I don't mind having to setup the samples on the computer then put them on a card, have no need for sampling with a microphone. I don't want to fuck with menus and tiny text. Something to work nice alongside the [[roland_tr-8]], so a similar sequencer built-in would be nice. Leaning towards as [[korg_electribe_es-1|Electribe ES-1]] (ended up getting one~very happy with it). |

+ | |||
+ | Tempted by these things because of their Showa-era J-Poppy sounds. UX seems a bit fiddly, maybe enough for me to not want to use them, but also be fun to mess with on the train or in bed or something. | ||

+ | |||
+ | === MU Series == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Desktop MIDI device kinda meant to be used with computers. Would love a 1000 or 2000 model. Try to get one with upgraded firmware (EX version). Additional features of the 2000 are a sequencer ad ability to play samples, not that useful, but can also load playlists of MIDI files of the Smart Media card. Drums are naff. Can also pass audio into it and use it as an effects unit. | ||

+ | |||
+ | == TX81Z == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rack-mount version of the DX11. Affordable. Will probably get this as my [[fm_synthesis|FM synth]]. You can link two together and make them play alternate notes. Fiddley to program on the screen, but there are software tools. | ||
