Re: [xl7] another sampler/sequnecer (almost OT)

2011-02-12 by Matt

I just purchased esi2000 and it came with external cd and jazz enclosure. only $100 yay! so i am playing with it and i am wondering if you have any info for me or tips i should figure out. I have kind of figured out how multi mode works and how to mount the drives and load sample banks from the cd. would love to be able to figure out how to process better and use filters and such. I ask you since you had emu esi32 which is predecessor, right?

Sorry for a new non-E-MU question but I've just found an old machine for a
reasonable price.
Does anyone know the Ensoniq ASR-X Pro? - btw it looks like a prototype of
the E-MU Command Stations. :)

I'm especially curious about the sound of that, not the sequencer
capabilities. (The CS's sequencer or a DAW is good enough for me.)

I know it is difficult to objectively talk about the sounds,
I try to give an example what kind of sound I'm looking for:
Until now I owned two samplers: E-MU ESI32 and an AKAI MPC 4000,
to be honest I felt the ESI has a much better sample playback.
(Unfortunately both machine had to be sold...)

Do I think right the ASR-X Pro has an ESI32-like sound or better?
