Hi Robert "Anyway, try the MD, and then an analog machine, like the Jomox Xbase09. You'll understand what I mean then." I agree totally. I own a tr808 and am desparately seeking a Xbase09 after playing with one in Turnkey (London). The xBase is the most organic and powerful drum machine I have ever heard. Up until about 6 months ago I only used either samples or software generated drums and I had worked liked this for many years. I really could not understand the value of drum machines. However, now I could NEVER revert to non-analogue drums. There is something beautifully flowing about analogue drums. Back onto the subject of sequencers, I have recently got a Future Retro 777 and wow - this is another lovely and inspiring sounding machine. I wish the sequencer was a bit more 'knob driven' like the P3 but never mind - it still sounds incredable.. Happy new year all.. Paul London
