would i, should i, could i . . . buy
November 29th, 2005
i’ve had this itch for some a HW sampler of some shape or form and have spent way too much time researching all the different nuances between ’said’ sampler and ’said’ sampler. on any given day i have gone from shopping for $100 units to $500 units, all on ebay of course; why not fish around for a deal based on some other person’s impulse buy, where simply owning a piece of equipment will automatically ‘learn’ one how to play and be creative. some sort of osmosis i know. i do have a microkorg sitting on a shelf to remind me.
anywho, here’s what i am looking at in no particular order:
note: i know the MPC 2000XL is a no-brainer, but it really depends on me getting it via a friend of a friend at a really good price, i could never afford one off of ebay.
oh well one day i will pull the proverbial trigger.

Hope you can rock it nonstop with whichever you end up getting.

The Roland and Boss gear you mentioned are phrase samplers, good for sampling large chunks of audio and looping it. I own an sp-808 and while it is a good unit I wouldn’t recommend it for Hip-Hop/Drum and Bass heavy drum programming..for that kind of stuff you’ll want to go MPC all the way and believe me there worth the extra cash.
