Ok recently I cut off my right arm (sold my MPC 1000). I was (and still want to continue to use) a two sampler setup (2500 and 1000) but the 1000 has far too many features that i dont need now with the release of JJOS2. Basically i had a two sampler setup because I would use the mpc 1000 to set up a midi sequence or record a sample into the mpc and then add run the recorded sample into my effects chain (reverb delay compression etc.) and into my mpc 2500 where i would then edit the sample etc.
So what i need is just a cheap alternative to the mpc 1000. Something where i can sample into then send it to my efx chain and into my mpc 2500. It doesnt have to be feature laden or extensive, LCD would be nice but not require. I do need it to be able to record midi notes so i can send it into my synth etc. So midi out is a must, that way i dont have to use a keyboard controller all the time i can just load the notes into the sampler and hook it up to my nord 2x where i can tweak without have to play the keyboard constantly.
I looked at the akai S20 but not sure if it can do what i want it to do (ie the midi part). Someone recommended me the Yamaha SU200 but that doesnt have midi out.
Anyother suggestions or will the S20 be able to handle it?
price range is under 200 USD. Also thought about an mpc 500 but the price is more than what i want to pay for when im not going to be doing any extensive editing and sequencing on it. Just record into and set up some midi thats pretty much it.
