I had the padkontrol once and it was great, and then I switched over to the nanopad and never looked back... either of the korg ones will do you good.

So listening to JMP's demos has really made me crave an emulator II... or its sample library.

Can anyone point me to a site that has its samples available for free possibly? (hopefully in Akai MPC or Kontakt format!)

Thanks guys!

...unless you're actually going to manipulate the wavetables. If you only ever want to use the standard wavetables or use it as a sort of glorified virtual analogue then it's really easy. I agree that it's a VERY f**k simple instrument to use if you don't actually scratch the surface and use any of...

They don't sound better, just different. The ms2000's thinness is one of the things I liked about it.

never going to happen

different strokes... Q is a VA, XT is a wavetable synth, the Q lacks all of the XT wavetables

I don't get it, why wouldn't anyone get the Blofeld over the XT? Seems like it would have more features and combines the XT and Q somewhat in one. I like the MW1 the best out of all of them, but that's just my nature. Analog hybrid goodness. the blofeld lacks the wave envelopes of the XT, and it al...

I have the microWave XT (shadow edition). I love the sound but i don't like the way the controls are laid out. It feels like they suddenly, after designing the microWave 2 decided that "uh.. oh yea we need lotsa knobs too" without putting much thought into it. The function of all the knobs are dupl...

The quest for dirty self oscillating delay sounds commenceth! I can only get one of these, so my biggest questions are: What is the dirtiest sounding between the MF104z, RE201, and RE501? And I mean DIRTY. I want this to totally f**k with whatever I put through it and color it with its signature sou...

well then i'm wrong

regardless I still wouldn't recommend it over an ESQ1/sq80 or microwave or k3.

nope, I'm not wrong. one filter per voice just like the poly 800. It used to audibly glitch the filter envelope if I played a certain way (retriggering at the wrong times, especially with the arpeggiator, because there was only ONE filter). Try turning on the arp with a pad sound (or long decaying s...

what are your thoughts on: keyboards: Ensoniq ESQ-1 Ensoniq SQ-80 Kawai K3 Korg DW-6000 Korg DW-8000 racks: Ensoniq ESQ-m Kawai K3m Korg EX-8000 Waldorf Microwave (not sure if this is comparibly lower priced) okay the ones I've had experience with: DW8000 - used to own one. I thought it's sound was...

I would kill for an MS50 to go with my ms20

THIS post on waveformless got me thinking about drum sounds and sampling, and when are things too much. 1700 drum sounds? I use the stock battery 3 sounds, ultrabeat, and the waldorf attack for most of my drum sounds (and occasional drums from my synths) and I often find I have too many samples to ...

Hey guys, got a few questions about external HD's. My current recording setup is a black macbook, 2.16 ghz, 80 gig HDD, 2 gigs of ram, running logic 8. I record straight to the drive on the computer, but I'm running out of space fast, and I'm wondering if recording straight to an external HDD is a b...
