mpc-1000 vs sp-505

Man, I'm coming off mad hostile lately, Sorry dog, just trying to get the best picture of this thing, since I don't own one and have only used the 303. I have the EF 303 which I use as a midi step sequencer, but the effects on that are a little digital sounding.

ok now this is really confusing-- back to the SP303. I just got a response from three different SP303 owners earlier today on email and they each said that you can have a kick drum on pad 1 a snare on 2. Each can be tuned / pitched independently from each other. Like on the mpc's. Is this true or BS??? thanks

yo....i am an e-mail buddy with this dj named contakt...he dj's for a producer named J-zone...anyway, he told me that he just got an mpc-1000 and is loving it....just wanted to throw that out there....but back to the sp-505...i think i'll be sticking with my mpc-1000 and just suck it up and ride with it...i'll be getting ableton live soon ....peace

Damn, you know Contact? Thats ill... J-Zone is like one of my favorite indy producers. You should peep some of his sh*t. How'd you hook up with Contact, out of curiosity?

yo, i've got all of J-zones *ish..."pimps dont pay taxes" is my favorite...as for how i got the dj contakt hook-up, i just sent an email to the website that i saw on the inside of the cd jacket back in late 91 asking if they were ever gonna have a show in atlanta...contakt hit me back asking if i knew of any honest promoters....at the time, i was interning at stankonia recording (now i assist sometimes, nothing regular)..and the head of aquemeni records gave me a name to pass off, and one thing led to another and now we send each other a funny email once a week...he's a good dude, on the real...oh, by the way, there ARE NO honest promoters, hahaha

Dope sh*t, man...

Haha DJ Contakt is my mans, me and J-Zone is cool too. That's a wild dude right there... he doing it big this year, so watch out.

i like how zone uses those old accordian samples and makes them funky....talented/talented cat...

He digs strictly dollar crate homie... one man's trash is another man's treasure, he's taking other cat's dollar bin trash straight to the bank!

4. Effects are not MIDI syncable, making any kind of delay of sweeping filter unusable music-wise...

Do you know the formula for figuring out delay times so you don't have to rely on syncing to midi?

60,000 / tempo = delay time

i.e. 60,000 / 130bpms = 461.53 for a whole note delay you can divide that in half and you get 230.76 which is double the beat etc all the way down

try it - it works!!!

but you probably already knew this...

ignore post.

My bad, I'm trying post on another thread and it keeps posting here. Sorry about this.

if anyone's used the yamaha su700...it's like a hardware version of acid. not really like the mpc/asr/sp series...pretty unique...for what it's worth it also came out on top in a head to head of various sampler/sequencers (including the asrx and mpc2000xl) in 'future music' magazine. i think they can be found fairly cheap now...
