Tomy Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 currently i have a few things floating around thought i'd share cant remember if i have before. MicroKorg This one I've used for a few live bits and piece's with some earlier projects. Sounds pretty good for the price. Good fun tiny synth. Some times a pain to patch in so make sure you get the manual or there is a patching program you can hook up to via midi which makes it easier.Dave Smith Mophothis thing has some balls. At the time i got it, it was only available as the modular. I'm yet to use it on any tracks due to laziness but i've just re-hooked it up so will be patching on it again soon. Comes with a heaps of presets none i really liked to much but you can pull massive bass out of this thing. Yamaha RY30 drum machineFun piece of gear this. Some super 80's sounds and i picked it up super cheap. Easy to get the hang of too. can add more sounds via the wave card.MPC1000sick drum machine.hopefully i'll be adding to the list soon. add your shit with a few thoughts if you have anything.

Tomy Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 My current controller list isNovation Launch padNovation NocturnAkai MPK49 MPU Pro Absolutely love the MPK49 I use it a fair bit for ideas and creative stuff. The nocturn is unreal, for a tiny thing its super powerful in its use & portable, its being phased out in my studio by the purchase of the MCU which i'm really liking. I've fully customised it's functionality in ableton as it didn't have a working preset for that i'm still working out a few bugs but its good. I find for mixdown's not touching the computer increase's my focus and really puts me in a weird kinda zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I find for mixdown's not touching the computer increase's my focus and really puts me in a weird kinda zone.I need something to minimise the amount I have to touch the computer too. Not sure what to get though. Not really urgent as I work away so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 akai mpc2500 a sampler, sequencer. i guess the big brother of tomy's mpc1000.scored this off ebay for $960 about a year back, and it has the upgraded RAM. which was cheap then though i think they have gone down in value with the new rennaissance out.was mint as though, dude said he bought it and never got around to really learning to use it.MPC's have always had a place in hip hop production, but was also used in other genres that relied on sampling.9th wonder (one of my fave hip hop producers) went from fruity loops to pro tools to MPC.i myself bought a 30 tutorial book, but only ever got to the 16th one. want to to pick it up again over summer with the intention of remixing only using the MPC (so sampling into the MPC from sources then cutting up, tempoing, effecting, sequencing, and mastering all on the MPC). but i have a lot of intentions........
