which E-mu sampler?

which E-mu sampler?

2003-01-25 by studio_6512 <studio6512@cinense.org>

Ok, now I am exploring which E-mu sampler would compliment the MP-
7.  I want to compare it to the Akai MPC2000xl, in price and 
features.  thanks for the help.

One of the great thing about the E-Mu samplers is you can buy the
lower level 
Ultra  6400 and upgrade it as your needs and bank account allows to
turn it 
into the big Ultra or Platinum versions. These are the same core
components 
with different options installed and libraries on CD ROM that are or are not 
included. I would suggest buying the 6400 if your tight on $$$,
and your 
own IDE hard drive as it's typically cheaper than buy the drive from
the factory 
.  You may need a kit from e-mu to install the drive, I'm not sure if cable and 
mounting hardware come with it.
You WILL need sone sort of storage device. E-Mu has some
refurbished 
samplers on their web site at great prices. Also, here's a link to
e-mu's 
comparrison chart showing the features of the different models.

Thanks.  I could not help but notice that there is not a sequencer built in
this unit.  If I use my MP-7 would this integrate nicely with it.  I guess
it would be cheaper to get this instead of the Akai MPC2000xl.  Looks like I
will be cutting my cost in half by going with this sampler.

The Ultra series has a basic 48 track sequencer.  It is a linear sequencer
with only basic editing but it works reasonably well.

Also regarding Emu models, the E5000 is not as expandable as an Ultra E6400
but it can have its memory and it can have an internal ATA or SCSI hard
drive added fairly easily.  So unless you are after some of the more
advanced options, or the polyphony upgrade the E5000 will do the job.

You might want to check out Emu's website because they have some great deals
on new, refurbished Ultra-series samplers, including E5000's for $695.

The Emu hard drive mounting kit is a complete rip off,its basically
4 screws,ide cable(or scsi) and a power cable (non standard).
All these components can be bought from a computer store for
a fraction of the price.However I believe a standard computer
IDE drive power cable may need to have 2 of its pins/wires
swapped around.

I lurve my E6400 it kicks ass!!
craps over soft samplers for sound quality, filters, transposition
etc:))
