Hey, Guys;

I have a Korg is50 Workstation. Would like to able to create guitar rhythm strums, finger picking patterns and loops to be used when creating music from scratch. I can do it on the is50 but it takes forever. I'm mostly into Country and Western music styles so the groove boxes and dance machines are a bit over kill.

Does anyone have any experience with the Oberheim Strummer or Cyclone? What about the Echoplex Pro? I'm new to this electronic music making scene and don't know enough about what is out there to know what to buy? I'm just basically wanting to create patterns and riffs, and be able to loop them for as long as I need and to insert them into the song any place I want them. Something with some factory presets would be nice, but not necessary.

If anyone can help I will appreciate it.

Thanks.

Kenny James
