it's cool to see what others are doing with their ASR-X's.
for me it's been a luke warm experience with the unit until now. until i started digging into the unit. i was convinced of selling it the first night i got it. but the resampling feature is insane with the auto normalize function. it actually works. i'm flying through the machine like i've owned it for 10 years. very straightforward stuff if you're used to ensoniq kit.
Matt, no i don't have a single rom anymore. all 4 of my slots are empty. i have a friend that is making a PPG and Voyetra 8 and Arp 2600 rom for me with the real machines that he has. but he's very slow and it's gonna take a while for him to burn the rom. right now i am more than happy with the ESQ-M and Juno 1. i have no interest in the roms and i'm not gonna get on that wagon of chasing them down. the custom one is a different story. the effects on the CS totally suck and i think the machine sounds thin to my old ears. they sound like a rusty tin can. very groovebox sounding. the only groovebox all in one solution's effects that i have owned that actually sounds decent has been the ASR-X. it has a similar engine to the DP4. i say similar because it's lacking a ton of algos and configuration. it's not the same. but it's like a very stripped down version of the processor. but the meat and potatoes are kinda there. kinda. all i need is the wonderful EQ to carve new voices, and some of the reverbs are decent. and maybe the delays in a pinch. but it's sure is one handy machine compared to so many other failure samplers i've owned. i love the desktop footprint. i am replacing my LCD with a white on blue in a week or two. it's gonna look sick. did i meantion how sick the envelopes are? the LFO's aren't doing much for me at the moment, but give me some time.
i want to try that software for the ASR-X now. i think it's ASR-X tools by chicken systems. now that would be totally dangerous in the right hands.
to compare the ASR-X to the MPC-3000 back in the day was a total waste of time by magazines, etc. they're not even close. the MPC-3K has a real sequencer but can't touch the sampling engine of the ASR-X, and everyone knows the sequencer is a turd in the ASR-X. although some people have gotten it to work. i'm not gonna even bother unless i totally get bored and i'm shipwrecked on a desert island with headphones.
the ASR-X and it's ability to load .aif's and .waves is totally bonkers with no conversion software necessary. i have a 2gig compact flash on board my unit and i'm gonna go nuts on this thing. those slow attack envelopes are a sincere glass of fresh air compared to ableton, and the very vintage Emu samplers i recently nuked. they just didn't sound natural for that kind of thing. but this unit does. The ASR-X will sound different in the next guy's hands. i don't think anyone on the planet is using this unit for Ambient, but it works for me. the sound is very eyebrow raising.

Matt you really don't need all that gear. all you need is the CS and Ableton or an ASR-X.
You can do everything that emu sampler and roland phrase sampler and mpc can do easy.
you have too much stuff if you ask me. i used to think having 26 boxes all synced together was the most tits thing in the world with the lights off and watching all these blinking lights. until a few years back watching all these Youtube videos with all these rich asses having every box in the world making the most wackest sh*t ever. You simply do not need all that stuff to make albums. It's better to have just a couple machines or the "right" machines and get the most out of them than keep on buying stuff. GAS sucks!
speaking of GAS, i want that Europa sequencer so bad. It's on my list for 2011

Ensoniq sound is famously huge. wu tang is all ensoniq. Right? And I hear that you can load the samples while playing on an ensoniq?

Not too bad at all. You can override that turd ASR-X sequencer very easily with the Command Station
and just use the ASR-X as a desktop sampler/sound module. Great hardware sound in these units
when you just don't want to be around a laptop. Although, both I feel both are necessary as they
both have their strong points.
I have the compact flash mod done on my ASR-X and I highly recommend getting a zip drive if you

Maybe rich was the wrong word. I mean wasteful, actually. There are too many clowns on Youtube running around town with a ton of stuff midi'd up making really poor electronic music with a ton of gear. Used hardware is cheap these days. I'm not talking joker $100 stuff like chewed up Electribes and MC-303's and toy stuff like that. I'm talking Genoq Octopuss's and modulars, and cult analog synths, etc. Anyone can collect shelves of junk that's buggy and has seen the rounds. I'm not talking stuff like that. My point was that it's better to have two or 3 machines and just use those machines to make music with, verses constantly chasing gear for years on and end never make anything. There is a point where a person needs to say hey, I need to record some music here with what I got and the next box isn't going to help me or serve me any better if I don't stop this mad chase for kit all day long. That was my point. I'm guilty of this. Few people have the nuts to look in the mirror that way and actually take in account of this verses the mad gear rampage that most of us fall into. Some of the best albums ever recorded was made with very little and I don't think most people are aware of this (or care). Anyways, do what you guys want. You don't need my blessing or permission. I'm just sayin. :)

If people choose to spend there money on cars, are they wrong because they have more than 1, no.... Sorry guys, but do what you want and have fun at it. I've never thought about hooking the ASR-X up to the CS. I use my MPC 2500 to make everything with. I will try it out though, sounds fun. Take care all

I have rs7k in the corner never used but once. Bought as impulse because it came with 8 outs and a bunch of other stuff. Can't figure the work flow out by just playing and don't even want to start with the 4 inch thick instruction manual.
I hear this thing is ableton on a board... too bad I have no idea how to use either one.

I am mostly using the esi for drums because the roms on the cs sound thin, I use the sh-32 for switching up the beat with the drum arp, and for synthy stuff and some cs patches I made for wobbles and basslines. Kaoss pad for glitch effects. Mixer fx for verb (which sucks).
I don't need a studio full of gear but I use most of my stuff pretty regularly. I have only been doing this for under 2 years so I am still choosing my tools. I buy stuff for less than market and if I don't enjoy it I flip it for market just as fast. Recently I have been dumping gear. Sold alesis d4 I got free. Sold microkorg for what I paid into it.
I9;m very prolific right now as far as making patterns on the cs, but I haven't yet really made a 'song' or 'album'.This is because I have tons of ideas and moving to fast to record them or perfect them. That's adhd for sure. So far most of my best stuff is lost forever.
I record almost everything that I do record live in one take. Usually on 2 channels after a mixer. I try to program patterns on the fly. I try to keep everything new and fresh and freestyle.
Currently making space gangsta/glitchy wobbly crunkstep. I write a beat then I write raps and perform/record them live 5 minutes later in one take and currently if it sounds shoddy I don't give a shit as long as I'm having fun and the idea is sketched out. I'm not getting paid for this... yet.
Need to work on: song structure, recording and mixdown.
Need to collaborate more. With all types of artists. I learn new stuff from everything. I really like to incorporate new styles. I have been incorporating lots of reggae styles. I love the guitar riffs from beat garden perfect for reggae. I have also been trying to do tribal beats with weird triplets congas and hand drums.
1 year ago my friends said "u sound ok I guess but not my style". Now they think I sound good and invite me to play the party. So that's a step up for me.
Need to build my artist roster... my friends and I are trying to start a performance crew/label for fun.
Cs best purchase ever... no matter what I plug it into.

anyone using Chicken System's ASR-X tools? I know they're supposed to be coming out with a new version anytime now. I think it's worth the $60. They claim that there are hidden features in the unit that you can't pull out with the front panel. Interesting. I think it would be easier than menu burried in the menu like I am now.
I also wonder if anyone has built a Sysex map for the ASR-X for the Behringer or Mackie C4-Pro. That would be fierce.
tomorrow I'll be connecting the ASR-X to the CS's midi input and quantizing in real time mode to see how these two play in that configuration, and then twisting some CS knobs from there. a win-win
