I don't trust roland with anything that has built in sounds and was made after 1990.

i agree on that one! the whole groovebox idea has tainted the 303-909 series.
they just can't live up to "we design the future" anymore

not a big fan, i only watch it when i have time. i just record it to my homies dvr and hopfully i watch it before he deletes it, its not funny sober, you gotta be stoned from your concious before you watch it though.

Roland usually make descent quality stuff. That mc 808 looks awkward though. And I question how easy that thing is to use. I'll stick to my MPC 1000. to each his own though.

Yes, they seem to just keep repackaging everything...I do like the SP series...outside of the 505.

SP-606 = High End Plastic Paper Weight
SP-505 = Plastic Paper Weight
SP-404 = High End Portable Plastic Paper Weight
SP-303 = Economical Plastic Paper Weight
SP-202 = Economical Portable Plastic Paper Weight

MV-8000 = Replacment Ergonomical Foot Rest for The Alchemist




SP-1200 = Monstrous Sound Cruncher

i've never seen an OSupgrade on a Rolandmachine that actually gives new refined fuctions. just minor bugfixes

i'll give it to AKAI for actually try making the machines better with their OS udates (when it finally lands)

most of rolands pads do suck, but the mv 8000's pads are great, i think there a lil bigger and softer than the rest of the mpcs's

By triplegreen Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:23 am
Yes you can diss the sp series, they're pieces of shit. But I **** wit that mv 8000 a few times and damn after the little learning curve i had, i was lovin it. The pads do seem bigger and softer, they are a bit more responsive than my 1000's pads IMHO.

I think the mc-808 is better then the "current" mpc-1000 IMO. No time stretching?!? :roll: come on.
