It looks like a good ish

It is a little pricey tho

[Ill Green]

Yeah, no volume knob, no sequencer editing, no erase button, at $1,500 usd, thats a deal breaker

[V-F!]

And people said the Op-1 was overpriced! If they woulg have dropped this like 2 o r 3 years ago it would be dope. They really missed the boat though.

[V-F!]

oh yo! The chop actually looks sick!!!!! LIke best chop on a hardware machine. I would cop one for 500 -800 on ebay.

[V-F!]

Lol ok they are really doing themselves a dis-service with their product video though. Dripping with cheese. http://www.beatthang.com/products/beat-thang.html

the beat thang! the biggest laugh in history.
they've been trying to hype this thing for years now.

[sleepy eyes]

i was playing with one of these at best buy the other day haha it was fun while it lasted but definitely not worth the price (if your broke like me)

Well I think that the non destructive chopping it is a cool thing, besides it has some sick feature like 2 SD card slots, the volume knob it is in the back of the sampler, you have a pitch and modulation rotary knobs on the sides, the lighting pads can be dimmed which is cool if you play live, etc... not too much info on the website tho but this is new and give it a couple months and a lot of cats are going to be rocking this thing... the price like I said it it's high but I'm not planning to get one, I was just showing you the video... I'm not planning to replace my 505, and besides the 505 the others samplers that I'm really interested are the MPCs but it is always cool to know a little bit about everything...

[sleepy eyes]

yeah i just watched the videos and the autochop on that thing is really sick, kinda like ReCycle. its cool but id rather buy a mpc to go with my 404

I would actually take this over any mpc any day personally. I had a 2kxl and selling it was the best thing i ever did.

You mean you guys are not feeling that "Blang" button or the "Freak" button? Sps don't got those.

lol I try not to knock anyone's hustle, so good for them to be doing their thing. I'm sure they will sell a lot to high school kids at christmas time. Good looking out pairing it with the Beats By Dre's. That will really appeal to them.

[BARRY LURKIN]

EWWWWW.

[formal]

I think it's good they didn't rush the product out two years ago. It shows they were listening to the feedback of users and improved on the small stuff. The price is high but I'm sure we will see them in the $600-$800 range. The way the machine is setup it looks like software updates/firmware updates will be possible. Also they have the software version which emulates the hardware which is very nice, so testing new features shouldn't be too troublesome. That said it's a nice piece of kit, but it's not on my wish list.

[tape smoke]

i want one because it is a transformer

[ghost ghost ghost]

Wow. they finally released it? I honestly never thought it would happen.

Anyway a while back there was word that these things would be exclusive to Best Buy which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. They're marketing the product to Hip Hop fans and not artists.
