Elektron Musical Instruments

Vote for a Emax too. I own a EMAX 1 and it´s very nice for Lofi 
Samples - It gives you the original Lofi Effect which you get whith 
all that LOFI VST and Direct X Effects outthere... But don´t buy an 
Emax if you want to do "professional" Sampling. Besides that Emax 
getting expensive again since that kind of 12Bit Hype. But it´s still 
better then buying a SP12 for 1500 bugs. 

Heard the ASR-10 has a good sound, but never tried one. 
I owned a Yamaha A3000 and it´s very cheap these days... but the 
knobs sucks and i don´t liked programming on it..so i sold it.

I am also looking for a better Sampler to work with. Still have no 
clue. It should have some creative features for Soundsynthesis. 
Maybee a Kurzweil is a good one for that ... dunno

After all i think Samplers are not very creative at Soundprogramming -
 more or less it is always the same concept.  I wish Electron comes 
up with a creative Sampler one day !
