Guest Promo Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Just curious. Lets say tomorrow you had 2-3k (sterling not dollars) then what would you buy? Oh and I'm talking about purchases that are serious value for money as oppose to indulgences if you get me. I'm thinking it'd be nice to get say the AKAI MPC5000, some KRK8s, a bass guitar and maybe a new PC. What about you lot?

jeyemusik Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 i'd start with some sensible stuff like an external HD that I can use to free-up space on my laptop, then get a new soundcard with 10ins and outs, then a new midi interface with a decent number of i/o ports. Splash the cash on more midi cables (is it me or are they getting more expensive these days?). then, i'd set about seeing how many things i could get from my mental list of gear that has appealed to me over the years but i've always filed under "buy if i came across a good deal and i'm feeling flush": Kawai K5000s Korg X5 Korg Z1 Quasimidi Polymorph Yamaha DX200 Machinedrum UW Redsound Darkstar Roland XV5050 Somewhere in amongst that I'd probably look to pick up more guitar FX, especially some analogue delays, maybe a reverb of some description (so long as it's shit sounding) and maybe some distortion, maybe a Harmonic Percolator clone...

People have been putting down payments on them for years and only a handful have been produced. The waiting list is well over twice as long for how many synthi's they can make with the original components too, and the price tag is also over the 2-3k mark the OP was talking about.
