I've already got a AN1X (haven't figured it out yet) but have heard the sounds on the CS1X and like what I hear, so, is it worth me investing in a CS1X or a DB50XG daughterboard?

Alternatively, is there an outboard module version of the CS1X? MU90R? SY700XG?

Any ideas?

Do you get the 'sub-bass' preset on the DB50XG?

Does the MU10 have all the sounds of the XG then?

Cept I dont think that the MU10 has the ability to load the qs300 voices like teh db50 and sw60 can. This was a feature I think specificaly programed into these two cards. Maybe Im wrong, but the XG-Gold software (the program that makes it easy to load these) says that only the db50 and sw60 do this. And these qs300 voices are the ones with the cool patches like "sub bass" and "rave organ" and "909 Kit" (ie.. dance oriented stuff).

I found the db50 in a local computer store for $80... but I also found it at a online computer store for I think $90. This is the site: www.computability.com
The sw60 was quite a bit more I think... close to $200.

I'd only recommend a CS1x to a newcomer with no other kit, who needs a keyboard, and who has a PC for sequencing... but be warned: the basses are crap. I'd say buy a sampler next, especially if you're considering the planet phatt, or Orbit...you may as well buy an ESI32 or S2000 for the price...They're basically an offshoot of Emu's sampling technology repackaged in an easier to use but more limiting (and lucrative) form

ROuge... the qs300 voices we're talkin about are the preset 4 element voices from the Yamaha qs300... which is a workstation thats recently been discontinued. Exact copies of these voices can be dumped into the db50xg with the help of a program like XG-Gold, which takes care of the sysex messages needed to do the sample dump. Yup... there's actually RAM on the db50xg that can be used for samples from teh qs300.

Rouge.....About that arpeggiator. Check out seq-303 with the DB50. Kilo's got a RA demo of it in the synths and modules section if you haven't heard it already. You'll be surprised!
