first post: (its a long one)
, I don't know how much you know about midi, but I want to say some things. First of all, you know that you are going to have to hook it up to your computer (with a midi>usb device, or high grade sound card), right? In order to make a track, you gotta hook it up to ur cpu, so you can use a program such as Cakewalk or Cubase to sequence the notes. this means that programming the actual synth is not relied apon as much,, Also.. this is one thing I didn't expect.. The sequencer program is only stable with a powerfull computer. I used to have a pentium 400mhz, 128 RAM. it was practically impossible to compose a track, with recorded loops, and 8 midi channels.. because the cpu would always "dropout" and stop playing it. THis made it impossible to export the song properly.. This forced me to upgrade to a Pentium 1700mhz, 1028mb ram. with this, I can have tons and tons of tracks, and it won't dropout. I have used the Korg ms2000, and I must say it's pretty good. But, I held out on getting it, and saved enough for a Novation Supernova expanded. Also, I have the er-1 ..If you are looking for real sounding drums, don't get this, i recomend a computer program for drums (I use reason), but, If you are looking for a crazy analog sounding, almost electro, drum machine, this thing is perfect. It gives you extreem control over everything. .. but, there are no good snare sounds. .. that's my only complaint. I advise getting one used, off of ebay or something, and save urself some cash.
