Elektron Musical Instruments

Thanks for the replies & sound demos guys...

What really has me interested is being able to tweak
the samples you load into the SPS1-UW.
This may be the icing on the cake.

I can do similair with Kontakt & thats why I was
looking at Kore with the latest version of Kontakt,
but I kind of don't want to be too dependant on a
computer for making music.
I use the PC for Recording & that is enough mouse
clicks for me.
I like standalone boxes for beat making.

Another question I have is if it's able to do loop
based production style beats?
i.e. can you program a pattern to just trigger a one
shot loop ?
Can you chop a sample/loop up & spread it across drum
pads?
I think if it can do that, then I will be sold.

Far as my SP-1200, I actually sold my last one not too
long ago.
But, I still have a Sequential Studio 440 which blows
it out of the water completely.
And the MPC3000 which will remain the core of my
production lab.

Thanks & if anyone has a sound demo of a loop sampled
in the SPS1-UW, i'd love to hear it!
Especially if it's been bit-crushed or tweaked a bit.
i.e. sample a drum loop & maybe filter it a bit...
