Hi guys,
I really need your help, I'm at the end of my tether!
I'm basically a guitarist/bassist/songwriter who plays a bit of keyboards. I'm looking to buy an all in one unit that I can use to produce drums, synths and basses on to complement my acoustic gigs. So far so simple!
I got an MC-505 for this purpose, but i just find it impenetrable. I'm not a technophobe at all, and yes I have RTFM! I just don't like the non-musical way it's programmed, it's counter-intuitive and I just can't get any flow whatsoever. It just feels clunky and laboured and the sounds are a bit too "hardcore techno" on the whole.
Is there anything out there, not too high-end price wise, that has a good range of useable (realistic?) drum sounds, an easy to use sequencer (with real-time record) and good build quality? The only other thing like this I've tried is when I borrowed a friend's RM1X, which as far as I can remember was a lot more user-friendly.
Please, any suggestions would be great, even if they're just product names that I can research myself!
You guys are great, thanks in advance.
