novation drumstation?

[Mike Goodwin]

Has anyone here used one of these things?

If so what did you think of it?

I am just looking for some staple drum sounds and dont want to go hunting for samples all the time. I use 808 and 909 most of the time, yes I am another lemming. Hey what can I say they work.

The only other sound source I am thinking about is the jomox airbase, it is alot more cash but it is a better box from what I can gather from reading on the web.

Just curious what other people thought.

Peace

the Novation Drumstation is just what you're thinking - a pallette of 808 and 909 sounds in a midi box with no sequencer...

I used to use one all the time and really liked it, but I've moved on from using those sounds predominantly.

If you're interested, I still have one here that's not seeing much use. Buying it used may make the decision easier

great box,
really really close to 909/808 sounds but with more features ie tuning on a clap or cowbell (not on the original beat boxes).

it's got a great din output so you can send time code to old kits like a 303 or 202.

make sure you get version 2 (orange not yellow stripe) or a D-station. and make sure that the power supply is the newer version. the old ones were poo.

very versitile box.

Yea, I approve.

hey thanks for the feedback.

It is something I am going to think about for a wile.

So what is wrong with the power supply? Did it just crap out? or did it just not do a very good job?
