While evaluating a drum machines with bass sounds (Roland DR-670, Zoom RT-123, etc.), I found my old PMA-5 and am wondering if it's worth using in that capacity.
The user interface and manual for the PMA-5 were so bad, that I all I ever used it for was an expensive GM sound module. At the time I wanted everything stored in MIDI format, using my own styles, etc. Now, working with digital audio, I'm wondering if using the PMA-5's internal styles with everything except drums and bass muted might be a better solution for creating backing tracks than a drum machine.
Anybody out there still using the PMA-5? Anybody in the same boat who still thinks it sucks? All rants and opinions welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!
