I'll be home next weekend; will see what I can dig up with regards to banks then.

Ah, a fellow samplist after my own heart, what with the octatrack and all (although I've read they've got quite a tricky user interface). Don't tell the modular synth folks the power they're missing out on by not putting the samplers front and centre. :) With regard to workflow, in my setup one ...

No that's my setup. And don't know where you're getting cables and monitors being $2000 from; more like $500. Yamaha MSP5's and $100 of cables and done. And microSAMPLERs are a bit more than $250 each; more like $500 each when you include shipping. So it's more like $3500 total. You're right in the ...

You will need: 2 x Korg microSAMPLER 4 x Future Retro Orb 1 x Kenton Merge 4 MIDI cables; TRS audio cables; Monitors The extra microSAMPLER mixes in through the audio in of the first and takes care of the limited sampling time and number of samples were you to use just a single sampler. The orbs ...

The intelligence of your workarounds certainly underline your point. My only personal dislikes are the overlight dials & the recessed buttons - certainly made me keep my fingernails short & learn the keyboard shortcuts quickly. I wonder how many have been sold to date- I woudn't think it's been a ...

early adopters were lobbying for a software upgrade to no avail to fix issues like the attack time. For which there are multiple workarounds, if you actually get to know the microSAMPLER, which I very much suspect many of these people never did. Here are some off the top of my head: 1) Note-on ...

I'm actually glad that there is no SD card slot on it. I'd soon get lost in the sea of possibilities that 4 GB or 32 GB of samples represents. And there would be no excuse not to keep such a card slotted in, haunting me with the possibilities I would be ignoring. I agree with Squarepusher when he ...

The only thing wrong with the MS is the people who don't know how to use it the way it should be used. :lol: If you read the user manual PDF before you buy it you would know exactly what it was capable of, before you buy. :wink: And for sonic capability, it has a far better dynamic range than the ...

So awful that I have two, and am seeking to buy two more. Are you considering selling?

I worked out how to "freeze" timbres with it today, a task that usually takes a dedicated plugin or guitar pedal to achieve. IMO the microsampler is an insanely powerful resampling tool, and a real underrated dark horse. I don't understand the negativity regarding it on this forum - it's absolutely ...
