emusonacid!

lets say i want to resample with a VST effect, so basically i will be playing my emu sound into my soundcard effected by VST in realtime and the going out of my soundcard back into the emu, all in realtime.
can the emu record from its inputs while its actually playing?


how about resampling within the EMU, when i twiddle a knob or have added a cool effect?

thanks fellas
love the site, just wish there were more heads about.

Yes to both.

To resample from the inputs while playing:

From Preset edit, go to New Sample (Assignable Key 2 in 4.1 or earlier) From New Sample, set Source to Analog inputs. Now, you're set to sample - depending on which mode you want to use (Key Arm or Force), you can start sampling when a specific MIDI key is triggered, when the input level reaches a certain threshold, or just when you press the Force key. If you've got a lot of tracks going, Key would be tricky, unless you were sure the sound you wanted to sample was the ONLY sound that was on that MIDI key. Make sure monitor is off, or you'll get a feedback loop.

To resample internally, do the above, but set the Source to Internal. Use 18 or 20-bit if you find yourself clipping and need more headroom. I've actually never tried to resample while manually twiddling a knob, but it should work. If it doesn't just record the knob movements into a sequencer, then playback from that and resample internally. Keep in mind that internal resample only resamples the signal that is present at the Main outs, so you may have to do some soloing and rerouting of voices to resample this way.

Hmm, does that all make sense?

sounds like it makes sense, although i dont have my unit yet, i will try it out straight away.

its great to know that i can resample with VSTs in the chain, since i wont use the EMU for live performance, my VSTs will replace the need to have an RFX. resampling heaven!!!!!

thanks a million klaseed...
