Akai Xr20 or Roland Sp404 (electro beat making)?

Question

I've looked at these two products and im not sure which to choose??

Im begining to produce music.

I need information or reasons why or why not or even if i should save up to the MPC range!!!

I want to create Electronic style and normal types of beat.

Answer 1

i honestly think you should go with an mpc 500 or an mpd (if u good with fl studio)!

i have the xr20 (im a begginer too) and its kool for making beats when u first get it. but after a while it gets really boring!! plus you cant sample with it(thats really g*y )!!!!! so I think you should go with the roland or save up and get an mpc

and if u into dj-ing u can even use an ipod as as a sampler
