thing is, the cost is going to be an important factor so MPC's and the like are out of the equation...my opinion, this looks bad


anyone with any experience with the ES-1...whats that like?

it looks ok, i must say i have used the older electribe stuff and wasnt that impressed, if i was going to get a sampler it deffinately would be that one, ive got an emu and its pretty good, but that korg doesnt hold more than 400 samples which is pretty crap, it seems a bit of a toy, but i found that with a lot of there recent stuff, i do also prefer rack mount equiptment cos you can keep it all out the way, but i should have a play before questioning , its £550 too much forme http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/moreinfo.asp?ID=2275 (http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/moreinfo.asp?ID=2275)would rather buy an emu5000 for that..

humm...yeah, aint that the EMX? think thats a little different the ESX? I dunno mate.....about these Emu's then...where can i get one of those for a similar sort of price?

i reckon thats the name for the Uk cos apart from the colour it looks the same, even has the vacum tubes!! not sure mate, and emu's second hand you wanna check mate:smiley4: try ebayEdited by: Tobes

did you find one yet? i must have missed this post originally but i
used one of these a few months ago, they are great fun and really good
but they have a very housey sound and feel to them.

Hi Rich.....yeah man, this thread is a little old! No worries though...i eventually managed to have a play on the SX version in a music store and agreed....great fun to use! Decided against it in the end tho cus if i remember correctly they were around the £500 when they were released.....a little too expensive in my opinion for what was on offer.


Think i was just going through a period of wanting more gear.....you know whats it like....a bloody itch that never seems to dissapear!


stuck with the software in the end and distracted myself with the ESX and Kontakt http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley36.gif
