Regarding the ESI V S-2000 thang........hold up tho....... the ASR-x now comes with scsi and the dance expansion board AS STANDARD !!..... and it's around for less than a K....... c'mon.... it's gotta be a better option than the ESI fer fucks sake....... plus it'll read .wav files...&. midi-files...ALL YOU NEED is a cheap scsi card...(or with a P2 ASUS board you get a scsi controller built in !!)..... and you get a docking workstation.... with ability to read akai S-1000/1100 cdroms from your pc drive...archive, edit and manage .WAV samples & midifiles to & from the ASR-X........ and you geta 24 mb full synth section. with res' filters, Lfo's envelopes etc etc...... 2 multi-fx processors........ FULL resampling of EVERY setting.....EVEN OF INCOMING AUDIO.... including any midi loops that are playing from the sequencer, complete with ALL controller moves, AND FX realtime moves as well........ I CANNOT see it being beaten... plus..... it can plug into your pc for day to day use... and then un-dock for live gigs..... are you mad to still think of any of the other 2 ??...., where SCSI is option... synthesis & filters is option..... NO resampling... NO synth.. NO playable pads... NO sequencer........ NO FX.... etc etc..... you people must be nutz to ignore it.......read the ASR-X page again.... then remeber the price is LESS than a K now in the Uk..... and the scsi & dance-board are INCLUDED !!!!!!!!!...........

the way i see it..... it's a superior sampler with all the stuff included that the others make you pay extra for....... AND you geta 26mb rom synth, excellent sequencer for live gigs and 2 FX units AND playable pads..... thrown in as well for nowt !!

obviously you don't know shit...superior sampling ?!?! Why do you think there was the huge price drop ? It's shit...I work professionally and the overwhelming consensus is that it's shit. The sequencer sucks. How about 99 tracks with real-time muting w/ pads on the Mpc ? Why are Mpc's holding their value ? I'd love to hear some of the boring tracks you fuckers are releasing when you aren't progging html. As for your boner on the re-sampling thing ... ever hear of a DAT ??

hey bob, are you nervous or something? it's just a sampler.

AND it's not the machine you use that will make good music - this things alone remain in silence - the most important thing is not WHAT but WHO!

keep happy and groovin'

If you are working professionally in a studio, then I really doubt that you are using 99 tracks with the real-time muting. More than likely, you are using a computer for sequencing. The X and the MPC have their own strengths--there should be no arguement about that. So why bother!!

As for the price drop. If you are a company trying to create a nitch in a new market, you are going to be as competitive as possible. Dropping your price to create a better deal than your competitors is par for the course. I'm surprised that your professional persona didn't figure this one out.

Let's see.

MPC-2000 $1300 US
Sony PCM R-300 DAT $ 700 US

Total $2000 US

ASR-X w/resampling $1600 US ---> list price.

ASR-X w/resampling $1600 US ---> list price.

And you get: a FAR superior sequencer and a real-live DAT.

I replaced Logic on the Mac (which I now use solely as a front-end for PT III) w/ the MPC. It's MUCH tighter. BTW I usually use the 3000 as it has 4 midi outs and nested loops within song mode.

houseman: I am a professional artist NOT a used-car salesman. They dropped the price because IT AINT SELLING WELL ! It's such a step down from the ASR-10, which although it had a shitty sequencer, had far better synthesis abilities.

AND if every one has a computer then they know theres no reason to need re-sampling on a sampler.....

um....this may sound irrelevent but ASUS P2 motherboards come in a number of varieties.... check www.ASUS.com.tw kilo......on-board SCSI is an option, not a standard as you stated above Kilo. Sorry.

MPC's have real-time track muting, like an MMT-8?
