What are people using WITH your xx-7?

What are people using WITH your xx-7?

2002-05-11 by drj0

I'm looking for a good sampler/seq to compine with my xx-7.  I've 
been tossing around the RS-7000, the MPC2000xl and a couple other 
ones.  Any input???  I'm a Drm & bass/ hip hop producer.   Haven't 
gotten my xx-7 yet, but i got my tax return today so... i'm odering 
one asap

i like the yamaha A series (got an A3000 myself... good filters, fat 
sound, excellent fx)
why go for another hardware seq if you're going to buy the xx7? it's 
by far the easiest to use i.m.o.... if you want more sophisticated 
sequencing, go for cubase or logic and dump your songs/patterns into 
the xx7 for live use (at least that's how i'm doing it....)

best of luck,

peter.

Hi all,
Yes I made the same mistake 8 months ago : I bought an Su700 wich has an easy sequencer but I also own an RM1x and now an A5000. I want to sell my SU700 cause I have to much hard sequencers.(is someone interested ???)..and some soft ...So prefer to buy a "rack sampler" (now A5000 is very cheap cause the production is stopped).
Hope it helps...

For most sequencing duties you should be fine with the XL-7 MP-7.  After that
usually it's a matter of drum hits, so since I do basically the same thing, I
would recomend the Korg ES-1 sampler... ;)

2002-05-11 by drj0

I'm starting to think you're all right on this.  I was planning on 
getting the MPC2000xl - then i figured this sampler is starting to 
become out dated.  Then i considered the RS7000.  I really need 
somthing that does a great job slicing up drum breaks, as I use them 
a lot.  And quite honestly, my Korg ES-1 SUCKS at it.  I dispise 
that machine.  I also need somthing that can do a good job with long 
vocal samples...

WHen I ran 2 mmt-8's (8 track sequencers) i rarely ran out of 
channels.  So I think that a stand alone sampler will do just 
wonderfully.  Now what to get?  My first thougt is the A5000/A4000.  
But I also have fantasies for the KORG TRITON RACK

Any ideas on those two products?

Ah the deal with the ES-1 is you have to get BeatSlicer or Recycle or the like
and the smartcard reader for the PC.  Then you dump the samples into the ES-1
and use the midi timing from Cubase or Cakewalk or Fruity or whatever to put the
beats into it if you really want to.  Definately into the XL-7. I've no
compalints

Re: What are people using WITH your xx-7?

2002-05-13 by mikexl7

Just thought I would throw my two cents in on this one.  I have been 
using the E5000 for a couple of years now and i love it.  I do have 
it loaded up with a 10 gig drive and a 128Mb of ram mind you.  The 
sound is very warm and the features for setting up programs is very 
nice and bug free.  I think if you wanted to blow your head up with 
a sampler you may want a EMU with the FX upgrade.  I have never 
heard a bum review on the fx expansion, Mind you it is alot of 
cash.  I have also heard alot of good things about the yamaha 
samplers but have never used one so dont know first hand.

The way i see it is kinda like this.  EMU where the people that 
invented the sampler.  So why would you buy a sampler from a company 
that makes motercyeles?  I used akai for a long time and when I went 
to a EMU it was instant love.  I would recomend buying a sampler 
from a company that make instraments rather than toys motercycles 
and diskmans.

This is all just my opinion but hope it is worth something to you.

Best reguards and good luck.

Mike goodwin

Depends on how much you want to spend.  Less than a grand, I'd say got 
with the Korg ES-1, more than grand, go with the Akai MPC200OXL.

what about the Roland SP-505 - it's only 8 voice, but it does take up to 128Mb Smart Media? The ES-1 only samples at 32Khz which is a bit lame in this day and age.

If you're going to go with the Sp505, might as well try and find a used 
sp808 for the same price.  The sp808 is a very cool sampler IMO, one of 
the few pieces of hardware I miss.  Unlike my S3000XL ;)  Plus, if you 
find an older (black) sp808, it can be upgraded to the same specs and 
features as the EX version for cheap!

In fact just looking at the demos on the roland website:
it will do loop slicing, loop tempo matching (ie. layer loops on each other and it will match the tempo), and has optical/coaxial inputs, 44.1khz sampling, 4 track sequencer, graphical lcd with wave editing and 26 fx... and costs about the same as the Korg.
sounds pretty good to me!

I also use an old EMU eIV that has been upgraded to
an e6400. I'm still figuring out the machine but I
have noticed that the interface between the two is
incredible. Having all the knob control of the XL-7,
and using it to tweak the sounds I sample with the
e6400 has openend up my whole sound. These two
machines alone could cover all of my plates and
replace most of my gear. The only thing that could be
better would be to ULTRACIZE that old e6400 if I could
afford it.

I might be biassed, But the E-MU E-5000 should on your list. Check with
Sweetwater music, their running some great deals. Plus you get the cool
DSP tool (inside the E5000) Called Beat Munging, that lets you slice and
dice, auto loop and more. When it comes to hardware sampling, were the
guys. The sound library is huge, and if your in the mood you can update
your E-5000 with the extra cool and powerful RFX32 card that allows you
to run 16 effects at once, with effects like Pattern based tempo delays,
synched flangers and ring mods., the Muxter which allows you to auto
gate up 4 parts at once (like a slicer) and a scalable Vocoder (13 - 52
bands). Sorry guys, but all this sample talk and nobody talking about
one of the companies that has dominated in this category since the
beginning forced me to get on my soap box. Lastly, In the fall the
Software Emulator 5 will arrive and allow you to share files back and
forth between it and the E5000. If your looking at a rack sampler, go
with the one that is still supported not discontinued.

Re: [xl7] Re: What are people using WITH your xx-7?

Im new to the group but I own many Emu/Ensoniq
products.  SP1200, ASR 10 , FIZMO, E5000, and MP7.  I
am nearly ready to sell my E5000 for one reason and
one reason only!!!

Is it me or can you not do realtime sample editing
while the sequencer is running?  Going into sample
edit mode disables the presets playing within the
sequence.  With my ASR 10, I can tweak a sample
perfectly to the beat while running.  I just couldnt
believe this when I first got the E5000 but sadly it
seems true.  Please tell me Im a novice and have just
overlooked this function.  If not, the E5000 (with all
its impressive features) gets the thumbs down.

Re: What are people using WITH your xx-7?

2002-05-13 by ezra_gold

I am using a Kurzwiel K2000RS. OK, so not many people think of this 
as a good rack sampler, but it is. Recycle will load loops over SMDI 
and you can process them using the full power of the VAST synth 
engine. It is also easy to cotrol all aspects of the sound from the 
xx-7 knob bank. Cheap SIMMs from your old mac can be used to expand 
it, and it has SCSI to store samples and patches. The best part is 
the synth engine though. It is much more powerfull than any other 
sampler on the market. Just make sure you get OS version 3. You will 
even get a (much less capable) backup sequencer "just in case."

For rebuilding and shuffling the samples, I like to use the xx-7 
arpegiators. I have a bunch of custom arpegios built for recycle 
sliced loops. I start them from the trigger keys. That way you can 
keep the samples running even while you switch patterns. The loops 
even play in perfect sync with the song! This a killer misuse of good 
features... keep it up emu.

Sean, 

Thanks for your input on the E-5000.  I have wondered about these, 
but haven't seen/played with them.  I work for a E-mu Dealer in 
Madison, WI.  I will definatly see if i can't check it out.  though, 
that's half the problem with me making my decision, i can't check 
htem out.
