Does anyone here use any of these drum sequencing samplers? I've got (but don't now use very much) a hardware MPC 4000 so that's my reference for what a decent sequencing sampler should do.
I don't know what it is with Maschine (I bought a Mk1) but I just don't get on with it, if Maschine was as good as Battery it could be different (I know you can kind of use Battery as a plugin but I don't like the workaround in order to do that).
Logic X has made some decent improvements to drum sequencing in the piano roll but it's still not like having an MPC. Ultrabeat is interesting but has the weirdest least intuitive interface known to mankind!
MOTU BPM could have been great but it seems to have been left to die. Maybe UVI will resurrect it.
Geist was the king imo, best sequencer , sample manipulation and almost MPC style workflow. Disappointing it seems to have been left out in the cold somewhat, it seems badly in need of some love from FX. I know Drew-fx is on here so maybe he could update re. Geist 2?!
Anyone use an Akai Ren? I keep reading the pdf manual whenever they update it but still seems someway off what a 4000 could do?
Suggestions welcome!
