yamaha rs7000 looks interesting...
Forget the mp 7,check
the yamaha rs7000!
This rs7000 looks to actually be a real conteneder here, for real.

Also
the yamaha motif lokes dope as well. I like yamaha because theyre so bad at marketing theyre stuff that you can usually find it on ebay for much cheaper 2 years later. On the otherhand rolands
dont depreciate quite so nicely. Now, if this rs7000 lives up to what it seems, then Id say it could have the mpc FADED perhaps.
This is something worth buying Id think, as is the motif. The rs7000 is like a nmp-7 and mpc2000 rolled onto one almost.
emu fucked up on this one. They took the mo phatt turbo module and stuck it in a box with pads and knobs. The thing to bear in mind is that this is neither VA or a sampler. Its your average rompler with pads and knobs.
To compare it to an mpc is a joke. Its more like
a roland mc 505, but in a bigger box.
If emu was smart they would have stuck
an esi 2000 in the box instead of a rompler. If theydve done that then the mpc could have been outclassedprobably.Otherwise the mo phatt is going for like $650 these days.
Anway's who cares about emu when yamaha is making some cool stuff. First they made the a series samplers, now the rs7000!
If I had an mpc already Id just get the module and use the money I saved to rustle up a used
access virus or nord modular.
