Samples sound different (better imo) when recorded (playback) rather than when just ran through the eps. You'll jave to sample in it. The reason mine is sitting on the side and going for sale very soon is because of its size and i have other samplers i prefere better

If you can fit it in your workflow its really nice tho

Just before selling mine I realised the input can be very nicely overdriven and some lovely distortion added.Like real distortion and not this phoney stuff there using on recent products.

Just like any other device with a analog preamp stange to monitor out stage. (any cassette recorder for example or the channel of a mixer or.....)

peace

But the eps does something special.I own a ton of analog/digital gear and it does not all distort the same.But yeah,i get your point
