EB-20 effects: 4 bus, 2 MOD-series EQ and 2 bus dedicated to reverb
Connections:
at the top, TOP noon, converters (I am not saying because I do not like this kind of question), max 256MB memory (as a north electro 3 for example!) and internal HDD ...
Utility: AKASYS
UTILIZATION
simple clear and effective
It is not better sampler! simply (and I have seen past my hands.
only regret, the screen is a little under reactive to position the Trim gloalement but it is the best machine I had ...
SOUNDS
I do not like this type of question
icts adored the old 12 such as S950 and other EMU SP, were 12bits and converters with defects >> some say grain ...
good on the S5000 when in 12Bit sample, the result will not be that of a S950 because the converters are newer, more advanced with less defect.
But honestly, I got very good results with MPC 1000 and I must say that the outputs of the S5000 are the bomb!!
I'm a fan of stuff, but the usability of the S5000 bury all his predecessors ...
after if you want a different sound, and EMU are filters or roland and S770 / S760
OVERALL OPINION
samplers few months but I had a few and I still ...
most: well designed human-machine interface, import other libraries, connectivity has never been equaled and sample playback from the hard disk
least: why not have integrated sequencer GPA????????????????????? there is a SMF player but with even basic hardware sequencer, it was a machine in total. (EMU intgrait to the point yet at the time)
but I chippote.
small back (lived on prices), an S5000 today sells for around 120-150 euros without option.
250-300 euros with one or two options
but the real issue is the USB card if you have one: it's collector "ultra sought" to the point that some are willing to put 250 euros for this famous map ... (the price of sampler)
So if you buy an S5000, check the back of the machine before!
Basically a perfect machine, except without the built-in sequencer
EDIT: The rating I give seems strange for some reason so I categorically
June 2012: buying a S5000 for 160 euros without internal disk, without effect, without analog outputs, ZIP + + scsi CD-ROM drive SCSI cables + CD + many samples (original)
October 2012: buying a S5000 with USB and analog outputs for 200 euros
I know it's hard, but prices may go up in my opinion considering the quality of the machine.
