I was on the fence but then a used model at a relatively local store showed up and pushed me over. I love it. It's amazing. I don't know if it's the 90s kid in me but having samples at my disposal in a proper pro board is just fantastic. I picked up a copy of SampleRobot (which is a bloody ripoff but well implemented) and have been ripping stuff off VSTs and my other keyboards. So happy!
Anyhow that's about all. I'm very curious about the thread discussing increasing the hard drive size... but it seems like that's gone dead. Hopefully Sequential sanctions some way to do this officially. Their support team has always been cool with me opening up their synths, ripping out boards and sending them down for repair. Seems like offering a bigger drive as a user-installable package wouldn't be super out of the question!
Hi Preston, good to hear you are enjoying the P X.
I myself have made a few attempts to workout how another SSD can be installed into the P X. The issue is that the operating system and partition/file system format is not open source. Formatting a replacement SSD is not as easy and straightforward as I was expecting it to be.
Then live happened and knocked me over into another direction.
I am very very happy with the build in samples in the P X. I kind of lost interest, mainly because my time is very limited and precious and I am very happy playing with the build in samples, 8Dio libraries and quite a few home made bits and pieces.
At the moment I am pursuing sampling and granular synthesis in Eurorack. Getting samples in and out of a Eurorack modules is a lot easier to do than on the P X. I am currently awaiting the arrival of an Instruo Abhar. When that module has arrived I will bring my sampling technique to a whole new level.
