All of the above?

Sorry, that was my evil GAS side peeking through there.

Seriously, they're all different with minimal overlap meaning each will bring new things to the table. ...Along with massive jamming potential.

I'm not helping am I?

In saying that, I think you may have much of the EMX-1 aspect already covered by the Radias, sound-engine wise? Looks like they're very similar, just with different ways of generating grooves/patterns. ... Whereas an ESX may be good for bringing in and triggering your own samples (which the Radias can't), or an EMX could supplement the Radias with additional grooves/sequencing.

You could stick either an ESX or EMX into your Radias audio inputs, and then use a KP3 on the Radias' outputs to mash it all up. Given that the Radias has four outputs, you could send the additional two outputs of the Radias into the audio inputs of the ESX/EMX for processing/sampling too. Stacks of fun.

well ive been having a hard time understanding the step sequencer on the Radias...

im trying to program certain beats/grooves and it just seems incredibly difficult to get what i want? am i missing something???

i heard the EMX is good for drums and such whereas with the ESX i can tweak my own sounds etc....

however...im mainly looking for some good drum beats to jam along with my Radias...maybe im looking at the wrong gear for that? should i just get an external drum machine???

and the KP3 on the other hand just looks fun to play with! (that sounded wrong)

bottom line...unless i can figure out how to easily access/program the drum feature/step sequencer on the Radias im gonna be grinding my teeth until then...

input anyone???
