RE: Sherman FilterBank, worth it?
i also have a FB. its not for sale though
it _can_ make your drums more interesting, deffinitely. just bringing the signal thru it with not too much drive, makes drums more punchy and in your face, and when you start messing with filters and modulations god knows where you'll end up. on the other hand, its only mono, and its at its best when distortind stuff to hell and back, which you may or may not like. i also bought it to process my loops thru it (amongst other things), but have found other interesting ways of doing it with software in the meantime(which still doesnt make FB any less usefull). so, if you want to tweak your sounds in realtime, and you like distortion and gritt, then FB is good for you. on the other hand you may also get that sample CD first and see if that brings you anywhere before splashing out on a sherman.
