The possibilities are endless with the right programmer!
That's nice.

I was asking about them on here and the Guy from SCSI4SAMPLERS.COM contacted me, It looks like the site has closed down, but he still sorted me out.

I was quite dear, but worth every penny, it works a dream.

Can I truncate samples on the 60 like this

set start and end points then delete outside those points by just using a truncate option, or do I need to cut off the begining and end in two chops ?

Hope that makes sence, I'm still finding my way arround the 60.
I have had a few hours with the machine and the manual, but ended up just banging out a beat, a listening to a 4 bar loop of 2 hrs. I'm at work so can't check at the moment.

I try not to do it, but I was just enjoying the sound of the 60.
I just had some more time on it and worked out the truncation thing. I tracked out to PT, it sounds lush.

The 60 is pure MPC porn. That thing is so nasty, you can just bang a 2-bar loop endless. Same addiction as the SP.

When I got to this guys house to pick up my 60 he fired up his sp1200 and played me a beat, I almost cried, it sounded like jesus beatboxing in my ears.

No probs on the quote kebzer, just doing my job.

I would really like a SP, but they are about £1000 over here.
I'm selling one of my 60's soon, so mayby that can go towards one :D but I don't have any room for one.

MAKE ROOM FOR IT! It's just about the dopest machine in the world. I actually thought it would be a bit hard to work on it before I got it, but it's even faster and easier to work with than any other piece I have used, and the sound kills everything I have heard on this planet. Every cheap a$$ drum gets turned into a big phatt hard kicking Hip Hop drum. It's easy to sound good on that one. The people saying they can get the same sound with their computer with plugins and whatever are straight up liars.

The sound is heavenly indeed, and I should know, because I'm a believer 8)

Any piece of gear almost making you cry should be worth the £ To me the Rhodes piano is one of the most beautiful sounds on earth, and that one costs a whole lot, but it's really worth it. I'll rather be poor + satisfied and happy

SP1200 beats with a soulful rhodes sample is what's hitting deep in my heart and soul + puts cream in my pants.
