If an alien race ever tried to invade earth and take over we'd jus have to send this guy out to stare them down and they'd be outta here.

You can tell a dope producer by the darkness of the circles around his eyes.

[wuzzuup8]

its a sampler, come on guys. one doesnt sound different than the other. its a sampler.

[yohppoy]

sorry, but also the samplers sound differnet one each other. akai mpc 1000 sound different from boss sp-303 wich sound different from korg es1 wich sound different from akai mpc 500 wich sound different from akai mpc 2000xl...also in the same label you find different sounds...

[MIGDHORSE]

dead on... all samplers have their own sound. for example... on madvillainy, you can tell a 303 was used. anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasnt had hands on experience using any of these machines... they probably use software sampling, or dont sample at all.

[lawofpsysics]

pretty 200% wrong man

[droan999]

@wuzzuup8 higher bit rate of sample on 404, 303 has less, dirtier sound. fn noobie

[foodid]

does the 404 really sound different to the 303? I know it got more voices played at the same time, but soundwise they should be the same, correct me if I am wrong...

[yohppoy]

yes, they sound different. i have bought. if you can see i've got a video on youtube with them. it depends on ac/dc converters. the sp-303 is a little bit more gritty than sp-404 wich is more "nicely".

cheers

[personpitch5767]

the sp 303 has been a sampler of choice....kieren hebden, panda bear, madlib...

[mattzart]

They moved on to the 404, though.

[abg3122]

animal collective uses both- i saw a vid of panda using 2 303s and deakin using a 404

[abg3122]

sorry, i meant geologist instead of deakin

[ssstephenssskates]

panda bear uses 555s these days

[mikhailmonju]

truth

[IAmInfinite]

no panda uses 303's for solo stuff still he's only using 555's for AC
