Xpantastic!

Hi folks,

I've been listening to Futurecop recently. I hear they use Reason, and
they use it very well.

So how does Reason compare with the hardware Xpander?

My opinion is that Reason doesn't sound quite as good, but Futurecop
just put it to better use.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Thanks for the response! It was helpful.

I answer my own question after some Googling:

Q:When you DJ, what\ufffds your preferred set up as far as software and 
hardware is concerned?
A:Traktor, with the Traktor S4, Korg Kaoss Pad 3, and Ableton.

Q:When you\ufffdre writing a track, how exactly do you go about whipping up 
that inimitable Futurecop! electro cotton-candy-80\ufffds-glam-wam-bam sound? 
Software? Outboard gear?
A: our Juno 60 or Korg MS2000, and we have a Lindrum too

Cheers,

Jeremy.
