some one who used this site asked me a question via email, i thought id let others see it too, to maybe help. i know i used this site for my buying decsions so i know where you are all at. peace.
yes, i make hiphop beats on the triton le. i used to own an mpc as well. the sounds on the triton le are the same as the regular triton, but improved (because it is newer) the only differance is there is no pcm expansion boards, but that is okay because the sampler is awesome! i do admit, the mpc sampler is easier to figure out, but if you figured out the mpc,
then you will have no problom on the le. if you have any basic questions on how to pump out the basic beats on the le, just ask and i will try to help you.
seriously, on the le, in 5-10 minutes, i can get a snare, kick, and hihat hiphop beat going, bassline too. the tritonle has the ability to step record, just like the mpc, but i think it is better than the mpc because of the keyboard and basic sounds you dont want to sample, like the strings (who do you
know that owns an orchestra to sample?) the basses are awesome too. basically all the sounds are professional. plus with the triton you can edit all of those sounds. i mean really edit them, mess with frequencies, lfo, oscalators, etc., octave. you can layer sounds like piano, and a violin, and cool stuff like that. everything is there to produce good hiphop.
lots of hiphop groups use the triton, like the living legends, some commerical too. i know that dr.dre probably used it at some point as well. overall the triton is an awesome piece of equipment.
i make some raw beats. the drums have punch. although its always nice to sample your own and make them real punchy, but the triton is awesome. the keys are anolog too, so the harder you hit the keys, the more they resonate, like on
a snare drum, if you hit it harder it will vibrate more, the drums are like that on the triton.
overall i would say do not think you will be disappointed with the triton le. and i would buy the triton le, not the regular triton, or the karma. the price
is better and everything is the same except the expansion boards, but those are
downloadable off the net and cost alot less then the differance between the triton le and the classic triton.
im into more intelectual hiphop, im fairly new at producing, but i love it. i do not do anything professional, but i make the beats my freinds and i rap or freestyle too. recently ive been trying to hook up with a couple buddies of mine to lay some serious stuff down. i just bought an mrs-4 by zoom. its a digital 4 track recorder. its only 230 bucks, but its high quality, not the best out there, but good because it uses smartmedia like the triton le, so i can record tracks, put them on my computer and burn a cd. for a good hiphop production kit, go with the le, a mic, and that zoom 4 track. i figure that im
starting out, when i get better, i can buy more and better things.
i have a blast with my triton and 4track recorder, i lay a beat, and friend, busts a freestyle and boom ive got it to cd.
i would say i like to make simple beats, but progressive, not annoying bleeping
shit. i like jazzy stuff, although im still learning that stuff, sequencing that shit is wierd, using triplets. i would recomend to help you with that stuff, print out some drum tab off the internet, you can use it to sequence drum tracks using step recording, and learn types of drumming, like jazz.
i also like the quantize on the triton, the mpc had it but ive seemed to get better results when i use the triton then on the mpc. but maybe its just how i do it. do youlike the mpc? i sold mine for the le because i needed a good keyboard, but figured i go with a cost effective package that didnt sacrafice good results. its funny lots of people buy the triton for its sounds, but dont realize they dont really need any other shit to sequence or sample. i guess its
a matter of what you are used to, but if you get used to the triton you will learn a ton of shit.
