ima say the sp606 was the 1st unit i know of that linked hardware and software in a seamless fashion but then they dropped the ball.

this batton was pciked up by maschine albiet that their incarnation was more of a midi controller.

the beat thang picked up where the 606 left off adding the inbuilt sounds like an emu command station with the sample ability.

suddenly autria spark comes out with a drum machine based on the the above

I still think implying the beat wang has influenced other manufacturers is like saying the Bontempi organ played a pivotal role in the development of the Moog synth.

What inspires other companies to come up with similar competing concepts, is market share. That beatfaggotry has no proven track record of success. It has no market share. No one is copying it.

Think of the conversation;

Product Manager: "So what I recommend is that we invest $14M on a new hybrid software hardware beat-making device that we market to kids with no musical experience"

President: "Who are your competitors?"

Product Manager: "The Beatkangz sir."

President: Silence

Product Manager: "Look, we must compete with the Beatkangz - BeatThang Sir! Or we'll get left behind in the market"

President: Blinks

Product Manager: "We'll market it with grillz and shit sir. It will be swag."

President: "How many units have they sold son?"

Product Manager: "We think three sir. Oh and some guy on a video said he's buying 10 for himself, staff and children"

President: "Young man are you smoking drugs?"

Dre head phones were invented to transform skinny white guys into Xzibit.

I'm confused. I just saw a video with some totally new guy I've never heard of "Dallas Austin" talking as if he created the Beat Thang. What happened?
