<p>Funny you say that! I bought a blackbox mainly to decrease my
DAW-dependence. I've just started working with it--there's some
synth features I find myself desiring--but setting up loops and
recording playing at the speeds that the blackbox allows me to
work at makes it feel much more like when it was just me with my
lonely MC-505 back in '98. Everything is instant feedback. <br>
</p>
<p>My productions took a huge hit in the move to DAW based
recording. Instead of 6-7 song ideas in an evening, that became
per week. It remains to be seen how this translates. 6-7 song
ideas per evening MIGHT result in 1 finished recording in the
end. It was 1:1 with the DAW. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm still learning the blackbox, there's some synth-like features
I'm missing, but overall its very organic and flexible. [For me
the biggest pain in the butt is the lack of odd time signatures in
song mode. 4/4 is all you get.] <br>

No, I’m going to say Synthstrom Deluge or 1010music Blackbox, both
of which are very, very cool instruments worth the effort. As
samplers go, both are superlative.

<div>In fact I think I’ll get rid of everything and just focus on
the Deluge. Just kidding, almost really though…<br>

<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span

<div class="PlainText">So I just watched a video by
Espen Kraft about his Akai S700 sampler <br>
that he bought when Reagan was still president.
Sampling at a <br>
ridiculously low sampling rate of like 6.3 kHz, it
sounded remarkably <br>
good. Also, Paolo "SynthMania" had a video about
sampling CDs that I <br>
found enlightening.<br>
<br>
Now I've always been dismissive of samplers,
associating them with "ah <br>
yeah!" and orchestra hit samples, in the worst of
1990s dance music, but <br>
when you think about it, they're just synths with
very flexible <br>
oscillators – provided, of course, that the rest
of the synthesis engine <br>
is up to snuff.<br>
<br>
Now Jay is going to say Yamaha A4000/A5000, and
those have the advantage <br>
of using IDE drives. But what hardware samplers
would you say are <br>
musically interesting?<br>
<br>
Hey, the 20 year anniversary is coming up, as is
my birthday, and <br>
Christmas... 🙂<br>
