RE: easy question
I don't know about better, just differant I guess. The filters are non alaising and are very creamy and clean. The a3000 has a harsher alaising sound to it. So for acoustic instrument reproduction the emu is much better. The ananlog smaples sound wet and gurgle like analogs Should. I think emu did a great job on the filters over any other sampler. they sound very much like the curtis filters on my mks-80, wet bubbly and clean without the alaising that you here on juno's and other analogs. The alaising on the akai and yamaha can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you want. The patches are easier to come by and it supports akai libraries as well. It is the same as the e6400 ultra minus the 24bit file support, beat munging , and the rfx support. It can be upgraded to the latest os for $80. If you have your heart set on an a3000, then should get it. I don't know enough about them.I have heard audio demos, that is it. But my sampler is a damn fine sampler and extremely powerful, as are all the EIV samplers, and seting up presets is pretty straight forward. Also, my sa,mpler has an onboard 48 track sequecer.I didn't think the a3000 has a sequencer but i may be wrong. It has never been out of my room since I bought it two years ago.
