What new booty have you acquired? (Page 143 of 189)

Cheers guys! I may give him a shout for a few bits and pieces. Is he fast(ish)?

Mm, interesting question. She had got it serviced a few years ago and had apparently been advised on the price by a couple of people recently who told her it was worth around 3,000 GBP. She was asking a little bit less than that as she wanted a quick sale. So it wasn't like it was going for an absolute bargain plus she was making a hundred percent profit from it.

Anyway, she'd done her research and that was the price she was willing to sell it for and was asking. If she wanted to let the market decide she could have put in on ebay or whatever...

Part of the fun of buying this stuff is getting the odd deal. It's the same with any second hand market really. Sometimes you sell something for a good price and vice versa. I imagine you've probably snagged the odd bargain in your time no?

I don't think the guy who phoned her did anything wrong but I just think he was being a bit of a dick.

moog source and some other stuff but WONT say what !! 

nice ... let us know more ... is it a resource hog?
to someone who has never used an mpc but can imagine the advantages ... how does it compare ?

wow!

Yeh maschine is excellent. Soon to take VST plug ins also. Marco, it seems pretty light on resources basically you don't even need to look at the computer just have it connected at the other end of the USB cable and forget it's there if you like. Of course you can always look at it if you need further detailed editting where is acts like a giant display for your groovebox. I think this is the best purchase i have made in a long while.  As far as MPC compares i don't mind the MPC and i did own one for while but with MPC you can only keep bars as same length when looping which was a deal breaker for me. Maschine surpass it in many ways also. I can suggest to go into a store and test it out.

Coincidentally I just got an MPC1000:

I was skeptical to begin with but I am using the 1.6 Beta and its"Preeeetttty good". Intuitive to use, the workflow is quick and you soon forget about the computer.  Still delving into its delights but its a keeper. As far as a resource hog, it depends what your doing really, if you have multi efx on each sound it does suck up the processor, but I am yet to get anywhere near to that.
sounds Tight but i need to do comparisons with my MPC60..

nakamichi 480! now to dig out all those tapes..

POT mod for my Pro 08 module.. Damn it turned out expensive in the end!.. Dont even ask. At least I got them spiffy new knobs.. Lookin sekxy!

Did those customs mofo's charge an insane amount for it?
I had that too with my P5 pot upgrade for my p08 PE, they wanted something like 150 euro on tax and duties (UPS) for 50 plastic knobs. I refused, they came by my house 3 times more, still refused to accept. ( they even freaking lowered the amount each time!!!) then I saw in the tracking they delivered it to someone in Germany, I mailed DSI's Tracey and I got em via lettermail instead of packagemail and all for free ...

It seems that UPS has a taxchart with the various upgradekits from DSI's but dont care to bother to verify the contents/declaration and/or if it is an repair shipment.

finally got some money together for one of those:

much fun so far... gonna AB it with a real 303 some time next week.
only the build-quality could be a bit better for the price.. lot of plastic, potis seem a bit untrustworthy
but there are updates for that i guess, if i keep it
