| I do and I have one. They're 80's sounds. I like it for some things but I wouldn't necessarily buy it now. Great chimey FM kinds of stuff, good breathy stuff. I started to write a reply to this and here's where I left off... The Kawaii K1 isn't bad at all. I have kept mine. No good drums etc. Nice bell tones, breathy stuff, late 80s kind of tones. In general I would say VI is the way to go for good drums sounds, but I haven't explored all the possibilities. The Steven Slate Drums are used on plenty hit records, for what that's worth. I have 'em and they are very very good for clean, fat, real drum sounds. I also still have the Proteus 3/World module that has some kind of cool 'world' drums and sounds. Used to use it a lot. Has anyone used Maschine for any of this? I'm thinking of getting one for inputting MIDI data. I suspect it might come with a fair stash of drum sounds, but don't know yet and am going to investigate. The Steven Slate drums will work with this. (One reason I didn't send this is I wasn't sure you had asked about drums but in my foggy memory there was some reason I wrote this...) In Pro Tools I use Strike (for drums) quite a bit. Kind of tedious to customize patterns, but good sounds and usable loops to modify. I want Maschine to input drum patterns. Tired of doing it with keyboards. The, I think it's called B33 that comes with Pro Tools, or used to, or maybe I bought it, has wonderful B3 sounds. Structure, that uses sounds from East West, has some good Farfisa type samples. At least I think it's Structure. In general, VI is ultimately the cheapest and lightest path to all of this. I would assume Logic has a lot of this stuff built in, but, again, I am clueless about Logic. I often dream of a great, tasty drummer with V Drums that can be hired (or charmed) to track MIDI data. ----- end of morning reply ----- I write many replies to loopers that never make it to the group because I either assume I'm being an arrogant jerk or that someone else will reply more cogently. I wouldn't buy it unless you want those cool 80s sounds. I keep mine because I'm used to it and might need it to recreate old work and $50 ain't worth the effort. I would figure out some kind of VI deal. Like that box that plays samples who's name I can't remember. Not cheap but looks cool. Only VST, though, I think. I've read about many ways to convert sounds from format to format. Never bothered, myself. I've seen Super Jupiters fairly cheap. And the Roland MKS70 (super JX), which I have, which is fairly fat. With the programmer it's easier to use, I've heard. Hope this helps, R On Nov 29, 2011, at 2:20 PM, Rick Walker wrote:
