i was thinking that the combination of the new Electribe ES-1 and the Yamaha
SU200 give you a very cool sampling setup...the SU200 like a kind of
hardware Acid where you can play up to 6 sample-loops in sync automatically,
and with some nice effects and audio in....
the ES-1 for playing the freaky recycled loops and playing one-shots at
different pitches (cause you have a motionsequencer where you can change
pitch)...together you get a real nice setup for around 900 US Dollar.. if
you also throw in a RM1x you're done! ;-)
