Re: clipping

2005-08-26 by secontek

Well,yes,i have a 2.0.No,of curse I didn't buy the evo for the 
presets,c'mon.I love to program my own patches,this came from 
reaktor and nord modular,but as some of the people agreed,it's very 
strange to ship it like that.I love the distorted sounds of evo,I 
wasn't talking about them!I was talking about the clipped ones,y'now?
like,a pad,nice one,which is like 
wwwWWWOOOOOoooOOOMMppprrstzttprpprprprp.Lol,i know,but,what good is 
that clipping at the ending of a pretty sweet pad?And there are a 
lot of them.Really,sometimes i get tired of ever programming my own 
patches,so it will be nice not to have to adjust volumes and stuff 
every time i want to relax myself with a drone,a pad..

Anyway,thanx guys,i will definitelly buy the 3.0 chip.
cheers
