Did it on this and then by '98, I graduated to the 3000. And I really haven't stopped using the 3000. This is like, the machine that I think hasn't been topped yet as far as hardware drum machines. Nothing sounds like this... Nothing sounds like the SP-1200, either, but it's, your time is very limited on that, so to me having this was like having a suped-up SP with more time. You could still chop and have the samples cut each other off, like you can on the one output, the single output on the 1200. You get that knock, that punch, y'know what I'm sayin'? Y'know, rest in peace to Dilla, this was his machine as well, the machine he used to rock on, Dr. Dre to my understanding has a quite of few of 'em... and that's how I gets busy. There's a lot o' new things out there in the world that a lot o' cats are gettin' into, y'know, to make their life easier. I'm adjustin' to that as well, but from now on, this will always remain in my studio, man. I'm not getting rid of it. That's what it is right there."

For bumping beats, DJ Spinna switches back and forth between an E-mu SP-1200 (which samples at a constant rate of 12 bits, 22 kHz) and an Akai MPC 3000 (which samples at a constant rate of 16 bits, 44.1 kHz, or CD quality). “Lately, I've been using the 3000 a lot because of the memory, clarity, and capability it has,” he explains. “When I want it to be on the raw tip, I go back to the SP-1200.”

This is not a old school joint, this is relatively new school, but I like the sounds that are in it. It's the Korg MS2000.

This used to be the duo right here, the SP-1200 and the 950, that's how I started making beats. I actually got this SP-1200 from one of my heroes of electronic music, his name is Todd Terry, he was one of the first dudes... or probably the- he is the first dude to bring in samples into the house world. Like, his beats was always dirty and grimy and... he gave me this machine back in like '95. And this is how I did most of the beats that came out, like, in the Ruckus era, the Beyond Real era, the J-Live, the Das-EFX joints, y'know, all those joints. Did it on this and then by '98, I graduated to the [Akai MPC] 3000. And I really haven't stopped using the 3000.

On the floor over here, if you look down here, I got the Moog Prodigy which I use every once in a while, y'know, to get the Moogy synth sounds that I love so much.

Used for "Outta Time", "Back 2 U" and "Peace and Quiet", as specified in the liner notes of Intergalactic Soul. Selan played it on the former two, while James Hurt played on the latter.
