Re: Sound rom prices

2003-07-13 by tcdave

Well, 

The original cost or MSRV was $1395 so $279 doesnt seem that bad....  
besides the sounds are incredible. Consider this....You try sampling, 
editing, looping, and programming sounds/samples and you will 
understand that it takes alot of time for each sound.  Before I got 
my XL7, I sampled every sound on my EPS.  It takes ALOT of time to 
get the sample to loop right and to adjust timbre and all of that.

I would rather be composing than messing around with the technical 
end.  Just my thoughts.
