Sequential circuits samplers

Should I trade my microkorg for a p2k? I love the idea of a sampling 
synth.

thanks, Andreas

Thanks for the feedback. I love 12 bit sound, so the p2k is tempting. 
I read about it and it said that you can sample and tweak the sounds, 
and it has like 30 seconds of time.I like grimey, gritty "dirty" type 
of sounds, and I love sampling--- In

microkorg way more than the p2k.  The microkorg is part of my 
performance rig along with a Nord Electro and Kawai K4.  I have used 
the p2k for studio work a few times and need to spend more time with 
it to learn more of it's capabilties.  I all depends on what you are 
after, but I don't see them as an even trade.

well actually the 12 bit sampling capabilities of the P2K are pretty 
good and not necessarily all the gritty 

If you have to get one, consider a Prophet 2002 rack unit for around 
$100 +/- that's not a lot of bucks

the other thing to consider is to find a (now discontinued) Alesis 
BitRman which is a stereo bit reduction effects box with which you 
can dial in the trash/grit of your hearts content on any synth you've 
got, I'm sure there are other bit reduction boxes out there too!

as an example I put the BitrMan on an old Yamaha TX81Z (which is so 
cliche 70's) and then crank it and it is way way sick
