Message-ID: <81@nixeid.UUCP> Date: 10 May 91 11:39:41 GMT Organization: Nixdorf Computer Software,Dublin Ireland Lines: 25 I am trying to decide which Drum/Percussion machine/module to buy. At the moment I have a Roland R8M + u220 drum sounds + W30. How does the R8M compare to machines like the ALESIS sr-16, Hr-16, D4. EMU Pro/cussion. or any other drum machines that might be out there. One thing I feel is missing from my current system is the trigger pads that you get with machines such as the sr-16. Is it worth buying a machine like this just for the triggering capabilities ? Anyway all views, experiences, oppinions and suggestions would be a big help. Thanks in advance. >>>-------------------------( fin )--------------------------------***>>>>> David Ryan, qoffice@nixeid.nix.ie
