if you want a discount you pretty much have to get their gear used which i haven't had an issue with

i got this OP-1 for $960 which is below what the og price was
and its basically 3 pieces of gear in one

its def an investment tho.

i will say their gear is probably the most intuitive on the market. you'll figure out how to use everything in about a day, and you'll be churning out stuff really really fast, but it'll probably take a few weeks to get settle in to the quirks well enough to find your own workflow. and thats all their products. you can pretty much make a whole album on any of them.

that said if you don't wanna drop a rack, try the PO-33 out. its more powerful than it looks and it can sample literally anything
