HELP !!!!
I really need some expert advice...
I have a limited budget and have my eye on some gear.
I already have a highend PC (1GHZ/256mb with Guillermot Maxis ISIS card)
Running the following programs:
Cubase v5.0
Cakewalk
Rebirth
Reason
sonic Foundry
I want to get some hardware and as I was saying I have a set budget.
I can afford 2 of the following, please tell me which 2 I should get as a starting point.

Yamaha RM1X
Roland JV 1010
Korg Electribe ES-1
Zoom Sampletrack ST-224
Yamaha S200
akai S2000

So please help me and tell me which 2 of the above I should get and why you think i should get those 2
Personally I would choose the RM1X and then one of the samplers.
I am unsure of whether to get one of the phrase samplers or the akai.
Also someone has sugested I get the JV-1010 and the akai s2000 as these are more "professional" than the others
Would you agree?

Many Thanks

I'd go for the RM1X and the akai, but the electribe offers some cool grooving too.

So we identify horses... with ultra!

I would say JV-1010 and Akai S2000. JV-1010 has a great palette of professional sounds for all kinds of music. It's soundquality is better then the Rm1x. Akai S2000 is a cheap pro-sounding sampler for using drumloops, drumsamples, text, instruments, whatever :-)

I'd agree with DeltaM, you already have all the analog sounds you'd need with rebirth and reason, I think you should go for the JV and the S2000. Did you think about taking a midi keyboard to complete your set-up, I don't know if you're a keyboard player, but believe me it's better than the mouse for writing melodies or bass lines !

Right nook, a midikeyboard would be very usefull! Check http://studiologic.net for the masterkeyboards of Fatar. They exist in all sizes and prices, and are good quality!

DEFINITELY GO FOR AKAI S2000 AND JV.
forget about rm1x - what a crap. I heard it once live - no punch at all. no life, no character, no nothing. Probably the sequencer is good, but other stuff sucks.
Zoom - no way. Plasticus fantasticus.
GO for those two and you wont regret it.
