so anyway, I was raging mad, pissed of, at my lack of foresight in being able to predict the demise of hardware upgrades along with the base samplers.. So i had a search around ebay, music stores, second-hand music stores, etc etc....got even more pissed of..no joy. And then i started taking note of the price of complete second hand ultra samplers, in various states of upgrade. Alot of theses samplers were selling for roughly the same price as the 8 o/p expansion. I haven't thought through this properly . but if i got 2 samplers, e.g 2 emu e5000's, to what extent would they be able to work with each other?.... would they be able to share an IDE hard drive? ...... Would they be able to transfer banks, samples, presets to and fro with each other with not a huge amount of fuss via scsi? ..... would it give me 32 midi channels?
.... infact fuck emu (i'm still pissed) maybe i could get a Z4, what with variety being the spice of life an' all that. Hmmm......nah i love my emu
