SP-FORUMS

The Akai MPX16.
I think this could be what I've been looking for, to pair with the SP 505. It has what you would expect from an Akai controller, but with the ability to sample, up to 64voice polyphony and the major selling point for me; MUTE GROUPS!
With how I work, the MPX-16 would make the MPD/MS ...

I could get rid of the MPD26 and MS-1 ...

I've ordered a Numark pt01 scratch, it should be here tomorrow.
Gonna get the tone arm mod, so I can fit a decent cartridge.
It's arrived. Carpal tunnel syndrome is expected by the weekend.

Thanks, man. I'm toying with the idea of copping myself an SP808 or 606.
Maybe get rid of the 505. Anyone up for trades?

No, but I'd like to. I watched a YouTube review of one and couldn't believe my ears. It doesn't seem possible for that little thing, to produce that tone.
GAS, for a ubass

It lacks TR-recording, but I can use my TR-8 in midi for this, although I haven't found in the midi settings how to play a bank other than bank 1 from an external midi device.

MIDI is a bitch, on the 505. I messed around for ages, trying to get my MPD to trigger anything other than pad bank 1 ...

I've been eyeing up one of those cheap Dean fretless acoustic basses, get great reviews and at $170 ish is crazy.

I'd never be without mine. I picked it up for £50, on eBay. Put some tape wound strings on it, and you've got a poor mans upright.

The MPD26 is normally hooked up to the MS1, for SP12 crunch, MPC pads and mute group. Everything goes through the SP505 first, for editing.
I have a Chinese jazz bass copy, a fretless electro/acoustic, a Tanglewood tele-style guitar and my £35 galactic empire acoustic guitar. A Peavey KB300 amp and ...

Like this tape a lot, especially the first couple of beats.

Thanks man, I've missed the place.

Always the drums first, for me.

Live, fretless, acoustic for me (mostly).

That's kinda how I use the SP505 (like it's a multi track). MS-1 is used to chop/play drums.

What up SP forums?
Used to be on here about 4-5 years ago (Strayfield).
Been trying to get a blues rock/Hip Hop kinda thing going (think Black Keys-Boom Bap).
Love the forum's good vibes and no attitudes.
It's good to be back.
