    Would you like a guitar on it too?

    LOL

    I think the mc-909 dos have DIGITAL 303 samples on it, but it's obviously not the real thing. It might still sound ok though if I use it with my nice and cheap 'freebass fb383' which is still analogue....

    I'm also thinking about getting the 'supreme dance' expansion wav rom from 'roland'... any thoughts on this?

    I use the freebass... not quite an exact 303, but nice enough and got it's own character to it...

    Dude. check out the RS7000 if you can.

    Only way I used to get a good sound out of the 909 was to run it through a Boss distortion pedal. :)

    WOW.....I am impressed

    The mastering effect section look really impressive.

    I had my heart pretty much set on the mc-909 'cus of the gimmicky d-beams and the usb transfer, but I may have to seriously consider getting myself one of these. It's probably gonna depend on ebay more than anything else, ie which one is cheapest and most easily available to UK.

    Thanks for that mate, you've given me a bit more to think about...

    I've got the older version of those. Nice and fun to use, though can get a bit fiddly if you want to create any of your own riffs, 'cos you need to set up a sample and then use the pitch shift on a motion sequence to play it.

    The sound (particularly on this version) is lovely though.

    Also unless they've changed it, you can't set a pattern so that some of the parts are muted when you first move to it, so if you wanted to run a loop and then bring in hats/snare etc blah blah, you need to set up each version on a separate pattern.

    And the memory's quite small.

    I'd find it hard to use this as an all in one, unless your music is quite minimal.

    Problem is, most all in one boxes that are easy to use have less good sounds.

    My solution would be look for an old second hand groove box (I use an RM1x which is a super powerful sequencer if you lean how to use it, but got by with an MC303 for years!) sod the internal sounds and get a cheap synth (a-station/microkorg etc) and a drum modules (second hand drum-station if you can find one, or one of the electribe drum machines). Use the sequencer on the box to play the synths.

    Guess you'll need a mixer, but I reckon you could search out that lot for about £500. Though it's not all in one.

    Software bullies?

    the guy's just trying to save him money and time.

    Ive used an MC909, and seen em used in tandem in a live set... fun pieces of kit.

    the Rs7000 isnt a bad piece of kit but you might be better adding a sampler to it, the onboard one isnt that good.

    i have one... and do use it half as much as i should!! and im tempted to sell it on!

    machinedrum is sually my first option when i go for drums, and theres a bit of midi lag on the esx.
