Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

If i may add something here.
I went the same route as ciscimanvann. I bought an MD
and worked with it for 3-4 months.  The first one i received
had dust and a few scratches so i exchanged it (Elektron
did a good job on that).
Great UI, better sequencer
than i thought but i didn't fell in love with the sound.
Althought, it does sound precise and punchy it's not
what "I" (read: that's only MY opinion) was looking for.
However, keep in mind i'm not
in to electronic music, more in to rock-blues-punk with
the use of synths and some electro drums.

So i decided to go back to HD sampling.
I purchased the Esx-1 this week and so far it's
exactly waht i was looking for. I think the sound is way
more pro than the Es-1. I like the tubes, the way i can
work with the FX, motion sequence and the possibility of sequencing
both of my synths. The price is right too.
Only thing i don't like: no enough polyphony in stereo.

I used to have an RS700 from yamaha. Great machine,
i highly recommend. I prefer the Esx-1 just because it's
smaller, more user friendly and the price.

I had a machine drum but when it arrived the volume knob was broken .
So i mailed it back to the seller and got my money back. I have since
bought an esx-1 ( flame away ) and just feed it sample for all my drum
needs. I like it. One day I will consider getting a machinedrum again.
I just wish for the price it had a dead ringer 909 emulation.
