Which drum machine to do synth punk/industrial live?
I was wondering which one to buy because I've never had one, I want to be less dependent on ableton and being able to play with the sound of individual parts of the drums and different patterns (with physical knobs and buttons).
In my band we have a distorted guitar, bass guitar, a Behringer crave and a Roland spd-sx, I would love that the drum machine were like another full instrument, not just to lay drums in the back. Our influences are Atari teenage riot, dame area, Leroy se meurt, (sometimes) la Elite, etc. Most of the time pretty dark and fast sounds.
I really need a good sequencer (able to store patterns, make fills, change subdivisions and length of the pattern), I would like to be able to charge samples.
I like the sequencer of the arturia drumbrute impact, but I've seen reviews that it doesn't have a very good sound.
I have also seen the Elektron model:cycles, but I don't think it's that immediate to change the different sounds.
The Korg groovebox caught my attention because you can also store synths but I think it doesn't fit all my necessities (?).
The Roland tr8s seems like the perfect fit because on top of all the things I want it's also compatible with the triggers of my Roland spd-sx, it's compatible with ableton (I guess, haven't looked too much into it), I can import samples, etc. but it's kinda out of budget and I think it's such a big investment for something I'm not a professional in. I've seen that the Roland tr8s maintains it's value over the time, because the second hand ones are in the 500€ range, so maybe in a couple of years if I want to resell it I won't loose too much money.
Let me know your thoughts!
