Just made my move from reddit to this instance and thougt I'd share with you my recent acquisition: the Tascam DP-24SD. It's a great device for the money it can be found!
Thank you! It's just half of it, haha. I'll snap a photo for you.
Why upgrade? What are you missing? I don't think the Pyramid is perfect (I wish it had more generative functionality) but I haven't come across anything that could replace it. Very very happy with it.
Be patient and you might get one for cheap :). I don't think their popularity will increase.. How is he utilising his device? What kind of music does he produce?
