Re: [AN1x-list] Commercial Trance

Yes, you are right about the arps, but in this case youd actually be using
the sampler as a phrase sampler not a fully fledged one...a real sampler can
be used to make yer own sounds (synth-like or whatever.....) whith which you
can make new arpegios, riffs or whatever you like...In the latter situation
your sampler would essentially be a synth (with unlimited osc's) as someone
earlier stated..
