if there are none korg can get f**k, i don't even care if it has the horrible filters from the MK it needs filters.

Some unofficial specs found at Gearjunkies: Further Info on the microSAMPLER: - 37 key (Natural Touch Mini Keyboard with Velocity) - 8 user bank (A ~ H), 1 ROM bank - 5 types of sampling (LOOP / ONE SHOT / GATE / AUTO NEXT / KEY GATE) - Sample rates of 48kHz - 24kHz - 12kHz - 6kHz - Approximately 1...

I'm a trumpet player, synth-addict. My first synth was a Korg X3 that I bought in the early 90's. You know, that thing still has some pretty good sounds on it. I am looking to get something fun again in the way of a keyboard synth. It seems the old stuff is really being sold pretty cheaply. What's ...

this is seriously the f**k ugliest sampler EVAR.

i'm hearing a lot about the computer editor, and it seems you can't edit everything from the front panel.

still no proper pitched-sample playing,
still no amp envelopes,
still only single track sequencing,
still no velocity sensitive pads.

Damn.. i think i will search in ebay....

it would be much cheaper to just buy a 606 than to buy a clone. they go for 300 US or so down here

i would go the extra mile for the 1000 then JJ it, you'll get tons more

you said you more or less wanted to use it like a ROMpler, so a fairly advanced sampler is in order.

i'd say emulator 3 or 4

Yes, Elektron, Roland and Korg, interested in what they can come up with that'll be different to what they've already got and not just a re-invention ie. Microkorg to Microkorg XL =D> Anyway, yes a synth addict here, all the stuff from my sig save the RS-70 and V-Synth were all bought this year. Th...

what music do you make?, what are the synth sounds you are after?

very different beasts.

more info on use needed.

but the MC-202 has the amazing "much smaller sliders" feature, can't forget that!

I was showing my Electribe ES-1 to a freind recently. This friend plays keyboards and is very familiar with the concept of sampling because that's the kind of instrumetns he plays (Roland Fantom, Nord Electro etc.). I told him that the Electribe holds samples and that I had sampled a few drum machi...

i wouldn't mind finding out what he really meant about the ob-8 sounding "too perfect" there seems to be debate over that one/
