I made this statement in the context of achieving TRANCE ARPEGIOS as opposed
to sampling them of a CD.
Let me get this right - if you SAMPLE an arpegio FROM A CD, arent you stuck
with the filtering and effects that it was recorded with on the CD ??
( Whereas if you buy a synth and program the arpegio you can apply your own
without being encumbered by that which was used on the CD ! )
If you're going to quote me, at least address the actual context of the
thread !
