So I have a mpc 2000XL as my sequencer and a s3000 in the midi out 1.
I'd like to add a last sampler to my rig.
Something under 500$ USD if possible.
I found a ASR 10 rackmount for 450$ USD at TheSoniq but it seems like the guy wont answer my mail and when I called him twice he made it almost clear that I was disturbing/bugging him and last time I called him he told me the sampler was missing a rackmount ear so he had to look for it in the back of his store and didnt have time for that ( you see what I mean....a serious men ( Sorry, whoever you are, I was really going to buy your machine )
Anyways, rant over and long story short, I want to get a 3rd sampler for midi out 2 on my mpc 2000xl.
I'm not into the grain of the s950/mpc60.
I'd like something ''cleaner''.
I love the snap of my 2000xl.
I also love the ''thump'' of my s3000.
I'd like to add something to compliment.
Something as clean as my s3000 at least......nothing grainy.
I dont run my inputs hot, I personally dont like the result.
I do transfer my sound through analog inputs because I love the sound it gives compared to the digital transfer.
Is there something at E-MU or Ensoniq ( or another akai if there's something not too sterile or too grainy )that is sub 500$ USD that would give me a warm clean sound with at least the same amount of ''grain'' as my 2kxl or less ?
Thanks for the advice.
EDIT: Just want to make something clear. I dont need a lot of sampling time or editing features other then chopping and maybe basic filtering ( a la 2KXL HPF, nothing more). So in fact I guess I'm asking, is the old EPS is a clean device ...or any other hardware that you could think of in fact.
