I really want one (or the other) because they seem like fun samplers, plus the limitations make beatmaking really challenging. I just have a few questions:
*Which is better? (sound quality wise and memory wise. I hear the SP 404 doesn't sound as nice)
*How much should i pay for an SP 303 used? Is the secondhand value high? Might bid on one on E-bay but it looks like there's going to be a bidding war I see quite a few used SP 404s on the market though.
*Is the SP 404 the same machine? Is it possible to get the same gritty sound from that as you can the SP 303?
*Is the build quality good? (don't want a piece of crap thats gonna break down in one week *cough* MPC 2500 *cough*
Update: Just seen 505 for £145. Thinking about that too. Is that a good deal?
(Before you ask: no it's not because J-Dilla or Madlib uses one)
