Also. Its funny how people say "it doesnt matter what you use" then say "use abelton" when hardware gets mentioned... just because they couldnt figure out the RM1X or whatever!

dismissing hardware = dismissing a lot of amazing techno music that was made with it, limitations & all.

Hope you dont mean me, i owned 2 RM1x's and an RS7000 we used in our live set.

I liked em both but needed to do things the RM1x and Rs just werent capable of.

I agree. The RS is not great for sequencing full songs the way I want to.. (i'll admit that db).. and tbh you need to have something running along side it like a virus or electribe to bypass that whole "techno in a box" sound. But NOTHING beats it for being instantly creative & fast to work with & I CAN get amazing sounds out of it. Its so horrible for me to program beats and record myself going nuts in abelton. HORRIBLE! To advise someone to try out software first could completly turn a person who is half decent at making music into a nervous wreck and vice versa.

So in future, If someone wants to buy a piece of hardware please let them go full steam ahead.
