The return of ampfea.org ..

[Matt Seil]

Don't worry.  I jumped on the opportunity like a fat kid on the truffle 
shuffle!

After I started learning more about the A3k, it brought back memories of 
being a high school kid who only had an Alesis SR-16, staring at the 
synths and samplers in Musician's Friend catalog.

Nostalgia aside, it was a very good time to be alive for sampler 
development.  You had the A3K, then within a couple years, Akai S5k, 
EMU6400, with Roland dropping out to just do the XV-5080.

Supposedly the A3k's biggest pain was setting loop points because of the 
tiny display.  I don't think it can be any worse than doing the same 
thing on a Model:Samples.  (You're not supposed to use it as a phrase 
device but knob controls for sample start/end is too tempting.)

I will gladly help with testing.
