the stranger Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 I've narrowed my choices down to these two. I'm leaning toward the 770 because Roland is such a good company, but the RY20 sounds like it may have an edge feature-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST.Morigeaugte.net Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 I bought the DR770 a couple of weeks ago and have loved it since I took it out of the box. The manual is just OK, but it is enough to get you going, also the machine is fairly intuitive. I fiddled around with 4 or 5 similar units side by side at the local Guitar Center ( non were the Yamaha RY-20), and found (to me anyway) that it had a better all around sound. As you probably know the suckers come with a lot of presets, with a fair amount of storage for yer own recipes. Again only had it a couple of weeks, so I'm probably a little bias a this point. I'm not totally familiar with the Yamaha RY-20, but have seen a couple of site that didn't have a lot of positive feedback. Below is one site. I would guess that EQ or SOS would have more info.

DBENNVAhotmail.com Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 Peeps, How could you even compare those two. The DR770 greatly out distances the Yamaha. 770 hands down. Quantum! C/O DBENNVA@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curve Dominant Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 YO! YO! YO! Before you buy anything, Doc, ya mind telling us what yer looking for, soundz & style-wise? What kind of music are you into? What flavors of grooves do you want to explore? What's yer budget? NEVERMIND...I just clicked on your homepage. Go wit da 770. Mo & Quantum give it props, + Roland IS a cool outfit. I use the Korg ElectribeS (sampler + sequencer = tripped-out groovebox) and was about to recommend you demo that (or the ElectribeR: all the above minus sampling) before you commit, but it's an urban thang, and I don't know if you wanna go there, unless you are interested in experimenting on a more psychedelic tip. But you may want to demo the E-Tribes anyway, just for the f*ck of it. Anywho, a new beatbox is a beautiful thing whatever you get, as long as it isn't the Alesis SR16 (great sequencer, pathetically dated sounds). Just remember: if it's also a SAMPLER (E-TribeS), your possibilities open up to INFINITY. IMHO. Groove out baby!!

the stranger Posted December 9, 2000 Author Share Posted December 9, 2000 You guys rule! I'm going to go with the 770. Yeah, I'm into the more heavy type thing, so... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Anyway, my main use will be using it to lay down some cool beats that my 1 year old drumming skills aren't quite up to par with. I prefer to have real drums, but some of the stuff I write on guitar requires a bit more than what level I'm at, drum-wise. Curve, I'll mostly be slamming out some thrash shit, possibly some inhumanly fast grind, but I'm also a Dick Dale fanatic, so I've been wanting to do a surf project. My tastes are quite eclectic. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curve Dominant Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 You go, boy! Any fan of Dick Dale is a good brotha o' mine (my "real" brutha Kurt can play Dale's solos note 4 note - no sh*ttin U). I luv that sh*t. PALLA PALLA PALLA PALLA PALLA PA PALLA PA PALLA... BA NA NA BINGA BINGA PALLA - BA NA BINGA BINGA PALLA... Demo the E-Tribes. I gotta feeling about you...they're like 21st century surf beatboxes - that's why I use 'em. Surfin' the concrete, steel & glass beaches. IMHO... -{@}-[thegroovefactory]-{!!!}- Eric Vincent (ASCAP) www.curvedominant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stranger Posted December 10, 2000 Author Share Posted December 10, 2000 Curve, I have glanced at the e-tribes and read asst. reviews. I'll have to definitely check into them. Tell your bro' The Victor rules supreme!! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif (Of course, it's hard to pick a fav) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
