Well, again, I'm of the opinion that the more a machine can do, the crapper the tunes. DJ Shadow, MPC60 - Endtroducing; MPC3k - Psyence Fiction; Ableton...what was his last one called? Who cares!!! And one of my fave youtube geezers, Peter Simpkin, just went from killing it with a 60 and S950 to making meh with Ableton recently too. Take even Burial, who has always used a pooter...when he went from using the super-limited SoundForge to whatever he uses now (probs Ableton), he went to shit. And, at the risk of alienating literally everyone on here, and with all due respect coz you know you're my homie...the stuff you were doing with the 404OG was far better, imo.asha c wrote:MIIT: have you had a play with the MK2? I was 404og for like 10 years and workflow seems pretty much the same but with less workarounds, quicker processing and the bonus of sound generator and chopping!
It's a cliche these days of course but limitations focus the mind in all the right ways and janky workflows give time to reflect, coz you have to mean everything you do.
As I say, I think Roland tried to squash something to compete with the MPC1 into an SP form factor. If they didn;t have to worry about the SP lineage for marketing, I reckon they would've done something different with it.
So say brother Nathan.
