if you want one of the best filters go for the sherman filter bank....

it is not as instantly gratifying as some other filters (meaning if you were to go into a music store and try them out it may not be as fun to play with at first because it has a learning curve) but in the end it sounds unbeleivable once you know how to use it. Put it on a bassline or drums, tweak the settings for a bit and WOW.....pure analog heaven....

yeah...

my friend told me about it but it costs like 680euros. and that's a lot!

ok... i have money but i have to buy also outputs to my "wife" and also a new turntable. i don't know...
i maybe buy also korg kaoss pad2. what you guys think about that?

The sherman is a bit of a classic now, and might be even harder to find than the mfc in finland for a decent price.
The Sherman filterbank 2 retails for about 650 euro's.
The mfc42 can be found for about 350-400 euro, so it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

yeah i know but like i said akai doesn't produce mfc42 anymore. or i don't know. that's the hole **** problem in this case...

and
i want some new pussy for summer

i send mail to musichaus thomann and they told that sherman 2 would... uh...i dont know that word :)... korvaa... sherman 2 would be like mfc.

but that price is messing with me

akai still makes the mfc. You can purchase it for about $300-$350 US. It is now blue like the new MPCs.

yep, thank you. i check those.

im just wondering why musichaus thomann (www.thomann.de) said me that. it's deutche and i guess its a kind of famous musicstore in germany. they have some good connections with finland. thats why i trust them... but but...

i found this:

Give some internetshops a call to see if they stock it.
