Re: [AN1x-list] Commercial Trance

Oh dear, remind me to read my text before hitting 'SEND"!

It should read:

"...On the other hand, a sampler (like a ROMpler) can't modulate the
pulse-width of a square wave with an LFO like a synth such as the AN1x
can. The AN1x's percussion, and accoustic instruments are *very* limited,
plus its polyphony and multitimbrality is pathetic in comparison to a
sampler. This is why there is room in the world for both Samplers and
Synths. It's just a shame though that samplers have a nasty reputation for
only being good at stealing other people's ideas."

Hi Paul,

A 'sampler' is essentially a ROMpler (ie. sound module) with an unlimited,
never outdated collection of sounds.

On the other hand, like a sampler (like a ROMpler) can't modulate the
pulse-width of a square wave with an LFO. There is room in the world for
both Samplers and Synths. It's a shame though that samplers have a nasty
reputation for only being good at stealing other people's ideas.

Yes but why would buy a sampler just to sample CD's when you could spend the
same money on the actual synth (????)
