7 years, that's very interesting. So what do you prefer these days? All I produce is house, progressive and tribal techno but am software based. Just looking to get something to fatten my beats in the near futuredvyce said:completely different machines... they don't really have any relation to eachother for comparison.
It is like asking if you like "yellow" or "blue" better
although I will say that the 909 is kinda played out if you ask me... I haven't used mine for at least 7 years (probably more)
the 909... that is the classic house and techno machine... but a bit dated in my opinion now.

I was under the impression the only real diff between the 2 was that the 909 was more synthesis based and the 707 was more sample based?

These days it's damn near pointless to buy a 808 or 909... there;s so many good sample packs of sounds that you can easily replicate having those bits of gear with just a sampler... They are nice drum machines, but why in the hell anyone would pay over $1000 for one is beyond me... The Jomox 888 and 999 are cool machines, but it's the same situation.. is it REALLY worth the money? I guess so, if you have deep pockets and must have all the new toys. To be honest, a Korg ER-1 mkII electribe is probably the best value in drum machines right now...
Nice, you should post some samples! lol
