RE: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] Tell me how the S1100 sounds

Sampling vinyl is already inherently "warmer" than say sampling cd's.
Glass bottles - tubes, that's what you're looking for.
Maybe rusty strips of plastic - tape.
Add them in the mix somewhere or do it in Sonar with plugins.
You won't get that sort of thing from a digital sampler, afaik, at least
that's not their fort\ufffd.
That said pick the sampler that has an interface you're comfortable working
with.
"Character" and "Warmth" are nice names for what is basically distortion or
poor reproduction.
If you can get a "clean" "accurate" recording, you can add to it, or
subtract from it,
and have a "better" end product.

__________________________________________________________
I will be sequencing on Sonar SX3.

I have an RME Multiface II

I will be strictly sampling into the sampler and not using any pre-made
samples.

I will sample mostly from vinyl

As can probably tell from my setup, I'm mostly looking for a sampler that
will add some character to my samples.

The sound I'm shooting for can best be described as a Warm Hi-Fi
representation of my Lo-Fi vynil samples and the effects I will also add to
them.

So, what do you guys think?
