originally a 1000 owner. i recently got my hands on a 3k for long term borrowing. i've heard the 3k has fatter sound than 2k. is this because on converters on the way in or the way out?

basically, if i use disks made on 2k in my 3k (this is possible, correct?), will it be the same fat sound or do i need to sample everything into this bad boy to get the desired chunkyness.

any feedback & opinions appreciated in advance.

The sampler is better on the 3000 that's why it sounds the way it does.

I don't think your whole beat will load up cause they are not backwards compatible.

I have my suspicions about the 3k; is it actually playing at the sample rate of the sample or is the internal sample rate lower? I hear artefacts of blatant downsampling - not that I'm complaining, it sounds fine.

"basically, if i use disks made on 2k in my 3k (this is possible, correct?), will it be the same fat sound or do i need to sample everything into this bad boy to get the desired chunkyness."

This is the most brilliant quote out of this whole stupid post.
