man that thing is a beats and you can get one cheaper than a 303 right about now. weird cause you can get a 5050 cheaper than a 303 too. but im loving mines, the effects are insane, its like controlling an effects in software with all the attributes you can change. but that zip drive thing is a bitch but workarounds as usual. i had a 555 fora while and couldnt make shit, now im in the middle of a mixtape droppin real soon.

I just traded in my 808. The machine is definitely a beast, but that whining zip noise gets on your nerves. I've owned it since the dawn of civilization, upgraded to the zip250 and EX'd it. Got a whole pack of zip disks so I could have sampled til the end of civilization...

Anyway - love the super quiet 404sx !!! These SD cards are silent and deadly.

The 808 pads were lit when it had a sample loaded...I miss that.
WTF
