I’m wondering if I should get the S2400. So far I’ve just been using the Teenage Engineering KO II, and I absolutely love how it works, especially the hands on feel, live effects, and how fun it is for making and manipulating beats. That said, I’m looking for something that can be the centrepiece of my setup.
I’m hoping to move further into live sets and possibly gigging, in which case this would be my main machine. I’m also keen on making full tracks using just one piece of gear. The version I’ve been looking at also has a DSP installed.
I’m not specifically chasing the 12 bit sound, but from the videos I’ve seen it looks and sounds great. My concern is whether I’d be overpaying if sound character isn’t my main priority. My other options would be the MPC Live 2 or 3, or the OP XY from Teenage Engineering.
Get the S2400 you can’t go wrong. Here is a crazy option available too….

The S2400 is AMAZING and while you can do most of what you want to do, one of the current MPCs would most likely deliver the most bang for your buck. I have an MPC X that is an excellent piece of gear but at times I get stuck because of option overload and it lacks the sound quality and simplicity that the S2400 brings to the table for me. I used to own a live 2 and I would say that if I were to do a lot of live gigs that would be my instrument of choice; and you can grab a used live 2 way cheaper than an S2400 since there are so many out in the wild.
