Well aware of midi gear. My point was that implicitly comparing those or drum machines to a "real kit" is apples and oranges, because of the interface.

- csmuk 13y agoI'm comparing the value derived over the interface.
- timc3 13y agoHalf of the value is in the interface, with dedicated knobs, the multiple outputs, the way the sequence is not totally perfect, and the workflow that brings about.
- csmuk 13y agoI get where you're coming from but I get that with my workstation. Triton has assignable knobs and pages and pages of virtual knobs which are trivial to change. If you really want you can stick a MIDI knob box in the back of it and associate those to a virtual control including parameters equivalent to the 808's. Triton has multiple outs and multiple internal busses. Think of it as a 120 note polyphonic synth with 16 part timbrality, built in rack of effects, built in sequencer, built in sampler and a full size studio mixer and half a hard disk recorder (TBH I use an external DAT because they're bomb proof). Plus it burns and rips CDs and loads Akai samples off floppies and CDs. It's a whole pile of awesome which fits in a flight case. My rhythm is naff enough that the Triton's sequencer has the resolution to pick it up. If I really want to, which as per you I don't, I can quantize on the device and get it perfect. Then I can assign patterns to keys and play them with my left hand while I hammer out a lead with the right hand.
