Yeah, I am aware of that... i like beatboxing and I
wasn't saying you can't make good music with cheap
gear...but I'd rather use some quality gear that makes
life easier than something like the Korg ER-1 which
takes a ton of time to make sound good.  I'm not
talking about programming...the thing is easy to
program...but it just sounds so damn flat that you
have to process the hell out of it in order to make it
sound good.  That is not the case with the Elektron
stuff...or even Reason or Live IMHO.
