Re: What new booty have you acquired?

Sounds like you're happy with the Miami. I've heard its pretty spot on. Examples would be great. Do you think the sequencer has/can replicate the same feel as the original? I reckon the sequencer is a big part of the 808's attraction (though not quite as much as the 303).
I'm definately happy. A friend of mine has an X-Base 888 which is also a good machine but it isn't by far as hands on and it does not sound as "warm" as the miami.
Whether the sequencer can replicate the same feel I unfortunately cannot tell. I never had an "original" 808 to play with. But to my ears and feel the Miami grooves really nice.
I'll do an audio demo over the weekend with some patterns. Maybe I'll also recreate some "Drexciya" beats to see if it sounds like the record
Cheers,
