I have 200 or dollars that I want to spend on drum or drum/synth hardware. I bought a Korg Electribe ea-1 on ebay but was ripped off on the deal and now rethinking my options and want to buy something new. So i'm mainly looking for a drum module and would be a plus to program meledys for between 150-200. What are your sugguestions or ideas?

Thanks for the advice formant. I am looking for something that already has quality drum sounds in it. How would a rack incorporate into my workflow? I have a midi keyboard and use reason an d fl, reason primarily. Would the midi keyboard go through the rack or vice versa? Or would I import the sounds from the rack into redrum? thanks man your a lifesaver

edit

i'm trying to surf the internet to find an answer but every site has biased coments on their products and do not explain how too incorporated this into ones setup.

rewire reason to fl, and sequence midi gear from fl too. You playback and edit in pre production with fl and the mixdown aswell, recording the input into fruity.

M-trigger finger seems like a good buy, also the akai mpd16 may work as well because you can connect them to your pc via usb so as long as you have sounds on your pc to work with, you can utilize either one.

as far as something having "quality" drums sounds on it, that's gonna be left up to the ear of the person who's buying the gear. it's not a bad thing to find your own sounds and tweak them to your satisfaction, you have a lil more control over'em that way as oppose to just dealing with the sounds that comes with the gear. it maybe in your best interest to leave yourself open in that regards homie. Peace.
