Re: [elektron] OT: External Sequencers

2003-12-08 by endlessnessisticman

These are all interesting analog sequencers.  But they are quite
limited and not that easy to use.  Besides who needs analog with midi?

I would recommend any of the MPCs from Akai.  I think the MPCs have
the best hardware sequencers out there.  Take note there is a cheaper
mpc1000 that has barely been out.  I think their orders are full until
next year.  You could find a used mpc2000 or xl.  Definitely better
than the command station.

You get two ins and outs.  A full sequencer with any time signature
you want.  Connected to a MD however, I think you want to make the MD
the master clock.  The mpc will sync up just fine.  They are samplers
too.  The 1000 comes with effects and separate audio outs.  You can
record midi events live.  Edit events.  Kind fo a small screen however.  

I'm really thinking of getting rid of my Virus and getting an mpc1000
with money for other things...

The www.mpc-tutor.com forum can give you some answers.
