i have another boring gear question for you guys See I'm looking for a sampler and I'm just so confused now. There's so many!
I planned on doing the waveform editing in soundforge and then doing some sort of scsi link to the sampler of which I hopped would have some effects and filters (good ones). Also I hoped the effects/filters could be controlled realtime either onboard or via controller.
The esi32's sounded like it might do the trick but i keep hearing how their effects/filters (via the expansion) aren't really thaaat good. I mean, only some are usuable (or have i confused this with another sampler?)
Anyway, so I looked into the Akai s2000 which seemed perfect -if it had the expansions. But then I stumbled upon the s3000/3200/3200XL/3000XL and now i'm just confused as to which ones do what.
Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated! I've always gotten help from you in the past hehehe..
pre-ps: I would like to grab this (used of course) around 500cdn which might be ridiculous, but the absolute ceiling is 1000cdn.
Thanks again!

BUT...
Do yourself a favor, look at a used Yamaha A3000... Dirt cheap, tons of memory, awesome effects, great filters (16 I think, or more). 2 step keymapping, sample parameters (filters, effects bus, midi channel, keymapping, etc) assigned per sample... meaning different parameters per sample on the same channel etc...
It's a killer best happy sampler for you to make a smile!!!

ic i c ic what you mean about that yamaha.
lemme ask you tho (cause i've been reading some stuff on harmony-central): what's up with the slow transfer? Isn't scsi supposed to be fast?

And I load whole new performances (samples, settings, etc) during my live set. Doesn't take but a few seconds...
