Should I buy... (Page 14 of 87)

I love the Drum-X. I have two. Fun to detune them and let the rage of analog flow.

Vermona DRM1?.. It would def be my last piece of gear for a long while .. Except for the new microkorg

in my quest for monitors i have stumbled upon Genelec 8020a's (pair) for $500.  Which i believe may be a great deal (sell for 500 each retail).. i used genelecs in a pro recording studio once when i was in school.. they were quite nice.. they were not the 8020as.. but i just remember very high quality sound. 

What you bots think?

Our groovebox (307) died on us, but we hated it anyway, so it's no big deal. it was handy and easy to carry but it sounded like shit, so we replaced it with a Nord rack 2 and now Procussion. It should do the trick.

Used to.  Now its in a condo... so i cant make too much noise at night.  I agree with the 4" woofer statement.  hmm.. gosh darn it.

Like some other vintage percussion synths it's just triggered by anything through 1/4 jacks. No midi. The 626 should be fine as the Drum-X has adjustable sensitivity. What I mean by dual ins is I have a bunch of cables that send one signal out through two cables with the same signal. Like a splitter. So I can put the one signal into both Drum-Xs at the same time without the need for any fancy routing and detune them and mix the noise sources and have fun and be crazy.

And don't think it only sounds good when the sensitivity is on full you can get lots of great sounds when adjusting it. Jazz brushes and wood blocks and stuff.

But if you want booming 909 like kicks you gotta have the beasts on full and have that sensitivity pinned.

Someone i know is selling a Jupiter 6..
i'm tempted..
pros & cons?

DRM1 = yes! really great sounding machine, a true sound research instrument. Be careful, the power supply plug is a bit fragile

Should I buy a MAM SQ-16? Is it any good? Want to use it for drum programming and simple basslines in combination with Novation Drum and Bass Station...

or to ask it in another way - can i make the same with a korg es (mk I or II)? not only drum programming - but also basslines with oktaves down or up.

Laptop sequencing is what I do so far. But I want to get away from the screen and mouse (ab)use. So I search for an affordable sequenzer for multitracks. Can Electribes also do synth sequences, not only drumsequencing? I mean, I want to use it as sequenzer for other synths and drum modules at the same time.

>automatique

i think the electribes only do monophonic sequencing or something..?

rm1x is good and tight and cheap... if you can live with the strange yamahaian logic and built in crap. some of it can be useful but it made me feel like i was working on a messy desk or something.

personally i prefer the mpc (2000xl). it has a lot of useful functions and is really easy to work with (hey, even hiphoppers can understand it!). it really inspires creativity somehow. but it's no "tr" style sequencer...

If you considder the RM1x and can afford to spend double(!) the money, you should have a look at the RS7000. It's more sophisticated and despite it still uses that Yamaha logic, it is easier to grasp because the interface makes a bit more sense. And the sampler makes up for the most of the time horrible presets. It's 8 years old now and it has it's quirks but I still think it has one of the best sequencers around.
