Hi all, well after a week of sitting at my desk whilst pretending to do my work whilst youtubing and googling like mad, I am starting to get an idea of what I might be looking for, the Roland Fantom XR loks super tastey I have heard the samples which sound great then i have also seen someone load in samples to create their own presets via compactflash, which agian is a method and interface i like.........then you have the fact its upgradable. what are peoples feelings on the unit? any one got one...or has anyone got new advice for stuff i should be hearing and trying now you know what im looking for? I looked at the proteus stuff and really liked the Phatt and Techno racks.something to keep one eye out for as i have seen a lot of rack stuff in local second hand stores but have ignored them as not for me up to now. cheers Phill > From: benoitruelle@yahoo.fr > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Re: Taking VSTs out on the road > Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:12:10 +0100 > > If really sampled sounds is important then waldorf blofeld or clavia > nordwave (+expensive) are solutions too. > At least you still have some synthesis power when needed which might not be > the case whith a sp555 for instance. > The blofeld seems a bargain but I haven't tried it yet. > > Ben. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rainer Straschill" <moinsound@googlemail.com> > To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> > Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 5:49 PM > Subject: AW: Taking VSTs out on the road > > > > so whats would you be looking at now if you had a budget of £400 - $600 go > ebaying for old stuff or look at something like the korg microsampler? > > So that's a budget of $600-$660 ;)?
