I was about to cop an ASQ-10 until the dude was playing around. Real talk, I'm still debating on getting an Atari ST (well, MiST board) and load Trackman (Linn 9000) clone on there and sync it to my S3200XL and XV5080.

That's next level. How much an Atari ST cost?

Atari's are cheap. I saw a 1040 for like $100 on eBay. But the MiST board I'm thinking about getting is $200 with the case and midi. It runs the actual TOS software, you can use almost any monitor, USB keyboard and mouse, and it has a STEroid mode that overclocks the CPU to 48mhz and 14mb RAM. That might not sound like much in 2017 but for a device that's sole purpose is for midi sequencing. :ohlawd:

Plus, look how small that joint is.

fukk is up with companies making shyt all light up like a goddamn simon toy.

Well if you want this on shelves in guitar center the lights and the pads attract younger unfamiliar and familiar patrons who are like "Whats that?" Then they press play and hear what it can do or press a pads and see how quick and easy it is to make a drum pattern then boom they got'em.

It also makes it more interesting for people to watch.

Even dj setups have multiple colors and shyt. And most of the time they are preprogrammed on an adjacent laptop the lights fading and flashing are just for show. A person has to be killing it on some vintage gear to get a bunch of people to stand around and watch him command the room.

Why is Live better than Ren?

Does the X make the Mpc Touch Obsolete?
