Heres a qiuck test i ran on the 2 machines.I sampled a drum break on both machines at the highest possible level without peeking.Ive been debating on selling my mpc cuz I rarely use it, plus I dont really like the workflow on it and I wanted to do this test before I sold it,and this test pretty much confirmed my choice to go ahead and sell it!lol no hate on the mp but the SP chose me so I gotta do what I gotta do!

I put 2 links up incase I did this z share shit wrong.

Yeah, I like the a/d converters on roland products a lot more. I get a fuller sound with my little 303 than a big mpc 60.

the second part sounds much punchier.
so, the MPC went first?



edit: 404 posts motherfuckers
<-----

I still love my mpc, even though I haven't been using it lately.

Congrats on the new 303, it's a lot of fun.

Though, I always wanted one because I thought that the sound was way better then the 404, which isn't really true. It sounds a little different but there is nothing major about it. I don't think that anybody would be able to tell if a track was produced on the 404 or 303 by just listening.

I think I could, but I helped do the 303/404 sound test.
Lord Beatjitzu should put up two different tracks one made on the 303 and one on the 404 then setup a poll and we can all test our ears and have a little fun.

word.

I'm looking for a 303 too, but they are hard to come by...
Cause I don't like ebay



any suggestions where to get one?

Yo I just picked up a 404 the other day. This thing is kicking my fucking ass. Holy crap. I love it. I've been up mad late playing with that thing. I still have a 202, and I will put up a 202/404 sound comparasion within a week or two if anyone is interested.

The 404 is one of the dopest samplers I've ever used. Before I got it I used my 202 all the time for a whole bunch of shit, and now the 404 has the same feel to it, but a shit load more effects and more features. I'm loving it for sure.

i'm interested for sure

glad to hear you got 404'd too. it affected my sleep patterns as well when i first got it

haha, me too man. holy shit. I'm sitting here at work tired as shit because I was up all night playing with that shit. It's so ill. I love my 202, but the 404 is like the 202 on steroids.

I was going to do a sound comparission for my own info at some point, and i will post it up for sure. It'll probably be a week or two, but I'll get it up.

Do me a favor an run a breakbeat through the 202 and load it as a .wav file so I can chop it in to a kit for everyone and I'll post it in the library, I'm sure the 202 adds a nice sound with it's a/d converter.

Yeah that won't be a problem. The 202 has four sampling modes, hi fi, standard, lo fi, and lo fi 2 with different sample rates. I'll run it through all four and the the standard and lo fi settings on the 404. Like I said it'll take me a week or two until I can post it (i'm only online at work), but I'll post it up soon.

Nice, I load the kits after I chop.

Yo, Dr.Sample, I had kind of a weak moment the other day and I bought a Zoom Sampletrak st224 on ebay. I got it for less than $100 though so I'm fucking psyched. I'm going to wait until I get that, then do a 202/404/St224 comparission. It'll be another week or so, but I'm working on it...

I rocked a sampletrak for w few months. Thats a really ill sampler. Great companion for an SP. Its got one of the best timestretches ive heard on hardware and it creates scales ! plus the filter is sick. Sounds nice n dirty to.
