Early documentary about Sampling ..

[foRUMS 4 punkdISCO]

Hi Kai

 

NO, the ASRX does not have transwaves.  I have never heard of these before
but they do indeed sound fierce!!

The ASR10 is now on my list :(

internally) into either one for a decent price...

 

If you have SCSI, you are sorted!!!  I just ordered this internal CF
interface for my ASRX:

Will only work with 2Gb CFs or below but, that is still pretty good..  Being
SCSI, the load times is super fast compared to the floppy drives.

 

Unless you have no alternative, definitely avoid non-SCSI interfaces.  I put
a HxC CF drive in my Emulator II and whilst this is the Emulator's best
storage choice, being a "floppy emulator" it emulates everything including
the slow load times (45ish  seconds!).

 

Let me know if you need a hand finding a CF drive for the ASR and I have
spent loads of time researching this stuff..

You into sampling, Jay (and all)?

 

 

Yes, absolutely! I don't know if the ASR-X has the same engine as the
ASR-10, but the transwave-sampling as Ensoniq calls it, is fierce! it's
almost granular and really fun to use (despite the lack of a graphical
display). 

 

This and the MPC-2000 have changed me and my music tremendously. 

 

If only I could get a modern storage medium connected (preferably
internally) into either one for a decent price...

 

I guess from where I'm coming from, I should really get an octatrack at some
point. But it just feels too much like a computer in disguise...;)
