Good rhythm composer for solo playing
This old 1986 rhythm composer can still be used today, thanks to its MIDI IN/OUT ports (and also bunch of jacks). This gear is FOR YOU if you want to, for example play an instrument such as a guitar, and have an accompaniment (that replace a metronome). You can easily get it in hand, even though some menu are confusing. The buttons also have a weird feeling, kinda stiff. Even though nowadays, these TR-505 are all yellow, you will find a lot on second-hand. Unfortunately, I would have think that you can find some in second-hand for super cheap, but it's not the case. You will find them around 100€.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
The default sequences are quite bad, you should reallllllly learn how to make your own sequences using your TR-505 manual, that you can also find online.
Avg price: $59.58
Cheap & Useful & Good Quality
I've bought this Korg MicroKontrol for 60€. It have a drum pad and a lot of sliders and encoders. A problem I got with using the MicroKontrol, is that it's a bit tricky to get in hand with its way to work, because the drivers are really made weirdly.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
If you want to push a new config, or new scenes to your MicroKontrol, you will need the microKONTROL EDITOR LIBRARIAN software, and have your computer started with the MicroKontrol already turn on. Afterwards you just can just head to the software, and push your new configs. Afterwards, you can launch your DAW softwares. If you want to modify something on the keyboard, you will have to close your DAW software, to avoid using the MIDI, and then you can modify everything on the software.
