“the 2500 is i think the last of the classics. the 5000’s way better than it’s reputation but it’s kind of bloated and the synth’s terrible. i’ve had a couple of 1000’s and whilst they’re meant to be be basically the same machine under the hood i feel the 2500 sounds a little better. there’s a bit more presence and air to the samples i always found the 1000 to be a little boxy, if more portable, but maybe that’s just me. the pads however are way better.
this one comes with a hard drive, 80gigs ( i will double check this) and it’s in really good condition with no marks to speak of. it’s got the original packaging and manuals too for transport. i’ll post shots of these later in week.
full disclosure the guy i bought it from had had some of the switches replaced and sold it as fully functional. he obviously didn’t use the bar advance buttons as they’re a bit non responsive. i don’t tend to use them either so it’s it been a problem for me but none the less it’s important to declare this. also there’s some paint wear on the jog shell but it’s still super responsive and clicky.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
