RE: [elektron] OK... Help to make a choice between Rack Attack and MachineDrum

2002-09-30 by RENGA Moreno

Thanks but i have Q... and the synthesis of the Q is much more devlopped
than the one of Rack Attack...
And allows me of course analog drum sounds!!!
It was more for the acoustic sounds... which the Rack Attack and the Q can
immitate in the limits of the analog synthesis (Typic Electro Analog sound).
I had also the idea to buy a hardware sampler and use acoustic samples...
and transform them if i need...
Now i am hesitating between several sampler... Lol...
Hesitating between EMU E6400, Yamaha A5000 and other.
Any suggestions??? I will realy appreciate!!!
Thanks

Moreno
