I also find programming beats into the 909 to be very natural and easy. I find there's just an intuitiveness and quickness to it, I just slap the 909 into step mode, hit play, and start entering in patterns. It just *feels* right. :)
I can do the same thing with other drum machines (the Machinedrum, for example) but not of the other ones i've used have that same tactile feel to them. Back to it just feeling right. > yeah, looping works. it took me about ten years to get with the whole > resample program im a lazy bum, but it works like crazy.
