Hi!

About the MMT8...yes, they did a black newer version... I saw a black 
one when i bought mine, in the same shop, but i got the grey because 
the guy didn´t had the ac adaptor and sold me nearly half the price 
of the black...
Maybe i´ll post a picture when i find one...Take a look at MMT8.com...

almostexactly. the black drum machine had some 808 sounds that were 
ok. I never really liked the sounds but the drum sequencer rocks . 
Well anyways . Prove me wromng was there a black faced version of the 
mmt8 sequencer I say no .

keep. I hook to one of my 22 keyboards or racks and write alot of 
bass lines and lead off of it then jump it all back to computer . 
There is a miniture time shift to play with but not to bad you have 
to mess with internal or external sync.The fact that its fast and 
easy to use make it a music tool.
> Remember less is better when making music one doesent want to stop 
for bullshit like the mc 50 is such a bitch to sync and to write with 
for all the bells and whistles get in the way.....I suppose its what 
you like in the long run.But for simplicity and for getting music 
made thats good fast my bet goes on the alesis mmt8.
