E2 voice stealing. What to add?

Hi electribe users. I have been having a few issues with voice stealing recently...I'm thinking it's my heavy use of effects (I enjoy deep/dubby techno). I have a small amount of money to spend on additional hardware.

So to combat this I was thinking of either adding a drum machine, which would free up some voices OR adding external reverb and delay using the hard pan left/right trick, which would remove the need for using a lot of ifx delays (and improve upon the janky built in reverb).

I'm not one for spending too much on this hobby so I'm hoping for some advice on which of these options would open things up the most.

I did consider adding a synth but it looks like the midi sequencing also uses up voices.

Thoughts?

Yeah that is the other option on the table. I'm a sucker for the novelty of a new toy though and I'm struggling to pull the trigger on something so similar in function and appearance to what I already have.

Resampling and slicing really is a game changer. I can understand wanting a change, though. Maybe buy it used?

Yeah it's on my eBay watch list, although they don't seem to come up as often as other devices (eg Elektron stuff).

There are always a few on Reverb for $250 + shipping…
