not everyone works like you, this kind of argument happens a lot, it's quite myopic.

To quote a guy called Larry wall:

"Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi."

looks like an interesting guy, inventor of Perl. linear scans being a bad idea because associative arrays are linked lists and inherently non-linear?

check the studio pics... some of the guys doing really synth heavy great tracks have studios that are just a small keyboard, some speakers and maybe a control device, then you've got other guys who have tons of hardware, you just never know how others are going to work, it's a big world. the other day some poster was saying they hardly ever use session view, sounds strange but why the hell not? sound quality between hardware and software - dead end thread. build quality - dead end thread. horses for courses.

Nice to get a view on the thing from someone who isn't an obvious trance-hater though these boards are overrun. No real obvious ones in this thread though, TD just hates tiesto hehe

add a fuckload of sidechain compression

Always end up a mix by sidechaining the mix comp to the kick. Just gives that *wtf* effect

Congrats Fool! I got mine for $500 US dollars. Be sure to mess around with the feedback oscillator, it gets real nasty. Also, the freely assignable ribbon controller is cool as well.

Paid a little more than 500$ but again the $ is low at the moment so i'll probably be fine hehe

For what it's worth, my friend uses it for hip-hop.

His myspace is: http://www.myspace.com/jzoneoldmaid

His stuff is a combination of samples and the JP8000, it's hard to hear where the sounds are from he has them mixed together so well.
