OH and don't forget the ASR-X. People always forget to mention this thing! Built in FX based on the same chips Ensoniq put into their DP range... amazing sounds! Yeah, the pads might be a little bizarre for those used to the nice bounce of MPC pads... but at easily less than 200 bucks it CAN NOT be beat.

And sampling on this thing is a BREEZE! My buddy has one. It has a handful of settings and once they are set you push ONE button, sample, stop the sample, choose which pad/pads to put it on. REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT. So fast! And it also has a pretty dope bit reduction feature. It sounds nothing like my Emax, MPC-60, Mirage, or the S-900 I used to have... but it is a cool little instant low fi tool to play with!

And I can't stress this ENOUGH. THOSE EFFECTS man. They are so dope for the price! For an effects box ALONE it is worth it!

I don't know why people don't recognize the VALUE of this machine. I don't personally own one, because I have the MPC-60... but if I didn't have one there would be NO question about what I would go for. I am even considering getting one ANY way, less than 200 bucks?!?! Shit, I will get rid of my S-1000 to get one!
