Analogue-sequencer

I should add that is highly unlikely I would have bought both if I had got
the P3 first :-)
Auxes and accumulators are great once you get your head round them and allow
an almost modular approach to sequences
FTS is cool, I can only use my MAQ with my Nord Modular as it has Note
Quantise modules
I'll second the point about support, I don't think it gets any better
Cheers
Jez

  Hi Richard

  > just as a matter of interest, why did you guys choose the p3 over
  the Doepfer Maq 16/3? Are they different in their functionality?
  >

  I only have a P3, so I can't compare the two in the same manner as
  Jez. But when I decided to buy an Analogue style sequencer I was
  comparing the 16/3 and the P3 by reading manuals and comparing specs.

  I went for the P3 for the following reasons ...

  1) 8 Tracks on P3, 3 on the 16/3.

  2) Force To Scale.
  I can't produce a bum note however much I twiddle those knobs (and in
  my case that's a god send ;-) ). Doesn't exist on the 16/3 (or
  anything alse near this price range).

  3) Aux Events and Accumulators.
  Sounded interesting and powerful. The reality is they are the
  trickiest thing on the P3 to get your head around. But stick at it
  and its really worth it. Powerful ... god yes. There is nothing like
  this on any other sequencer I know of.

  4) Great support from the developer and other users.
  If you trawl through this group you can see that Colin is more than
  happy to answer questions from users and help them out with problems.
  Even better, he is open to feature requests and implements the best
  of them. You also have users like Mr Nagle, (a man who has used more
  than his fair share of sequencers in his time), also providing their
  help and expertise (Just look at Paul's user guide).


  I've had a P3 for 6 months now, and have no regrets. Its such damn
  good fun to use.
  No ... actually I have one regret. And that is that I should have got
  one MUCH MUCH sooner.


  Hope that helps

  Dave
