i would kill to have a 3000 with that rohan OS




The 3000 isnt all that homie. a percentage of hype.

it IS all that!!! yea there is hype and there is truth. i owned a 1k,2kxl, 4k, and mv8800 and they all have their own "hype" as well. if it's what you desire then don't let haters change your mind-just keeping it real!!!no offense

It's the sh$t. I bet homie is trying to cop one. A lot people who talk that sh$t have never even touched a 3000. Sounds like a beginner when they says stupid sh$t like that.

I had one and sold it with no regrets. sucks for chopping. I rather chop on a asrx than a 60/3k.

NguoiDuc, I'd love to hear about your music making process. Specifically, how the esx, mpc 5000, and s5000 (or is it s6000) are connected.

here are some updated shots of my own rig. Not pictured are my m audio radium 49 controller, my akai cd3000i, my mpd16, my emu midi interface and my records.
Image

The keyboards are the Ensoniq EPS classic, The roland alpha Juno 2, and the roland XP-30.
Image
Those racks are the Korg M3R (its not the new m3 its closely related to the original M1) and the Korg Trinity rack.
Image
my cd turntable. I love this thing it makes things mad easy when it comes to sampling cds into the EPS which is my main sampler of choice. I also have a vinyl turntable which I did not include with these pics. Its just a Str8-60 by stanton nothin too extreme.
Image
And finally my Compaq laptop running Sonar Home Studio 4 and Reason 4. Plus my Behringer BCF2000. I also have a pair of JVC headphones which I like a lot they were only $20 at Fred Meyers. I had a pair of HS280s by Senniesser but they broke a year ago and its embarassing when they fall apart tho they still work just fine. I have them around somewhere but I mostly just use the JVC's I like both pair equally. And the HD280s are $99 so I can always go for saving money lol.
