I just copped one tonight. I had one installed on my old machine and it was a necessary addition. Wish I would've kept it. You can almost use it like a synth. I used to make some crazy sounds with the eb16 back in the day.

People sleep on that card SO much. For an "in the box" solution" it's a must have...

Yeah, before I copped it a few years ago mad headz on here were saying that it was a piece of $h*t and not worth it. I went and copped it anyway and have no regrets. That card is amazing in my opinion once you know how to f*ck with the paramaters and $h*t.

a delay calculator is a must also, to get all your fx's in sync with the tempo.

No Doubt Mr Dog
synsonic is no joke

its great for live experimental stuff

I just got the EB-16 yesterday.
Yea.. it's alright. The verb is not that good, and the filter wont blow your mind. It wouldn't be my first choice in a recording, but I think it will be great for live. The distortion is pretty nice though.
Is there a manual dedicated to it?

I used to keep a calculator next to my EPS, for chopping large beats..
"lets see... 64,426 samples... devide by 8...slice at 8053, 16106...etc
Yea... using a calculator to make dope hip-hop.... um.. nerd alert.

I like the EB16, its definitely not as shit as ppl make out. I used to have a s3200xl sampler that had this same card, and now have it in my 2000xl - it gives you some interesting results, the distortion is decent and the modulation stuff like flange/chorus/phase shift works well on loops sometimes. Not worth spending alot of money on but nice to have.

That sums it up well. It's not bad, but not worth $350. either. :lol:
