I have one coming shortly, and am moving into a DAW-less setup for composition, although I’ll be tracking into Pro Tools like a tape machine. I was thinking about grabbing an older sampler like an Ensoniq EPS16+ to handle more melodic stuff and using the s2400 for beats/loops. But I’m not sure if there is any value getting a vintage machine vs a contemporary one like the s2400. Is there any sense to having two s2400s, one for each task or is it overkill? I don’t feel the need to get synths/drum machines, as I prefer samples. I have no interest in the Elektron stuff, or new MPCs, the UI doesn’t appeal to me.
cheers!
