    I've spent countless dollars on drum samples and drum plug-ins / apps over the years. I think it's time to buy a drum machine.

    Looking at used gear from guitar center, I'm leaning towards an electribe, but not really sure. Also saw a boss dr660. it reminded me of my industrial days in the late 90's not sure the nostalgia would be enough to make me want to keep it.

    Suggestions?

    • to be used stand alone, or interfaced with computer?futurefood
    • personally, i would get MPC live. only because im so familiar with the ui for so longfuturefood
    • otherwise...Elektron gearfuturefood
    • im looking into a new hardware drum machine as wellfuturefood
    • I'm trying to go stand alone to move away from the computer for a whileimbecile
    • Digitakt is good fun, easy to learn, not as deep as the Octatrack which is meant to be a fucker to master. Digi can sequence 8 midi tracks too!microkorg
    • Mate had the Pioneer Toriaz SP-16 and liked it a lot. I think I'd prefer the MPC live over it though. But doesnt the MPC have a lot of bugs?microkorg
    • Electribes and DR's might feel a bit restrictive these days. A lot of lo-fi folk rock the SP-404.microkorg
    • If you've already got an iPad then you can grab a pad controller like Akai MPD and pair it with Beatmaker3 which kicks the ass of a lot of hardware samplers!microkorg
    • (cos the MPC live is pretty much just software and a controller ;))microkorg
    • TR-8S? The electribe's are kinda shit tbh. I've always been underwhelmed with them.section_014
    • I am quiet in love with my new elektron digitakt ..autoflavour
    • that digitakt looks dope. the SP-404SX is pretty cool too. thanks for leading me down a better pathimbecile
