When I got my first Elektron machine (machinedrum) i’d tried so many drum machine/sampler/sequencers and none of them felt right or were just not fun or intuitive but within the first 10 mins of the Machinedrum I was yelping, it was doing everything my imagination wanted it to.
I got a Roland S1 as a bit of an impulse buy, £147. Definitely fun but not sure yet how much use I’ll get out of it. I do like small synths and through the mpc / midi keyboard it can be played like a full size.
Oh yeah I forgot to write a review. Can’t write a proper one now but it’s SO MUCH FUN.
