What I don't hear people talk about so far about the s2400, this thing knocks! I'm talking about, whatever they did internally for how it manipulates audio, this thing beats your speakers up. It sounds thick. I don't think there's anything internally cheap built into this machine. I watched a video of ski beats make a song over that he produced for Jay z on the sp1200, and recreated it on the s2400, the version on the s2400 sounded Superior. That alone says a lot. This thing has its own sound, I bought one and have the intent on buying a second one. One to sell in the future and one to keep.
I got one about 6 months ago. I love it. The sound is almost spot on when using analog inputs 1/2 stereo ( with ss filter chip ) to sample off records at 45rpm +, then resample that audio inside the s2400 at 45 rpm, reduce to 10bit ( feature ) and pitch down sample.
I got one and it's dope. I also have a SP-1200. I think if you're buying it because you want a SP-1200 it will fall short. I think if you're buying it because you want a dope sampler of it's own right with a good amount of 1200 similarities and a slightly familiar workflow you will be ecstatic about the machine and it's unique capabilities. The filters are just ''INSANE'' and it's built like a freakin' tank! Give it a few years... And you're looking at a potential classic. But then again, when it comes to buying gear I have zero discipline... I'm generally a MPC guy and have the whole Roger Linn line plus a 2000. The Ensoniq line EPS 16+, ASR-10, etc... Arturia Matrixbrute and a Moog One. I NEED HELP!!!🥺😭
U forgot the same analog filter chips as the sp1200 only they’re now digitally controlled so you don’t have to reach behind the unit and pull plugs halfway in or just use 2 outputs for each flavor filter plus you can control how much affect the filter has
I still have my SP1200 and I still ordered 2 of the S2400. It's workflow is essentially the same plus more sample time and modern extras. I'm in the ISLA Facebook group and the beats members are sharing sound like 🔥🔥🔥. The styles run the spectrum from Bambatta electro to Premo to Easy Mo Bee to J Dilla and 9th Wonder. Other dudes are making house, jungle, drum & bass and neo soul. The only real limitation I've seen is your own talent / creativity. (or lack of) 🤷🏽♂️
I would get it! I been watching the development of it for a couple years now. They put in work on this piece. Lotta RnD. This thing is definitely NOT a piece garbage! True SP heads was all up in their shit about it. Somebody’s gonna master this unit and make it sing!
"4 banks of 8 sample tracks" is what the specs say. They just added outgoing midi sequencing in an update. Each track has a dedicated filter and it's got a looper that looks easy and fun. They might add effects down the line. It's looking pretty good to me, might be interested when there are more out in the world for sale.
Not only would I get it; I got it. ***Disclaimer: IT IS NOT AN SP-1200 CLONE! It looks very similar to the SP-1200, it has a similar sound to the SP-1200 but it is not meant to be exactly the same as the SP-1200. It has its own sound and character. It has a lot of modern day features, it is very powerful, and it has a lot of sample time. The S2400 is inspired by the SP-1200 but it is its own machine. With that being said, it is a beast! I love the character, the workflow, the features, the tank build quality, the sound, and consistent updates make it better and better with time. I highly recommend.
Wish more samplers had individual outs for each track!!!! The features of this thing make it very appealing to me, considering picking one up over a mpc live but it seems limited in comparison as a standalone unit
Had it at preorder for early 900 price with discount. Had unit #74 Waited almost 2 years and was told it was shipping with no effects built in . I sold an mpc live to get it . Was too late to get a refund as told by brad the owner . First week it arrived I sold it for $1500 It’s a nice unit. Sounds great but in 2021. I don’t need nostalgia. I need a workstation that does it all . For some it’s great. For me it’s a step backwards. A mpc live or mpc one. Do much More. For much less . Or even a used MV 8000 can be found for $400, $500 bucks That does much more . If you have been into hardware gear for years You’ll see the specs don’t warrant the price . But if your coming from an sp12. Or a 1200 It’s a hell of an upgrade I will definitely agree with that .
@@Mikepepp2 Mike I’ve been producing on multitrackers, hardware like Roland VS2400 and Protools software for nearly twenty years. I’m interested getting into sampling and have been looking if the Isla or an MV8000/8800 will be a good starting point. I’m not a live performer, so live performance features aren’t as important as making quality studio tracks. Which one you think will be the best for a beginner?
The best way I heard this machine described is of the MPC 3000 & SP 1200 had a baby. You literally get digital i/o and analog i/o with super high quality sound. If this gets the filter board and effects board it'll be one of the best samplers ever made hands down.
I like daw-less beatmaking when making hip hop,it has something wholesome in the whole process.I am not dawless right now,but the daw and the standalone gear are seperate for the most part.If i'd had to choose one gear alone to work with my daw s2400 is the one. It is so simple and fast to work with it that whenever you are working on something and you want a good 12-bit emulation you take on your desk,within 5 minutes you have your drums ready to go. I don't think any gear that i ever used for sound designing will ever compete in convenience with it (S-50,ASR-X,SU-10 etc.).Also it will never compete in making a complete beat with any previous workstation or daw (MV-8800,MPC Live,RS-7000 etc.) but i'm pretty sure it's still innovative enough to enjoy when you use that machine alone for making a beat.As long as you have a main workstation or a daw this machine is the best complimentary piece of gear you'd ever get.
Music companies can learn from ISLA instruments. The dude is listening to his customers and giving them what they want. He's constantly putting out content and informing his customers about what he's doing.
I pre-ordered one when it was still called the SP2400 and paid $949. It's been in my possession for 3 months and I am barely scratching the surface of it's capabilities. I have no experience with any samplers and I've only dabbled with my boutique TR-08 and TR-09 machines. I'm over 50 and I find DAW software difficult to learn. With that said, I am thoroughly enjoying the limited amount of time a am able to have with this machine after I get home from work.
It seems worth it. With my setup the hardest thing has been tracking it out, mpc one has been my main workhorse for my synths but this seems super tempting. Gotta make that real estate for it though lol
I think i need it. I dont know wtf akai is doing anymore. I dont want a midi controller with a built in ipad. When akai started down the road of building a daw they bought a licence to use an already existing set of audio specific programming tools/code called Juice or JUCE, i forget the exact name. They had next to no experience and when the Ren dropped boy did it show. They were trying to play catch up to Maschine, and releasing a half baked "my first daw" was such a burn on the community. This ISLA piece is exactly what I need in so many ways. Seriously considering it as my mpc60 and mpc1000 need constant maintenance to stay alive these days. ISLA gets it. Only other hope is that Behringer clones the 60 or 3000.

That's not worse. That's just who's going to get the most use out of the gear. You like that 1200 workflow... this.
I bought it back in September before the price went up. But even with the new price it's still a bargain. Honestly if I hadn't bought mine in September I would have just went to eBay and dropped 2k on one of those. Not to mention they are in development for an actual FX card kinda like how the older MPCs had. What I'm not doing it spending 10 oven 4 thousand on an SP-1200. Love your content. Keep it up.👍🏾

Ok so I helped Easy Moe Bee become a tester for these guys shit went left all I can say Moe got the unit and still ain't dropped no beats he made on the 2400 .
@@prufrockrenegade The issue was that they had no interest in making a device that would let you transfer your sequences from the 1200 to the 2400 so the 2400 was pretty much useless to him . Thats also the key reason I didn't bother to get a 2400 spec wise it was the perfect addition to my studio but just load my old SP1200 disk into the 2400 was a deal breaker .
Dang. I hate to hear that. Easy Moe Bee is a Legend and SP- 1200 Master. But at least Ski Beatz seems to like his tho. He has made a few videos with it.
@@rustymixer2886 you can transfer sounds just not sequences so for someone like easy moe bee , Pete rock or lord finesse the 2400 is useless if you wanted to update your old tracks like you could on a akai mpc 3000 that can read mpc 60/60II sound & sequences .
It’s dope I had it for about a year. The tracking over usb isn’t an option yet but should be on the next update! It’s still in it’s early stages but the future of this machine is promising. Only gripe is the polyphony 8 tracks is not enough.
By years end this could be a "Wah Had Happened Was" - supposedly, there's a scarcity of some of the components they need to manufacture the 2400. If you want one - you gotta buy one NOW.
I would get it if I did not have to wait 6 months plus for it, recently got the MPC live II after trying a number of standalones and not jelling with them, this was on the top of my list, but the wait time killed it for me and the MPC is a killer.
Ok ! You got me good giggles on this one maestro. I agree with you on simplicity of sp 12 souped up like creamy lobster bisque but not gumbo on this treasure.
i grew up on hardware (ASR-10) however I've been so entrenched with software over the last 15 years, I can't say that i would, even though it is rather intriguing. I probably would if it wasn't so pricing AND if it wasn't on back order half the time lol. But to be honest, if I were to even get a piece of hardware, it would either be an MPC One or Maschine stand alone. But that's just me.
@@187onasimp Not really, they just started talking about having to raise the price after nonstop complaining about manufacturing issues then bam 60% price increase.The company doesn't seem run very well but they got heart I guess
Yes! I would buy it! & You just said it to many companies be put much power in these machine it's become a turn off That's what happened to mpc 5000,4000, X mv 8800, also the beat thang
That sampling Drum Machine is dope for sure but the old SP 1200 just looks sexier Maybe Im a Dinosaur wait I know am. But at those prices you gotta make sure that bitch is your main one ya feel me unless your an established producer that just has top notch equipment on the shelves collecting dust until its needed .💯great content always
I agree if you already own an SP it doesn't really makes sense to get this. I don't blame people who don't have one for being excited or getting one though. 👍🏼
I would definitely consider getting it but last time I checked it's still back-ordered and you have to pay up front? Still, it's something worth considering down the line unless Behringer puts something out (which is entirely possible).
Great vid! Yeah I saw Skibeatz vids late last yr, he was a beta tester and he was flexin on it!!! I'm pretty sure it has improved alot since release. Definitely on the wish list!! 👍👍👍
This thing looks dope, but I really want to noodle with it in some shop before I buy it. And that will never ever happen in Russia for sure. So I will wait for reviews and other stuff. I hope you will have this thing Sir DyReck!
I would buy 1 if the price dropped. It does not compare to my mpc live 2, but less is sometimes better. But yeah dropping the price between ( $800 - $ 1000 ) would make me get it.
I would but there’s no way I’m paying all that cash to “reserve” one, without knowing when the hell im gonna get it😂. Doesn’t even give you a predicted time frame. Nah. Downside is, they’ll only ever be released like that. In small amounts. They’ll produce them as they are purchased sadly. No mass production. So it’s the only way you’ll get one, because the few 2nd hand ones out there already are like 4-5 times the price. SMH.
Na bruh, my NI kit does 12 bit and more, but currently it doesn’t remember fader or knob movements as you record, but I know NI is about to implement this in an upcoming 3.0 update. But tbt I DO like the updates on the 2400 vs the original sp1200. Also I’m not a boom bap producer either, so I’d imagine in terms of boom BAP genre a lotta producers will be interested in this machine. Jus my .50cts
It would be funny if Dyreck was one of the members of Full Force moonlighting as a You Tuber, doing product review videos. Cause you do kind of sound like one of them. Lol
The EMU SP 1200 CLASSIC, DJ PETE ROCK STAPLE, LARGE PROFESSOR MADE THIS THING DANCE LIKE THE SOUL TRAIN DANCERS, THE AKAI MPC 60, VERSIONS 1 AND 2 BIG UP TO DJ PAUL NICE FOR PROVING THAT WAS A MACHINE MADE FOR BEAT MAKING. THE ENSONIQ ASR 10 THE SAMPLING KEYBOARD OF THE LAST CENTURY AND BEYOND. NOW, As other companies make the next best drum machine, sampler, keyboard.... Us as DJ'S, Producer's, Mixologist and collector's crave for that one machine that is the complete all in one. I personally never owned the EMU SP1200, the closest that I can really say that I have felt the SP1200 flow was on the Yamaha RS7000 and the Roland MC909 in my opinion, I recently added and deleted the Roland MC707 to my collection, not the best but not the worst. My Tri-Polar personality, keeps me on the Akai Mpc one, the Akai Force, and the Maschine Plus. Now as for the 2400 the whole 8 outs, brings back that 8 outs of the MPC. It is all the creative vibe that the machine possesses you into. So many hits were designed on just that whether it was the SP 404 or the Original 808 And a track machine circa 1980 Hip Hop. Just make hits that BUMP AND KEEPS HEADS NODDING 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Yup..Pretty much..Its all about what inspires you to be creative and work. For some it was whatever they could afford or get there hands on and they just did the best they can with it.
I just read about the LinnDrum clone thing. I'm gonna wait for that and their other "Jam" standalone unit they teased last year. And the Pro800 Prophet clone. I considered s2400 last year at the presale promo price but chose MPC Live2 instead. Delivered by Sweetwater in a week. Speaker, battery, touch screen, internal SSD storage, Wifi, BT, 2x USB 3.0, SD card, CV/gate, + big future update coming soon (disk streaming). Akai still going strong. I like AIR Lofi plugin to get 12bit crunch.
Of course I would get it, I'm a gear junkie! Is it worth it? Naaaaaaaa, not for the price. They're appealing to the SP1200 nostalgia crowd, I already have one. I know it does more but the Digitakt or MPC are unbeatable. But yes I want it! Just a thhought.

@@DyReckProductions The S2400 was spotted @ the BET Awards, Just Blaze had one on deck.
@@BillyBatsonMarvel Oh wow ok..Got to check that out.
I ordered the s2400 last year and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Hopefully I will see mine arriving next mouth.
Nice.
Ok so I helped Easy Moe Bee become a tester for these guys shit went left all I can say Moe got the unit and still ain't dropped no beats he made on the 2400 .
That's a shame. That guy's SP skills are legendary
@@prufrockrenegade The issue was that they had no interest in making a device that would let you transfer your sequences from the 1200 to the 2400 so the 2400 was pretty much useless to him . Thats also the key reason I didn't bother to get a 2400 spec wise it was the perfect addition to my studio but just load my old SP1200 disk into the 2400 was a deal breaker .
Dang. I hate to hear that. Easy Moe Bee is a Legend and SP- 1200 Master. But at least Ski Beatz seems to like his tho. He has made a few videos with it.
Why can't you plug a floppy drive usb in it
@@rustymixer2886 you can transfer sounds just not sequences so for someone like easy moe bee , Pete rock or lord finesse the 2400 is useless if you wanted to update your old tracks like you could on a akai mpc 3000 that can read mpc 60/60II sound & sequences .
Given Pete Rock and Ski Beats history w/ the SP1200, I’m definitely curious. This might be the best way for me to get a taste of the experience
I feel u.
I really want one, I've been watching on em.
Lol. No doubt.
Was thinking about getting one, but pulled the trigger and bought a real SP 1200 instead.
Lol. No doubt.
How much?
Good choice.
It’s dope I had it for about a year. The tracking over usb isn’t an option yet but should be on the next update! It’s still in it’s early stages but the future of this machine is promising. Only gripe is the polyphony 8 tracks is not enough.
Oh ok cool..Dang only 8 tracks..At least make it 16 tracks polyphony.
@@DyReckProductions 8 tracks/sounds that can hit at the same time but if your sounds hit at different times you can use 32 sounds with a work around
@@jabbarindabenz Oh ok I feel u.
hopefully mine is on the boat
Lol.
Lets go Native . Love your channel mane
Lmao! Thanks fam.
Waiting for mine. Hopefully this summer! 🙏
Oh ok cool.
If I made sample based music for a living, I'd %100 get one of these.
It's a lovely magic machine. It sounds like a million bucks more than it costs.
No lie I would expect something like this to be closer to 2k..But I got to hear more of how the sound is and how good are those filters.
Uh -oh, got me.. going to add to the cart. The capability with the daw is reason
Lol.
Best Sampler of the decade hands down. It’ll be classic for sure. Great homage to the OG 1200. #0368
No doubt fam.
Ripoff
@@arthurallsopp9344 Lol.
By years end this could be a "Wah Had Happened Was" - supposedly, there's a scarcity of some of the components they need to manufacture the 2400. If you want one - you gotta buy one NOW.
Lol. You might be right.
I would get it if I did not have to wait 6 months plus for it, recently got the MPC live II after trying a number of standalones and not jelling with them, this was on the top of my list, but the wait time killed it for me and the MPC is a killer.
Lol I feel you.
I love how this thing still has that old school analog look
It’s a digital drum sampler 🤦🏾♂️
Its got that feel tho
I know that lol
everythings digital nowadays
@@AveMcree You getting one Ave?
I think I can make one similar and not have so many updates in the OS.
Its a sound interface also
Cool.
Dope video.. as always
Ok ! You got me good giggles on this one maestro. I agree with you on simplicity of sp 12 souped up like creamy lobster bisque but not gumbo on this treasure.
Lol!
Price wise it was a no brainer it was under $1000
DYReck Productions would you MC707, Toraiz Squid, DSI Tempest, Oxi ONE, and Korg Seq 64?
Bonus: Yorick Tech LFE
It would probably be the 707..The Tempest is cool but I need a sampler..And I like the sound manipulation capabilities of the 707.
you gotta do one of these on the novation circuit rhythm
Lol. Got that on the list.
Definitely gotta cop
Yes.. but when is the question
I feel u.
The isla looks nice to me, simple to use and sounds good
I feel u.
Can this thing timestretch to bpm match? If your sample sourcewasn’t record to a metronome? Thanks
Oh wow I got to check that out.
@@DyReckProductions let me know thanks
Needs a bigger screen but I like it
I thought the same thing. If the screen was bigger it would make a huge difference.
Hell yea but I can’t afford it lol…. Hopefully sometime in the future…how do you like it?
It seem cool..I wanna hear more of the effects though..Someone said there gonna charge extra for it..That would suck.
@@DyReckProductions yea that would… I wish they would just make somthing that has it all and never needs updates lol
depends how much it is, it looks pretty dope
I feel u.
i grew up on hardware (ASR-10) however I've been so entrenched with software over the last 15 years, I can't say that i would, even though it is rather intriguing. I probably would if it wasn't so pricing AND if it wasn't on back order half the time lol. But to be honest, if I were to even get a piece of hardware, it would either be an MPC One or Maschine stand alone. But that's just me.
I feel u fam.
I want it. I should of pre-ordered it. Now full price is the only option.
I didn't even know it was on sale.
@@DyReckProductions yeah it was under a thousand when they were on pre-order. Like 949 or something like that. Sort of like crowd funding.
@@GOASTWRITTER Oh ok.
they increased the price of this unit 550+ USD since it was first on the market, thats what put me off tbqh. still considering tho
You shouldve bought it when it was first introduced. I got it for the first price.
Was that an early order discount? If so it would make sense.
@@187onasimp Not really, they just started talking about having to raise the price after nonstop complaining about manufacturing issues then bam 60% price increase.The company doesn't seem run very well but they got heart I guess
@@187onasimp in reality it was, but they didnt advertise it as this
@@dianevrules Facts! I got mine for the same. They told everyone the price would got up and was for the low for over a year.
1500 dollars for what exactly? This isn't for me chief. Not even for half that price.
Yes! I would buy it! & You just said it to many companies be put much power in these machine it's become a turn off That's what happened to mpc 5000,4000, X mv 8800, also the beat thang
Waiting to get back home to play with mine.
Cool.
The new sp 1200 is out from the original maker
Yup!
That sampling Drum Machine is dope for sure but the old SP 1200 just looks sexier Maybe Im a Dinosaur wait I know am. But at those prices you gotta make sure that bitch is your main one ya feel me unless your an established producer that just has top notch equipment on the shelves collecting dust until its needed .💯great content always
I agree if you already own an SP it doesn't really makes sense to get this. I don't blame people who don't have one for being excited or getting one though. 👍🏼
Thanks bro..I feel you..If you about to drop 1,500 on something it better be good.
I would definitely consider getting it but last time I checked it's still back-ordered and you have to pay up front? Still, it's something worth considering down the line unless Behringer puts something out (which is entirely possible).
Yeah I heard now Behringer is getting in the sample game.
YES! I would definitely get it!!
You can resample in all hardware even machine mk2
Yeah but that 12 bit sound..I wanna run some samples through it to see how it changes the texture.
@@DyReckProductions my bad forgot to say change the bit rate and lofi fx then resample tune up then tune down I do this on all machines
@@eddie_arcadia Oh ok Nice.
Yes! I'm buying one. 💯
cool.
This is better then the sp12
Already have it on order.
Nice.
Great vid! Yeah I saw Skibeatz vids late last yr, he was a beta tester and he was flexin on it!!! I'm pretty sure it has improved alot since release. Definitely on the wish list!! 👍👍👍
I want my 707's sliders to have the same functionality
Lol..I feel u.
MY DRUMKIT ..WOULD YOU GET IT ? There, I fixed the title for you.
This thing looks dope, but I really want to noodle with it in some shop before I buy it. And that will never ever happen in Russia for sure. So I will wait for reviews and other stuff. I hope you will have this thing Sir DyReck!
Lmao I hope i'll get it too!
I would buy 1 if the price dropped. It does not compare to my mpc live 2, but less is sometimes better. But yeah dropping the price between ( $800 - $ 1000 ) would make me get it.
I feel you.
I would but there’s no way I’m paying all that cash to “reserve” one, without knowing when the hell im gonna get it😂. Doesn’t even give you a predicted time frame. Nah.
Downside is, they’ll only ever be released like that. In small amounts. They’ll produce them as they are purchased sadly. No mass production. So it’s the only way you’ll get one, because the few 2nd hand ones out there already are like 4-5 times the price. SMH.
Yes the waiting, up in the air, drag along sucks. I’ve been waiting a year for mine, some have been waiting for two.
If Brad and others can, I can. Plus, I am Hearing everyone sound the same.. hmm
I would get it just to take it to the next level
I think it will be far from my budget... but I will request a Vestax Faderboard mode. :V
"thank you mario" 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao!
Na bruh, my NI kit does 12 bit and more, but currently it doesn’t remember fader or knob movements as you record, but I know NI is about to implement this in an upcoming 3.0 update. But tbt I DO like the updates on the 2400 vs the original sp1200. Also I’m not a boom bap producer either, so I’d imagine in terms of boom BAP genre a lotta producers will be interested in this machine. Jus my .50cts
Hold down the auto button while you make knob movements
Yes i will once i have a few extra racks to throw around
Lol..I feel you.
I was watching lisa Vasquez demo it and I thought it looked amazing. Then I saw the price. Changed my mind instantly to no.
It would be funny if Dyreck was one of the members of Full Force moonlighting as a You Tuber, doing product review videos. Cause you do kind of sound like one of them. Lol
The EMU SP 1200 CLASSIC, DJ PETE ROCK STAPLE, LARGE PROFESSOR MADE THIS THING DANCE LIKE THE SOUL TRAIN DANCERS,
THE AKAI MPC 60, VERSIONS 1 AND 2 BIG UP TO DJ PAUL NICE FOR PROVING THAT WAS A MACHINE MADE FOR BEAT MAKING.
THE ENSONIQ ASR 10 THE SAMPLING KEYBOARD OF THE LAST CENTURY AND BEYOND.
NOW, As other companies make the next best drum machine, sampler, keyboard....
Us as DJ'S, Producer's, Mixologist and collector's crave for that one machine that is the complete all in one. I personally never owned the EMU SP1200, the closest that I can really say that I have felt the SP1200 flow was on the Yamaha RS7000 and the Roland MC909 in my opinion, I recently added and deleted the Roland MC707 to my collection, not the best but not the worst.
My Tri-Polar personality, keeps me on the Akai Mpc one, the Akai Force, and the Maschine Plus. Now as for the 2400 the whole 8 outs, brings back that 8 outs of the MPC.
It is all the creative vibe that the machine possesses you into. So many hits were designed on just that whether it was the SP 404 or the Original 808 And a track machine circa 1980 Hip Hop.
Just make hits that BUMP AND KEEPS HEADS NODDING 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Yup..Pretty much..Its all about what inspires you to be creative and work. For some it was whatever they could afford or get there hands on and they just did the best they can with it.
I think I would if I didn't have Mpcs, behringers Linn clone looks to be a stab at isla instruments with 12 bit sampling
Lol. You might be right.
I just read about the LinnDrum clone thing. I'm gonna wait for that and their other "Jam" standalone unit they teased last year. And the Pro800 Prophet clone. I considered s2400 last year at the presale promo price but chose MPC Live2 instead. Delivered by Sweetwater in a week. Speaker, battery, touch screen, internal SSD storage, Wifi, BT, 2x USB 3.0, SD card, CV/gate, + big future update coming soon (disk streaming). Akai still going strong. I like AIR Lofi plugin to get 12bit crunch.
if I had that cash totally!
but for now my MPC 1000 will do just fine!
Lol I feel you.
YES! (I will get it some day)
It looks pretty good so far.
Of course I would get it, I'm a gear junkie! Is it worth it? Naaaaaaaa, not for the price.
They're appealing to the SP1200 nostalgia crowd, I already have one. I know it does more but the Digitakt or MPC are unbeatable.
But yes I want it!
Just a thhought.
I feel you bro.
it loox like its gonna be the chosen one ;D and still they update weekly. dem put a vid dropping it from 1.5 meter and s#it still worx yo!
in one of the vids dem say it wont be a wish list machine. they wanna make perfect sampler.
