You got an extra $1200?

Thing I feel I desperately need though is more than likely just a “want”. You may have seen or rather heard it used by Battles and is an integral part of my plan to be able to play live with as few people as possible. What does it do? Pretty much everything. I have spent well over two years looking for the perfect sampling rig, this seems to be it. If anyone out there has any experience with this unit, let me know how it worked for you.

Yeah, it’s crazy expensive. The foot switch is an extra $130. I’m sure that you can get it for less now that the dollar is a little better but, holy smokes. And for that price you only get 16 MB of memory on a SIMM. Seems to me that the “wave of the future” would be a card based system that is user replaceable or at least using normal SDRAM so that you could bump that storage up to store complete songs (2 GB would be nice). You would kind of think this is possible now and the cost of RAM is so cheap. Problem is, it’s a tough thing to do the wait and see on because I doubt this is one of Gibson’s biggest sellers so they would either do a refresh of the line or drop it all together. If they drop it, you’re looking at eBay and then, that sucks.

About

Signal Response is written and maintained by Wade Sakundiak, a sometimes designer and all around ok guy from Canada. Usually, Signal Response is home to snarky posts about design or television or music. Lot’s of the time I post links to things other people on the internets have clued me into so forgive me if you’ve seen it before. Some of the language is crass, some of the writing is horrible but it’s my little corner of the internet and I’ll make as big a mess as I feel.
