What do you use in your studio or for live acts ?
I'm using a Virus TI desktop, a korg ESX1 in sync with the KAOSS PAD 3, all hooked to a little mixer...I'm looking out to expand my set up, as the Korg ESX1 has only 3 channels to route to the Virus TI's synths...making it a little bit limited. (It also bugs on me at times, I think I'll sell it for an EM1X, which I used to have...and sold...(I keep buying and selling stuff...) anyways the EM1X has 5 synth channels to route to the Virus synth, and also the presets in it are much more clearer but less dynamic) Anyways, I think that a MC-808 would be an extra hardware sequencer for the Virus TI...it has motorised faders...so cool, but still, I think the Korg EMX1 (or the ESX1) is an essential peace of equipment for a live act. So I'll keep one of those eventually!
What do you think ?
Apart from that when I work in the studio I use an old MAC G4 laptop, Digital Perfomer 5, Reason with a bunch of great samples and xtreme fx!
