Re: Drum machines



Hello,

What's interresting in drum machines are the sounds (of course) but also 
the
outputs!!!  Alesis SR16 (but it's old, you will find it second hand only,
normally) is a GOOD stuff.  4 outputs!!!  I use one, it's easy to learn and
punchy to program via pads (sensitivity of the pads is surely VERY USEFUL
TOO)... or alesis D4

Newer?  Try Yamaha RY20 or  Boss DR770 (or older dr220) or try on softs (ok
you don't have the sensivity of working on a small engine)...

More money, buy roland 707, 808 or 909 (depends of what you need).

Double use? Buy a synth with drum parts (I've got the classic Korg X5D and
I've a TIMPANI inside, wow, helllllllll, devilish...) ... but it's a synth
AND THE FEEL/SENSITIVITY IS VERY IMPORTANT...

For softs, it depends of the computer you use...

Laurent

P.S.: Personally I'm Atari based and sr16 is a good solution (don't need
more).
