Paul ,
I fully agree with you (though why 'forget the technology' ? ) - and you know
what ? I am not having a sampler even yet here ..
I use audio tracks in sequencer plus used sampling functions in the audio card
but now I have changed to Gina 24 and I definitly gonna get myself a Ultra (Emu)
or something else .
But currently I've been using 4 synths but no samplers ... (AN-1x, ViRUS b,
WaveStation SR and Proteus 2000)
Speaking about samplers - I am going to get a top-end sampler and am thinking
about EMU Ultra series and AKAI 5000 ... or maybe Yamaha A4000-A5000 (but the
latest has UGLY SCSI as I know so I am somehow not sure if its in the same
'line') ..
Could anyone give some advice on this topic ?
Thanks.
<And again - not for sampling others loops , melodies and so on - I am kinda
thinking of using it half like a synth , for drum sounds plus some real
instruments and editing the hell out of ViRUS and otther lines with dif. FX>
