Emax

i still have an old powerbook 145 in my basement somehwere :) 

would that work with alchemy ? t would be a pretty neat idea to edit the samples visually. i 
found that chopping short percussive stuff like basedrums is not easy without graphical 
editing :)... (too spoiled by the modern stuff hehe...)
