Emax

If you want extra noise just make sure you don't sample at the optimum level.
That way you don't make use of the best signal/noise ratio, i.e. you sample
with less bits !

Don't forget you can also use the analogue processing section 
to "get rid of" and "add to" noise.

Generally speaking, the more you move away (downwards) from the original Sample key,
the more grainy it becomes.

  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...
