Re: [AN1x-list] fwd: OT : samplers

2001-04-21 by traun@mail.com

The Kurzweil K2000 with os 3.xx is the one of best sampler I ever used.
And the V.A.S.T is still powerful, its more than just a substractive
synthesizer its a matrix synthesizer, and it adds a very unique sound to
your samples.

The draw bars on k2000 as I see it:

- Only 24 voice polyphonic
- Internal effect processor is not good.
- the mixed output i noisy
- V.A.S.T algorithms are sometimes to small (for example it is not
possible to ring modulate a sync saw with a sample and the put i true a
Low pass filter with variable resonance)
- The filters can't self oscillate.
- Sync slave OSC can only be a SAW OSC.
- Samples are not on the matrix modulation list.

But hey, nothings perfect.
