the R8 is a pretty powerfull digidrum compared to al lot of similar machines.. I guess for 50 its worth a try

Cool. Thanks for the input guys. Looks like i'll hopefully be picking this  up later tonight.

I owned the micro modular and was committed to making patches at first but in the end it wasnt very fun. I like to jam while im editing patches so i couldn't get it into my workflow. much more powerful than the nord lead and extremely flexible (can be a filter box, chord synth-sequecner, acid box, best live vocoder etc)

Then i came across a great deal on a nord lead 1 rack and i love it. making sounds is soo easy and its always in tune. the sound is okay and i kind of like it. reminds me of a cross between old sequential and 80s roland  but with some modern "twists" and, of course, some of the "warmth" sucked out.

nord lead 2 is supposed to sound a cleaner because of better DACs, but you get 16 voices, 4 part multitimbral, and 4 inv outs. also they fixed some dumb things fro mthe first one like it has a "hold" button for the arp, drum programs and some other distortion effect. I used one during several psychedelic rock jams when i was in college.

hope that helps.
