I did another thing... surprising absolutely no one at all.

The problem with trying to pacify myself with a cheap #SP202 in hopes that it would tide me over and prevent a more expensive impulse buy, is that it only made it worse.

We all know where this ends... but I'll try and make this far cheaper toy last for a while before the inevitable purchase of a fully loaded #2000XL

Working with the SP-202 is hilarious. It's so simple and intuitive, but difficult to do anything meaningful with.

Hihat sample a little too loud? Delete it and sample it again. Too quiet? Delete and redo. I mean, it makes sense, it's just too bad deleting a sample takes several seconds every time.

The voice stealing is amazing. A lot of devices do this, especially once effects are applied, but you can usually use the thing for a while before running into it, while you're still learning.

This thing has so little polyphony to go around, but still shares it with the effects, you *will* experience voice stealing, almost immediately. It's probably wise to supplement the kick and hat with a combined kick+hat sample.

I am very entertained.
