RE: [xl7] Re: Roland vs. E-mu Sounds

It's really a variphrase on steroids, and in a lot of respects it IS like a
traditional sampler, in that you can play material above and below it's source
key with very little noticable degradation, with formant correction.  Not to
mention liquid drum loops at any tempo.  It holds audio internally and you have
to preencode everything but there is batch processing software for it.  Good
enough for me :)

But this is really not a sampler though, is it?  I would like the autochop
feature coupled with one of the xx7 boxes.  man would that be sweet.

I think the command station and one of these should do the trick:
http://www.8thstreet.com/product.asp?ProductCode=6242
<http://www.8thstreet.com/product.asp?ProductCode=6242&Category=Synthesizers
> &Category=Synthesizers

I'd rather keep my 505 and divy up for the variphrase by itself.  Especially
since they dropped a  bit of the functionality from the 909.  I'm not
worried
about the 909 soundset, I allready have it on other gear.

Ahh.  Got it.  I did manage to get it to do that (but then it spewed
the sample over 16 notes of the drummap, but there's probably a way
around that).  It was automatic (sort of) in that you set a transient
threshold, above which it would slice the sample.  Worked fine for a
drumloop, not so great for instruments or vocals.  For anyone who's
wondering, it was almost exactly like the Motif's "audio sequencing".
Kinda seems like the guys who design the variphrase stuff and the guys
who design the groovebox stuff don't talk that much to each other...

Guess we'll have to wait for the MC-13013 for the full
time/pitch/formant variphrase stuff!
