ha haha LOL
You know what's ∗really∗ scary? When you can pick out sounds from
ROMplers on Sample CD's - ha haha I just picked up a couple of old
Sounds Good sample CD titles on blowout from Sounds Online. Going to
see how badly I can mangle some 'Roots Reggae' tracks into ambient dub tracks!

Yeah, then you can layer your AN1x electro sounds with some other
samples, pump the lot through a digi delay set to tempo and resample the
whole lot. Burn your OWN loops! You know, the A3000 from Yammie offers
a nifty resampling feature for those of you on this list who own one. I
swear by the resampling on my ASR-X Pro :-)

Absolutely in agreement. With the proliferation of sound cards, digital
audio editors and as cost effective (read: cheap) samplers these days
there is NO REASON to let the limits of polyphony or multitimbral
channels hinder your use of the AN1x. I say go for it!
