Re: Noizey emax!

2007-10-31 by manicpeter

Hi there,

don't get me wrong but isnt the point of the Emax that it is noisey
and grimey?

I sample drums into the emax and then back into my MPC XL. In the mpc
i can set the decays of the drums short to get rid of any noise IF i
want to. Usually i just add more noise (from an 'empty' sample) to
mark the noise though. The emax beats the shit out of any akai
sampling, including the mpc60 and is the closest i can find to an
sp1200. just awesome...

Peter
