BOSS DR3

I love this thing!

Has anyone else had experiences using the BOSS DR3?

I would recommend it. I actually sold my MPC ONE and I have 3 DR3's.

I am gifting one, maybe two... So I will have one that has my best work on it

Things I like. Typically un-used sounds. This machine has 100 preset drum loop bass parts.

It's geared to a guitar is for practice, or making your own backing track in leiu of a band.

But ya- there's a bass part, which goes down to like, super sub - bass. The DR 880 from what I remember (have to try it again) doesn't let you make the bass go that low.

There's minimal kits so you can get to know them... maybe pick your favorites. I also used the FX to make some cool shit. You have reverb, EQ, and compression. and they're all adjustable, so I made this super long 20 second reverb .

Anyway. This machine is so cheap. That's what I like about it. It may be hated as a cheesy toy but I like it. Rocks.

I actually sold my MPC ONE. If I get an MPC again I only need the sampler part of it. So maybe a 1k, 2kxl. I really didn't like how the ONE is so over-powered and has a touch screen.

well cool-

but a DR3! They're like 60$

Peace,

JD

What were you able to do with it?

Just that and headphones.

right on. What was good about it? What were the limitations and ways to be creative with it? oh also- did it have MIDI out? This DR3 only lets you sync to other synths. It only has MIDI in.

It can even do nidi transfer of multiple tracks. Someone called it a great companion to the R880 (in the comments below he review).
