I've messed around some with the Handsonic at a couple of stores. I have to agree with some of the criticisms on the 'Got the Handsonic' thread, and I must say that I agree that it doesn't pass the muster as a hand-drum substitute. However, I have fallen for many of the sounds, mostly those of the Eastern and African persuasion. These are the kinds of instruments I wish the TD-10 and its expansion card included rather than the damn car horns and bounces and such. The Handsonic would be nice to use as a sound source. But at a thousand bucks....
Then I'm thinking that there must be sequencers, samplers, or some such instruments available that can do the same thing; I've heard that there are keyboards which have ethnic cards available, or sequencers with these kinds of instruments already included. Something like this might be a more useful alternative to the Handsonic.
My experience with electronics is pretty much limited to drums, so my knowledge is pretty sketchy. I know some of you regulars here get into the keyboard side of things, and maybe can steer me in the right direction. Anything out there sound like what I'm looking for?
Gracias in advance,
Doug J.
