RE: What do you think is the best sampler?
emax for me.. it's the difference between a vintage strat and some flashy generic nippon axe... i've heard all the new samplers, and they dont bite like an emax...if i want a synth, i'll buy a synth.. if i want a sampler, i'll buy a sampler.... sure, the new samplers are fucking amazing, they do the whole thing, but to me whilst it's an amazingly clean and glossy sound, in the end, it sounds like i'm listening to a high-end synth workstation ...
i like the emax cos it SOUNDS like a sampler - i want to HEAR that it is a sampler... i like that unadulterated ruffness and punch that knocks my teeth out at 40 yards... i WANT to hear alaising noise when i sample way down in the low K's.... no sampler in the big-bucks bunch will ever get that sound... period!
also, i buy a digital synth to do digital stuff, and an analog to do analog etc.... my 2c worth :-)
