PM me when your ready and let me know what you want for it.

mpc 2000 (sold)
eps classic (still have)
sp 404 OG (sold)
sp303 (still have)
maschine mk2 (still have)
s950 (still have)
mpc 2500 (still have)
emu emax (still have)

favorite sound - emax
quickest workflow - maschine, the 2500 close second.

overall favorite, combining sound and workflow - the eps classic!!!
(if only the emax had the sp1200 sequencer *droooool* )



edit: also, what's up gents. long time lurker, have learned some great stuff from you guys over the years! cheers for the knowledge.

yamaha su10, still have. easiest sampler to do manual chops, ever. sound better than it should at low sample rates. would be killer if it didn't only have global pitch. i made drum and bass with this thing and an atari st in the 90s.

a vestax 12bit dj sampler that sounded amazing but crashed if you changed banks whilst playing, never saw another one. gave it to a friend when i left the country. i still kick myself.

bos rc20xl loopstation. lost interest quickly.

mpc500, still have, my main sequencer. really all its missing is separate outs.

ensoniq mirage, being lovingly restored.(partly working keyboard)
sounds amazing, would be a **** to program for complex stuff but simple and fast for basic loops.

s1000hd. arriving soon. 8 outs! i need a new mixer!

roland s550
akai s3000xl
akai s950
akai mpc2000xl
roland sp404 (sold)

ASR 10 (purple screen) - 1997
MPC 2K classic - 1999

Will keep rocking them until they burn out

MPC 1000 OS2,OS2XL - Oct 2008 - sold in July 2014 (used till Feb14 though)
Elektron Octatrack - Jan 2014 untill now

MPC60II (Sold, don't know why?)
MPC2000XL
S900
S1100
MPC3000 X 2
Kawai R-100
TR909 that once was owned by Roy Davis Jr.
Oberheim OB-12

I've since added a Roland R-8 and its little brother the R-5.
The R-8 really knocks with the right cards.

I'm also trying to source a 3Kle in great shape for the right price. (hint hint)
It's time I finally own one.

if i could get a 2500 and another rack sampler (either a emu or akai) id be gear happy.

now have the sp202
another s900
and an alesis hr-16.
korg Tr rack (had since 2013)

looking to sell the ensoniq EPS as i only really use it for a midi controller and i dont use my synth much at all. its a great sampler, sounds nice, but not what i was after sound wise, plus saving on it is laborious.

The SP-505 is a beast! I used that thing for like 5 or 6 years and got some ill beats out of it.

I midi the 606 to it since its pads don't do velocity, really brings new character out of the 505.
