I was. . i decided to sell it though - it was great and all, but i had kind of lost sight of my tiny portable battery powered rig when I bought it. .

back on track with my quest for a tiny setup now though .. the problem is in terms of midi sequencing the only viable option seems to be the MPC500...
the QY77 / QY100 would probably work, but they apparently have hopeless battery life.

The only other option I have is to find a polyphonic hardware synth that has it's own sequencer, and can run off DC Power (so i can build a battery pack for it)...
so far this search has come up with nothing - I want something multitimbral so I can have more than 1 synth patch running from it at a time... failing that I will just buy 3 or 4 DSI evolvers I think hahaha... the idea amuses me but it would cost a load

My friend makes some good music off a Qy100 and like it a lot, the 500 appeals to me in a way because they why you edit is samples is the closest to an sp of all the mpcs and it has a more thorough sequencer, but I've heard they are pretty short on build quality which is a big priority to me considering I would take it everywhere and beat the shit out of the pads on the daily.

yeah thats it. . .

I think I'm just gonna hang out for a while and see what happens in the next few months... the evolver and my 404 will keep me happy for now i think, since they can both sequence themselves... and you can trick the evolver into playing 2 oscillators on one sequence and 2 on anothher, giving you 2 synth parts instead of one.. alhough somewhat limited.

I got monitors! Yay!
I got monitors! Yay!
I got monitors! YAY! YAY!

You get the idea....I'm very happy at the moment

^ that's awesome. . I keep putting them off to buy new synths and such haha. . . wish i had some discipline

how do tracks you'd made prior to getting monitors sound now?

Well, the ones that sounded good to me sound even better now. BUT; more importantly, the ones that I knew were 'NQR' (not quite right) now sound shizen hausen - and I can clearly hear where I went wrong. Love it.

Heck yeah. I am planning on buying either a Moogerfooger low pass filter or a MuRF at some point here... Just have to figure out which one then get my finances in line.

word, that shit sounds ill. No need for those old ass samplers

Just placed the order for an MPC500

lets see what it can do hey!

Be prepared for a lot of down time when it crashes.....

My missus still loves hers though; so crashing is not the end of the world.

im prepared to work around any issues, but if its not stable in a few months ill probably sell.
