good question ...
well i think the EXS24 is a Fantastic tool for read samples, and do the most
basic fonction as samples assign... a filter and play souns from AKAI
Disc... ok...can it be compare to a hardware,...hummm in a certain sense
yes, but some Hardwares samplers gots specials features as autoSampling
(Yamaha) , a kind of Recycle fonction (Yamaha), an hardware can be more
usefull on stage too...
it really depends u'r need !??? do u want to create sounds like a
soundDesigner, do u compose, do u orchestrat, are u a professionnal who want
to use a special Sound librairy ? the EXS24 can be very usefull and it is
very cheap ($) for what it can do, but u cannot do everything with it...
i own myself 7/ Roland S760 and 4/ S1000 AKAI ....i bought the exs :o) i
turn on only 1 AKAI sometimes, but i use those S760 ...
for many reasons: resampling, volume on the Bender,Sound Librairy,
Cut&Splice fonctions etc...(a lot features that the EXS doesn't do)...one
day maybe !
It's true that i bought those Samplers few years ago ! would i have bought
those Samplers today.....hummmm maybe 1 or 2 "S760" that's all !

Igor: a patent review of gear, but I think you've missed out on a lot of the
EXS's functions. Go into edit mode and click on the "E" in an individual
sample section. You can do far more in this sample edit screen (normalize,
cut, splice, process, trim, et cetera) than I could ever do on a hardware
sampler (or at least do nearly as quick). You can even set up your own
custom keyboard shortcuts for these functions. If your missing out on this,
your missing a great deal of power in the EXS24. For me the EXS easily
replaces hardware, but only in a studio environment, not in a live
one--unless you think it's easy to drag around a Tower with a Hammerfall
card I/O in order to get the rock-solid live MIDI timing you don't enjoy
with other I/Os, like my VX Pocket on my PowerBook for instance. Works great
for all my studio work!
