Shouts out to facebook user Allan klinbail “son of zev” out of Australia for copping a custom 2500 from 16squarez.
full blown version with drum expansion, audio expansion (ext. inputs, additional outputs), synth expansion (two additional synth voices).
The new Nike Store debut in our hometown, Turin. Slathered in lights, vibrant with music, the façade turns into a 4-story-high musical sequencer, where people can create their music in real time stepping up to the Kinect-fitted platform and conducting an orchestra of sounds and colors.

Our first arcade game was this Gauntlet unit. It's not as big as the drum machine, but it doesn't have casters, so it's harder to move.
I traded two beat up no name 3/4 size Teisco Del Rays for this bad boy. Check the awesome sound samples:
This is an improvised DJ/live set using only the Elektron Octatrack, Machinedrum and Monomachine. Everything is done live. No additional effects or mixers were used.
The Octatrack plays back time stretched loops and samples. At the same time it sends out MIDI clock to the Machinedrum and the Monomachine. The audio outputs from these two units are connected to the two input pairs of the Octatrack. This makes the Octatrack function as a powerful mixer and effects unit in addition to being a sound source.

I'm pretty sure that the Alesis SR18 and the AKAI XR20 share the same innards. But the sounds and grooves are targetting diametrically different audiences.
The Alesis caters to Pop and Rock genres, whereas the XR20 pumps HipHop and Urban grooves. But you don't need to actually listen to the machine to find this out; a look at the preset names is indication enough: "Addidaz", "SK8TA", "Dawg" and "Hustla" are anything but ambiguous, methinks.

Adriana Mujal is a young multidisciplinary talented dancer.
His life is dancing and his soul is rhythm in motion.
She's the beat!!
When she dances, she shines like a neon STAR!

There's something about Hip-Hop which makes you want to just get involved - being a consumer isn't enough, you want to produce something - whether that's rhymes, beats, graffiti, whatever! I've been working with beats and pieces since I was 11 or so, just learning bits about making tracks - starting with a basic Yamaha keyboard, to tracker programs before PCs had soundcards, through endless loop recorders, software sequencers, synths and samplers and eventually onto gear like this - my MPC1000, which I love despite it being in need of some repair :o) After working on a PC all day, it can be a bit much to have to turn on another one to make some tunes!
I'll always be a sampling producer in the main; there's an art to taking a record (or ten) and making it do what you want it to do, changing the sound or composition to reflect your own style; especially when you take either something awful or just a tiny, forgotten couple of notes on an old song and use that as the basis for something fresh.
Hip-Hop started from taking old records and making them new - if you can't get with that, then it's just not for you!

Shout outs to @nelson__m for letting 16squarez flip his stock black 2500 into this white, black and gray beauty!

Virus is gone. I loved it, but needed a change. Replaced by DSI Mopho Keyboard, DSI Tetra (fully controlled by Mopho Keyboard: HELL YES), and Akai MPC 2000XL.
Definitely a very different workflow, but very refreshing!
Still waiting on my monitors to arrive, as you can see from the empty stands.
This one also shows other sources of distraction: my macbook pro, and iphone.
