Whatever you do...don't sell it. You'll want it back someday.

I'm at the point where I'm trying to get all the stuff that worked well for me but was sold or stopped working properly BACK IN MY HANDS...just for a change of pace.

Multiple setups inspire creativity IMHO. I've even moved my MPC into a different room with just turntables and records.

No fancy plugins, synths, or anything...it's almost like making chopping records a recreational activity.

Last week I also copped a mint version of the exact same sampler I used for 10 years (Korg) on ebay for only 35 bucks. I remember it costing a least a grand back in the day. Plus, I finally have an Atari ST emulator (STEEM) working perfectly in XP (midi and all!!!).

I now have my old setup complete with none of the hardware issues and of course no learning curve. On the first day I found 40-50 beats I totally forgot about.
