are those ikea RAST night stands you got stacked there? how are you liking em?



Yes. They are perfect. I dont know any other way to get a rack for about 10 Euro. they are put together in minutes. Perfect measures for 19" gear. Its possible to mount some rack strips like this here http://www.adamhall.com/de/6150/productdetailimages_s1 and fix the 19" gear to it.
But as you can see I like to use the space for floppy disks.

Did you get a computer controler for your mpc? Not a bad idea really, but why not just get a synthesizer? That way you also get the sound engine, plus you can always shut off the local control and just hear the Mp. Just sayin... Also, do you use the JJ os for your 1k? In version 2xl all the samples are assigned chromatically. I use regular version 2, and you can assign everything to a chromatic setting and save it in about a minute. Don't get me wrong, that Mp2kxl is beautiful, but you don't really need it for what your trying to do. That old school 2000 is in damn fine shape also... You know you just got those because they're bad ass wheather you need them or not. You can't front here. I still look on ebay every now and then for Tr-808s and SP 1200s that I may never be able to buy. It's just gear lust. I'm afraid you have the bug.

Well had got the mpk for ableton but the latency bugs me, tried the hard ware to software switch but could not stop using the mouse even when had the apc 40, computer habit i guess, still have ableton on laptop to mess with when not able to use mpc. ( actually the mpk has reg midi in/outs you just have to get ac adapter to use them, then is like adding a keyboard to the 2kxl)

I never did shell out for the jjos instead got the 2000 & 2kxl one thing i figure if alternating between em it keeps the fun level up and will conserve the screens longer too


I know that with software like ableton, I don't really NEED any of my hardware, but for me I want to have FUN in the beatmaking process even if harder or more time consuming and mouse clicking just feels like i'm on the job, not
really fun.
I was looking for an asr 10 to replace the mpk 49 ut so far no dice, iif is gear lust i dunno but i use everything i buy nothing is unused except for reason 3 software at the moment. I was recording vocals mono into the 2kxl just the other day while beat goin on the 1000, just find different ways of doing things i guess, keeps it exciting to me.

have this ordered on back order rom gc to take center tier of 3 tier stand and get everything in the mix

I almost posted that exact same 808 picture for the exact same reason this morning, but couldn't figure out how to upload the picture... Yeah, I use hardware.
