AW: Drummachine?

I find the MC505 somehow hard to work with UI-wise. I also don't like
its sounds as a solo drum source, but they fit in well with acoustic
drum samples. Of the two HW drum machines I still own, I preferer the
Quasimidi Sirius. Its sounds are somehow limited to an Elektro spectrum
(but these are excellent), and its editing capabilities are more limited
than those of the Rolan, but it's very intuitive to work with. I used to
own a Yamaha SU700 and it had the coolest HW sequencer ever. So you
might look for other Yamaha products (R something). The Electribes
always looked like toys to me (which may or may not be what you like).

Hey

I find my E-MU XL-7 kind of cumbesome to work with,
although I do love a lot of it's flexibility and
soundset (it takes all the proteus cards).  I find
myself using it more as a soundbank for Digital
Performer than for it's sequencing.

I'm hoping to find something that's more user friendly
and fun to work with.  I like gear that's QUICK to
learn yet deep and good sounding.  What are people
using with success?  On my list are the Korg Electribe
EX (the ROM or the sampler, not sure which one but I'm
leaning toward the sampler) or a used Roland MC-505. 
(I miss my 307!)

I'd love to hear  your thoughts.  My Repeater's MIDI
sync awaits your messages...
