If only I can find one. Or maybe eps16+rack for cheap.
Right now I have set up px7 with mpc500, kaoss pad 3, esi-2000, and roland sh-32 mixed thru mackie recording with sp-808ex. Rig all fits on the kitchen table.
Usually when I play out ill bring the cs and a buddy. The sh-32 or the esi or the kp3.
Not really a fan of mpc500 sound, I have to turn it up all the way and turn the gain up super high on the mixer.
Sh-32 the arp is kind of glitchy and crashes when you press buttons. But it sounds awesome. And I kinda like that its all right there in front of you. But its hard to save patches because if you touch a knob it will change your patch drastically. But this makes every time you play with it super organic and keeps it fresh. Great lfo and arp.
I really like the esi sound it sounds real fat for drums and I got it for $100 on craigslist. No filters and no effects though. I can't figure out how to send it anything but mod. I can't find an adsr. And it hangs when you load samples. Baw.
Ensoniq sound is famously huge. wu tang is all ensoniq. Right? And I hear that you can load the samples while playing on an ensoniq?

Anyone else discovered this wonderful combo besides Tweedie?
Not too bad at all. You can override that turd ASR-X sequencer very easily with the Command Station
and just use the ASR-X as a desktop sampler/sound module. Great hardware sound in these units
when you just don't want to be around a laptop. Although, both I feel both are necessary as they
both have their strong points.
I have the compact flash mod done on my ASR-X and I highly recommend getting a zip drive if you
can get the scsi card.
