Yeah, good time to buy a new OT off the Elektron site. To get some Cirklon perspective, YES it seems to be the new gold standard in hardware sequencers, and if you have that kind of coin to 'try one out,' and dont mind waiting about 6 months, at least if it turns out you dont like it, you may even b...

The Cirklon sure seems like the best there is.
I was on the waiting list for a while and backed out realizing I didnt need that much.

Considering most gear has midi thru, the MPC makes for a good central piece when building up to a bigger rig. If you get to the point w...

Never owned one, but the Yamaha RMX1 is supposed to be great, as a sequencer. Sounds are not so hot. MPC1000 seems to be one of the staples. You can sequence external gear, sample, arrange, jam, whatever. With the JJOS upgrade, even better. Electribes are cool. New ones coming out. There's also the ...
