cool, I'm just saying there is a reason why some of the best and most influential producers used and still use the 60 or 3000. I just got a 3000 LE and the disk drive is bad so I haven't had the time to mess with it and I'm by far not a professional. I just know what my ears tell me and there is something to be said about limiting your options and using your ears to make music. When I make music with my 60 I don't have the option of loading a 100 drum sounds at one time, so I listen to the music and say hey, what sound do I have that will work here. Try to find that sound and make it fit the way I envisioned it.

I dunno if this is making sense...it's like when I had fruity or my friends who have fruity, they throw all sorts of sounds together, all sorts of effects blah blah blah and don't tweak the shit they have so it sounds garbage. I guess i just love the method of making a beat on a 60 and love the sequencer, sound and layout...no menus, no BS. word is there will be a new OS for it too, (there is already a new 3.16 for the 3K) with sequencing down to 1/4 notes and up to some crazy number plus resampling and some other tidbits....gotta be great to still get new OS's for a machine that old

It has a great sound too, tons of punch, plus the build quality is nice...I'd love to work with a 4K for a month or so though and see what's up. I have friends who love them and those who sold it ASAP...the 2500 is crushing in the looks department though, it's just mean
