YEK Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 ok, first, my audio devices in my rig, yamaha dx-7 (also used as a midi keyboard , casio sk-1 for sampling, gameboy with nanoloop for sampling now as you may guess i want a rack synth for sampling, because my setup revolves around sampling i have a couple in mind but i'd like to know what is out there i was thinking maybe a novation bass station or a nord lead 1, what else goes for a good price, has good sound which would compliment my dx-7, and is perhaps an overlooked synth CHeerrss guys~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 what kind of sounds do you want from the synth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Im also curious why you would sample a bass station or NL1 when you could just sequence them .... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 because most synths only have 1 timbral, not multi, i don' konw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well the NL's are multi timbral, 4 parts I believe. Most VAs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten fingers ten toes Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well then use a hardware midi sequencer. You must be using one already anyway unless you're just playing keys on top of a drum loop live. You just are going to lose a lot by sampling a synth that way. I mean I used to do it back when all I had was a shit Alesis QS6 and Scream Tracker on my 386, but it's less than ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten fingers ten toes Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well wait why? I mean isn't the rs7000 a 16 track sequencer? No reason not to use it to sequence 4 voices of the NL along with the DX-7, plus you can MIDI sync Nanoloop to it to integrate that with your timing as well. I was just curious why youd want to buy a synth to sample it as it's just sort of limiting in terms of the stuff you can do with it while playing it, like filter sweeps and stuff, and also unless you do a ton of multisampling you also really limit the note range that sounds natural. Tempo sync'd LFO's won't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
