EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I'm currently using two RME ADI-8 pro adda's thru adat 
lightpipes. The RME convertors sound fantastic and on my desk 
are another ADI-8 and the new Hammerfall card (the one with 
the dsp and midi) to check out. As soon as I've got them installed 
and tested I'll get back. 

The Hammerfall is to my knowledge the only Logic-compatible 
card to deliver a max of 24 (24!) analogue ins-outs over adat 
lightpipes. And that's only one card, imagine what possibilities 
you'd gain by adding another one....
(I used to use racks full of samplers and synthmodules and 
although they're still lying around in the studio, I'm pretty 
confident they'll leave the building one day soon...:))

I'd say go for the hammerfall, not the 828, what I've heared (and 
read here) it's not too stable...
Best,
O.
