Sampling my ass off.. (SMAO)
Well.. yesterday i sampled down all the singleshot drums i used in drum-loop as singleshot samples to the emu. And i must say that it was amazingly easy.. it all went out smooth.. i just had to push arm, play the sample, then click place.. then repeate the procedure foreach singleshot sample. Wahoo.. it was much much easier then first expected.
So now i have my first dnb kit 
. i added a cord from MidiD -> Glide.. that created some sick effects on the drum.. 
God 17. Mai, Hurra 
Slice a drum-loop
Well.. one night it came clear to me that drum-loop are made for slicing.. and it should be done.. My biggest problem is this.. i dont have any way of moving my samples from my pc to the sampler without using floppy disk or record the sample. I have done the last option.. but then I have to cut the sample manualy... which is still a bit beyond my skills on the e6400 ultra. But.. at least i have a mission to go... hopefully i will be able to show off some examples soon ... stay tuned!!! one more thing.. recycle is the perfect tool for slicing.. yea i know.. but i need to figure out how to move the result between my computer and sampler... ahhh the pain!!!! Comment please
Emu is a beast!!!
Well.. i have done som incredible!!.. i have sold my Nord Modular.. to get enough money to buy an Emu e6400 Ultra... what was i thinking???!!!
Selling this wonderfull red piece of hardware to get an outdated fan-noisy sampler..? Well to be honest.. i have a strong belive that a sampler is the ultimate tool for expression and it has infinity age of living... if i was a rich boy (la-la-la-la-la), i would never have sold my nord.. but i am not.. so i had to trade away one of my child....
A hardware sampler might not be the easiest to work with.. comparing to big software sampler.. but for me its about crafting.. feeling the tool.. get my back a bit soar... its a part of the road.
The emu sampler have some mighty filters..and every day i am starting to understand more.. still i have much to learn.. and my biggest down is that i have no scsi cdrom or pci slot for a scsi cable.. so i can't copy my drumsamples into the sampler... which leaves me to dumping mono samples over sysex OR recording.. at the moment i work with the last option. And it suits me fine.. but i would very much like to start building some drum-kit on the sampler.. so that i can work with the filter independant on the drumtrack.
After working some hours with a drum loop... i must say that thing sounds WONDERFULL!!! the filters.. the playback.. everything is just great... i welcome a new member for the family, while i cry over the loss of the little red one..
The emu i got is an E-mu e6400 Ultra with 128mb ram, 8 output, RFX-32 effect board exp. and a 15gb harddrive. Running EOS 4.61 at the moment because of the RFX-32 card. Upgrading the unit to 4.7 will break the RFX-32 card.. which leaves me into a dilemma.. I am still considering if i should care about the RFX-32 card.. or not.
Some good information about the last emu sampler line
