Ok, I am planning on selling my SP-808. The thing is just frustrating me beyond belief. While I love the effects on the thing, the sequencer is just a nightmare. So I am in the market for a new sampler. I sort of wanna keep the price in the $500 or less range. Anyone have any tips?I know a lot of people really like the the Korg ESX-1 for live. Another option I am considering is the Roland SP-404. Now, while the demos look great online I am weary of purchasing another SP coming fresh off of my nightmare experience with the SP-808. It does look to have some great features though and with the small size and ability to have upto a 1Gb smartcard it is very appealing. It even allows me to still be able to do the drone loops. I have never been a hardcore sampler so options of spending a little less for an old SU700, ES-1 or something are certainly open. I suppose I should go for the more sampling memory to grow into though. I know someone will probably ask what will I be using the sampler for. To be honest, I am not really sure. Probably a little bit of everything. My 808 was so frustrating that I manily used to for drone loops and ambient noise and just could not wrap my head around the sequencer on the thing.Tags: Roland SP-808 hardware sampler for sale
