I know this is an MPC forum, but can anyone help me with this question?

What are the main differences between the AKAI S900 and S950, and how important are these differences. I'm making grimey hip-hop, which of these do people recommend?

Oops, tried to combine this with my other S950 post and delete this one, but there doesn't seem to be a delete option - sorry for the repetition.

Thanks

I think the differences are that

- the S950 has timestretch and the S900 does not.

- the S950 has filters and the S900 does not.

(not 100% sure on whether the S900 has filters or not, but they are important and you definately want them - so check up on this)

s900 has a basic filter but no resonance. But I find mine still gives a nice sound to samples. Picked my s900 up for 6000 yen, 50 US.
