polyphony.

kinda excited.

so.

my brother and i are thinking about some equipment to make music with. not a whole lot, becasue we simply cant afford it. just enough to get the ball rolling. besides, i've been told by reliable sources that it's not really what equipment you have, but what you do with it. pete rock pushed pure unadulterated genius out of a few keyboards, some sp1200s, some turntables and a shitload of good records, in his basement. master p has an incredible professional-quality recording studio in his house. professional.

get my point?

yeah.

bout it bout it vs. straighten it out.

so, with all that being said, here's the equipment we are considering.



that's the Korg Triton Le. a trimmed down, less expensive version of the Triton. it's dope in it's own right tho, especially seeing as how we aren't jaded musicians, but a couple of kids with lots of ideas and little experience. oh, and ESPECIALLY after making some okay sounds with this cat.



that's the yamaha psr-225, and it's basic as sheet.

so like, the triton le samples, sequences, basically, it's a all in one workstation/studio. that has some positives, and some negatives. the negatives aren't so paramount right now, because as i said, we are beginners. i'm not gonna list all the good shit about it, if you want to know, click on the pic. it'll take you to a good review.

(*singin* dayb knows htmlll..dayb knows htmllllllll..)

but yeah. since we'll be sampling heavily from wax, i also want this.



the stanton str8-100.

basics-hi torque/33-45-78rpm. S/PDIF digital output. reverse mode. key adjust where i can change the tempo without changing pitch. it's dope folks. and it looks really good.

those are the main components for now. the triton uses smartmedia, and is SCSI capable, so cd burners and harddrives are eventualities. i'm going to be living with this shit soon.

BEATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

peace.
