Guest karmad Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hi everyone I spoke about the Korg product :-) (thanx anyway) Does anybody know if the korg ES1 is good to make trance. I'm searching for psykedelic acid effects and sounds. Which sampler do you think I should get to have sounds like I love? Thanxxx.....Peace karmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeeperNETWERK Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 I really dont see the point of hardware samplers anymore. If your writting electronic music, your recording it on a computer of some sort anyways, am i right? You can save yourself alot of time and trouble cause you'd probably ripping the sounds off your computer anyways. Why not just leave them on your harddrive and use your harddrive as your sampler. Looking into Native Instruments - Battery (supposed to be a drum machine using samples, but can be used as a sampler as well), Native Instruments Kontakt, or Steinberg - Halion (kinda buggy and expensive, but works very well). Even if you ever buy music magazines... There's one called "computer music" and they make simple VSTi's, and produced a sampler. There is a CD on the cover of each issue with samples/demos/vsti's/etc... It gets the job done if your just looking to mess around. I mainly use battery for sample playback, but if i'm sampling full instruments i'll use Halion. Hope this helped. -andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pswe Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 hardware samplers often sound alot better.. better filters etc. + they dont stop working when the computer dies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeeperNETWERK Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 I dunno Pswe... If Karmad is looking at the ES-1, he probably wont be too impressed by the filters. The filters on all the Electribe series are pretty shitty. I have the EA-1, and rarely use it (only when i go on vacation, i pack this thing up with me to brainstorm while i'm away from my computer). I'm guessing Karmad doesn't want to spend 1000 dollars on a sampler like an Akai, where they are truely imperssive. Just get waldorf D-Pole ( they discontinued this thing, you can get it for 15 dollar at some shops) and run those filters on it. And there is no difference between hardware and software sound quality. It's the matter of your production skills and the quality of the original file. But the choice is yours...

Guest Bodhisattva Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 pswe: You can actually have the same qualitty but you need to invest in a good soundcard. I can make hardware songs and software songs and they both sound good! the mastering is the trick ! idd, if the pc, dies , the software also stops, but tell me, what if a plain hits your studio :-)? Buy all new stuff? or download your gear again and get up and running in a jiffie again! The es1 is quit good but i would not buy any hardware anymore, not for psy trance, unless you buy compressors or effects, synths or samplers you can use on the pc......

Guest Rikard Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 U obviously havent worked with hardware synthies. I agree that the sound can (but usually isnt) be as good from softsynths, but the diffrence is in the user interface. At least i find it much easier, faster and most of all its much more fun with hardware. But ure right about the soundquality, modern hardwaresynths are nothing else than a softsynth (computer) with a hardware shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
