Sampler addiction?

[E.Simon]

i got a vestax handytrax got 33/45/78.

and yup i think i'm addicted to.

-MPC 2000 (gone)
-SP 303(2 x)
-SP 404
-MPC 1000

the pt01 is awesome.
it has 33 45 & 78 rpm settings
but if you jimmy the switch so it's half way between 33 and 45 you get something like 15 rpm. it's a dope trick. plus you can then slow that down with the pitch knob.

Ohhhh man i'm gettin one

Wow! You folks have made me feel heaps better about my gear fixation... Only got 3 hardware samplers (ESX, SP-606, MPC500), but I've messed around with the BR-600's toneload function to act like a sampler & used the hell out of Reason's NN-XT.

Wouldn't say I'm addicted, just compelled. Constantly.

It's all I think about...

...sampling...

*denial*

NN-XT rules. unfortunately i don't have the patience to trudge through it since i went hardware...

I sympathize. After using the hardware samplers it's really difficult for me to go back to Reason, Renoise, Reaper, or any sampler plugins. I have all this software right here on my laptop but still I reach for my XR20 (only piece of hw atm) before any of it. There's just something about dedicated hardware that makes the whole process more enjoyable to me.

Ha! NN-XT's nice to have with all its features, but yeah- its sucks to navigate after using hardware. Reason makes we wish that OS makers (Apple & Microsoft) would let you have at least 2 mice to use like hands. Who seriously only uses 1 hand to control their hardware? So why should software be limited like that?

*in before SHUT UP AND BUY A MIDI CONTROLLER*

I have, it sucks lining midi controllers to DAWS. Hardware rules.

Ormo thanks for the 15rpm hint

Amen to that hahaha. In many software samplers I really just can't get an acceptable work flow going, especially when the sequencing is done in my MV8800. I don't need the whole copy/import/export drama of transferring samples from one program to the next just to get marginally better compression or other FX. I can do most if not all of that inside the MV, sometimes using external hardware, so the MV will always be my main sampler.

It's also about a hundred times more intuitive than most software samplers, but I realize that's for most probably a matter of taste. I know plenty of cats who claim software will 'sample faster', but that's basically not really true. You're still going to go through the same steps to get your samples right.
