* From Chris A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I just got my Rm1X back from a friend who wanted to have a play round
with it since i didnt have the time when i initially purchased it.
I,m only using the internal sounds in the Rm1X at the moment since i
dont have any other sound modules other than a CS1X( but i cant have
more than one of the decent performance sounds playing at once). I,m
considering buying a sampler to use as my sound module. I have looked
at two different samplers today whic are the Akai S2000 and the Yammy
A3K. The Akai retailed at $1900 (australian dollars) and the Yammy at
$3995, which is a huge amount i thought. The Akai apparently comes with
no effects and only the one output. I was quoted $700 and $600
respectively for those two upgrades which possibly included the memory
up to its maximum 32MB. The Yammy comes with Effects and 4 outputs,
though an extra cost for the memory upgrade. Which is a maximum of 128
MB.
I was quite surprised at the high price of these units, it sort of threw
me back for a while thinking this is becoming a rather expensive hobby u
could say.
Ok i guess my questions are,
1. Will a sampler be enough as my only sound module? , coz its the only
thing i am going to be able to afford for a long time
2. What are your views/comparisons of the two samplers i spoke of?
3. How much memory do u really need in a sampler? Would 32 MB in the
Akai be restrictive?
4. What about software based samplers? My PC isnt currently set up for
music applications but would it work out cheaper, would i be able to do
more or less? All this hardware seems to be costing me a fortune.
(I,ll send another posting about the best PC setup i should use)
Thanks
Chris.
