Emax

I have still only used my Emax with factory disks, but I will for sure try to explore the drum (and other sound) sampling possibilities.

For now my favorite sampler to use quick and with nice artefact is the Akai s-612. Its quick to sample and when I have a melody or bass, I usually throw in a sound there and let that play the part. (No saving possibilities yet thou, as my QD-drive is kaputt.. surprise, surprise..)

And yes - its always nice to here how people work with their machines! Thansk for charing

Hey guys,

Since I've never come across a topic like this on the Emax group, thought we could talk about drum sampling techniques used for processing on the Emax.

I tend to like sampling my drum shots an octave higher, then pitching them down an octave once inside the Emax. This really brings out that "ring" artifact similar to the SP1200. I found that, only pitching them samples up 6 semitones wasn't enough to get that sound like the SP1200.

I tend to like samples mostly at 31kHz and 28kHz. Some hits really punch at 20kHz though, the ring can be really aggressive at that sample rate when pitching the hits up an octave.

I can go into more detail on how I do batch processing, if there's an interest.

Anyone else have a favorite sample technique?

I really was trying to get similar drums to:
I know Wolfgang Gartner has talked about using the Emax for his drum processing in older interviews.
