Re: [elektron] Re: another couple of crazy ideas/requests

2005-11-23 by Paul Love

Your looking for an Akai MPC2500! Why do you own a MD if you dont use  
the sound design engine to make your own signature sounds. That seems  
fucking stupid to me to pay $1600.00 for 64 sample rom slots. Sorry  
for the hostility but you dont seem to get the purpose of this  
Machine. This is not an Idiots box. Only someone who puts in the time  
with the MD is going to get the most out of it! Secondly the UW  
option is like the icing on the cake except you want to throw away  
the cake and lick the frosting. If all you want is sampling you have  
the wrong Machine.
