Hey there!

So, for a bit of context - my current setup is two samplers, an MPC 1000 and an SP-303. I've already been looking into JJOS and am pretty happy with these two instruments, though I'm wondering if there's anything I can add. Budget is probably gonna be around £400 at the absolute max, though I'm hoping there's something I can do with that cash that would be a good investment into what I'm currently doing.

I was think the Chroma Console, but I wanted to field some other answers, see if anyone else had a recommendation! :)

Recently attempted to repair an MPC 1000, I ended up making some soldering mistakes with attaching new switches, however I've got replacements and I'm planning on heading into an electronics shop in the morning to see if I can get someone with a more skilled hand to look at them. Unfortunately I ended up stripping this JST connector from the board in it's entirety (Don't ask me how). I'm not sure what type of JST it is, nor am I sure if it can be fixed. Anyone able to provide some clarity on this?

Just got my hands on the sidekick today and have been trying to get it to communicate with my PC. I feel like I'm having a really hard time discerning any information past adjusting the settings for USB audio, I don't know if it's a cable issue but I can't see it at all in any DAW I'm using. Otherwise it's absolutely fine but I really am having a hard time finding any information on the Sidekick as a USB audio interface as it was advertised, it's kinda why I bought it so I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong here.
