Yes the modulation processors are awesome and amazingly addictive...
some things are annoying on the emu however,
*lack of multiple eq points on a channel (filters only have one eq point)
*stopping sequencer to implement swing quantize
*not being able to sample
*not being able to set a pitch range for individual drum samples from a kit
*kits not being able to have different filters on each drum (unless u use multiple layers and links)
*digging through a bunch of menus all the time
*beats mode and arps occasionally crashing
*notes not sounding while being edited in pattern edit
*effects parameters not being modulation destinations
*lack of a compression effect (not to mention no side chaining)
*uninspiring effects section
*inability to set different pattern lengths on different tracks
Hi folks,
recently I was thinking about some sounds in context of my Korg Z1... and after few seconds I discovered that this synth - as powerful as it is - lacks one thing I *really* love in E-mu gear.
Modulation processors, namely.
I was also cranking some patches on Alesis Fusion, and the same thing applies (not to mention the FX architecture, which is utterly stupid in Fusion). Being able to modulate the amount of patchcord X with patchcord Y, using lag processors... do you also find those things addictive?
And how do you cope with the lack of them?
Looking forward to see your comments,
Bruno
