I’m quite indecise about this one… OG PO33 is one of my fav samplers (and I have an OT / SP404mk2 / m8 etc.) so I nearly instabought the 133.
But some things puzzle me. The 33 is very barebone, but it has one resonant filter per pad + recordable punch fx + THAT SOUND, MY MAN! So, while being undeniably lofi, it has a very cohesive, warm, crunchy sound that kinda mixes itself.
I see that the 133 has a much higher fidelity samplerate / bitrate, so we won’t have that magical glue / crunchyness. And one non resonant filter PER GROUP + one send and no resampling… I dunno, I fear it will sound a bit muddy or crowded in there.
I know the first mpc were pretty limited on the sound shaping options too, but they had separate outs, tho.
Btw, this step rec mode is directly influenced by the mpc’s step rec / events rec, I used it a looooot on my 500.
