Wierd, I was just on Youtube looking at MC 808 videos.

Seems dope. I personally wouldn't produce HipHop with it though, I'd make Electronica music. I'd trance out with it. :cool:

Because it seems more interactively exciting to make Techno, Trance, House music. Fiddling with the knobs n shit to come up with some crazy $hit on the fly. I'd rather make Hiphop on the computer.

I was just starting to follow what ya said until ya said you would rather make hip hop on the computer..thats almost an Oxy-moron from your thinking...

These have been around for some years and the models have changed so I am unsure...If ya want to know if anyone famous who does Hip hop..I do not know, it is definitely capable of making beats. I ended up a about 7 years ago getting the RS7000...similar in ways...I ended up getting rid of it and never looked back, although I shouldve kept it as an FX module, it had some pretty good effects

I never said, YOU CAN'T make Hiphop beats on the MC808, I just said, I PERSONALLY don't really care to do so. I'd rather use a computer, plugins and software sequencing. But again, that's ME, my opinion. I'm sure it's 100% capable of making Hiphop, no doubt. It just seems like a really fun box to use more so for Techno beats since Techno beats don't neccessarily have to get too sophisticated and the sounds are very re-usable.

How do the 16 pads translate to keyboard notes? Does it just lay out like an octave or what? Does it utilize multi-samples, or uses single notes and pitches those notes across? It just seems like a real bitch to bust out melodies. Probably have to break down more complex melodies into pieces. Or would you just have to hook up a midi keyboard?

Concerning internal samples: The 808's sound generator produces sound from two different kinds of patches. A "standard" patch is made up of four tones. Each tone can have two different waveforms, one for the left channel and one for the right channel. Waveforms can be either preset waveforms, or samples (both work the same way.) Rhythm patches are made up of 16 tones, each one assigned to a note. Rhythm tones can be made up of up to four

In regards to how the pads are laid out: "Normally, key 2 corresponds to C4." Thats a direct quote from the manual I just downloaded.

Cpncerning pitch bend, I believe thats possible with the D-Beam.

If I had broguht the machine, I was just gonna put it in storage or dump a shit load of drums in it and just use it for that.
