I am going to sample them into the ASR and possibly use the ASRs effects. Then process them through UAD effects and store them on my hard drive. Will it do anything meaniful to the sound? I guess we will see.

Wow.No job to go too Jah.Cocaine is a hell of a drug huh : ] True tho,its all about the sound and if it inspires you.ASR10 is not imo great for punchy drums tho.

I am not sure what a job has to do with this conversation...but I'll bite.

If I get compensation for a back injury I suffered (for playing full contact football), I won't work another day in my life outside of beating on drum machines and keyboards.....

Yer Trippin,
ASR-10 drumz can smack ridiculous...

+1

All the gear I've had in the past, ASR10 with no processing, drums hit the hardest, sample and play, no effects or anything, just hits harder.

Next would be my 2kxl, no drum processing, they just knock.

I love the sound of my asr but sampling into the 4k and sampling into the asr the asr came out light.Maybe it can smack sometimes but not by default imo.I find the sound interesting and reserved.Glossy even.it certainly does not punch out.AsR x did more so(it has a dry "twack" to it.And the EPS-my favourite
EDIT-ill give it another go with drum sampling when i get home(?)Love it for most things and wierd drums ect..Great envelopes..

Just sounds like me you have a lot of time on your hands for playing with drum hits.

Anyway give me a great machine that does not by default sound and feel like all my computer programes fell,sound generally and ill be on it.Like a dog on a rabbit.Im reserving my excitment.I have a reservation ticket

listen to some alchemist, nottz and jake one then come and tell me asr 10 dont smack for drums and bss.


im very much looking forward to the ren that thing is looking more and more convincing.

though i prolly wont cop as soon as it drops will give it at least 6 months for things to settle down.

but i think i'll be more likely to get and ipad and the fly that shit really impressed me and i can imagine that will be a godsend for use on the train to work. the way the record players comes up and u can sample ituens library that shit is killer but i wont be copping the control surface that come with it.

as the studio ima skip on that looks dope but i see that as more of a use on the tourbus then transfer the shit to the ren for mixdown when ur back in the proper studio.

ren will superseed my maschine but will keep maschine as backup but the shit has 3 dead pads and most of the pads are not as responsive as they were at first so the rens superior build quality is defo a welcome additon.

I do have plenty of time on my hands. I live in Tokyo...the economy is bad..it has been cold outside....beating on drum machines and staying warm is the logical choice.

Tell me if I am wrong.....but the sound of your computer programs will be as great or poor as your interface and the samples your computer programs are playing.

Akai, specifically Dan, talked about characteristics of legacy MPCs that thet are trying to caputure...such as the compression MPC 3000 has when you have too many sounds playing at once. Or the emphasis and de-emphasis of highs on certain instruments (I believe) on input/output of the MPC 60. He stated specifically, they had a huge focus on the sound character of these new MPCs.

Good.But im not into simulation.I want it to be a natural by product of the process.I dont want it to be governed by the imagination of Dan or anyone else.Give me the machines behaving badly everytime.Well see.

Ok then.Im just a guy sampling in my own time and thats my result.Im a big ensoniq fan from 15 years and cut my teeth on many of there products.Lived and breathed the eps and x and now have the 10 for over a year.But hey,im no supa star so......Got any of you own punchy drums from the ten to air?Im always ready to improve.Or tips as i sample into the mpc and ensonic with the same material,side by side.Jus did not find it dynamic.

The 3000 sound is just an emulation. Dan said that they took the schematics of the 3000 and implemented it into the software which in the end is an emulation.

my understanding is that it is a hardware emulation using circuit switching

Its an emulation of the MPC 60 and 3000. Its a combination of software and hardware according to the videos I have watched. Its an option that some people desire. You don't have to turn it on. I have yet to use the MPC 60 and Sp1200 emulations in Maschine. But I personally don't mind emulations. Without emulations, I wouldn't be able to attain the sound of a Neve or SSL board..or a Studer or Ampex tape analog tape. Through Universal Audio emulations, I can get close to that sound.

When I am done doing what I plan to do with some drums.....for good or bad, I wouldn't mind sharing them.

I think the asr-10 makes biggest kicks and snares I have ever heard, You gotta sample ( already good sounds ) then normalize then Boost on the asr, wow after that they hit so fu@kin hard, nothing like it. They crash alot with errors though.

Ill try that.

Absurdamente, solamente jah se excita, ya que sus putas ya no le ponen cachondo siquiera.

Im still very excited, but damn 4 more months, what happened to the May drop date.
