A small update
Well, stuff have happend lately. I haven't been too good on updating this blog.. but then.. who is reading this blog after all 
.
the Roland MC-909 have arrived in house. And I must say its a fun tool and instrument to work with.. making beats goes very easy.. and the sampling part, which is miles away from the emu, have some very nice features. The sample chopping feature is just a dream to work with.. it chops your sample into as many part you like and map it up to the pads on the mc.. thats something i have been dreaming for on the emu for long time 
.
The synth engine is a full blown fantom engine, which can be programmed in all details. The filters is typical roland.. nothing special.. but sounds good. btw.. if you are a mc 909 owner.. sign this petrition: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/rolandjp/petition.html
The last weekend during this easter, i have been making two realy fast tracks.. one for a fast intro for TG 08 (www.gathering.org), and another one for combined demo for TG 08. The combined demo gained a third place, which is the best place our demo group have gotten in that categorty.
on psy-works.net (one of my old domains), have some people from emusonacid.co.uk forum started a sharing site for old sample cd's that arnt in marked anymore. We don't want to have a warez profile, so we try make sure its not available in any webshop/stores.
Check it out on psy-works.net

Hey,
new track out.. this time its kind of chillout. I have been using the emu MUCH on this track.. so much that i have lost the overview!
i use the emu for:
Pads, leads, arps, "flute", drums and other stuff i dont know
to nail it i recorded the whole track to the emu and then exported the sample
I also used the rfx card on the emu for processing AU instrument from logic. (the piano, which is EXS24 with holy grail piano, converted from emu format)
Anyway.. enjoy!
Chillout up next…
Well.. after doing some breakbeat i needed to get back to the chillout style i so much love...
I am fare from finished, but i have gotten a start. I started out working up a pad patch on the emu, by layering the oscillators on my Novation Nova, then sample it down as a raw sample without filters or anything from the nova. two keys was sampled C3 and C4, then i just layered it on the emu, worked out the filters and cords to create a good lushy pad. adding a nice delay effect made it realy good.
Then i started with the drums. i have tons of singleshot drums on my computer which i am moving over to my emu... it takes a bit time with the zip, but when i have it on the hard drive, its rather easy to dial up the samples i need. Some filter works on the drums.. and layering.. i am running the kit on 3 parts using diffrent effects and filter settings.
Piano is holy grail on esx24, with filter and some modulators i worked up. then ran through the rfx for some ambience delay.
The chant voice is my own, with a slight tuning.
i am considering sample it down to the emu, then play it off like a sampler with the filter possibilities.
the cut is 2 min.. not very much.. but its a start
