Published on 11/29/13 at 14:54Vintage hardware sampler soon.
UTILIZATION
It is still quite complex to handle. Especially after period (hard to get back in "sample-edition-mapping" mode after 2-3 months stage where one does turning on the machine and a program loader) easy to use. Functions are so numerous that malgrés ease of access, it takes quite some time to achieve his ends.
SOUNDS
The sound is the strong point of the device. Even with piano samples that date, it will mix perfectly. The long curls better ring once loaded into the machine before. Blame the excellent converters (16 bits yet, like what!).
OVERALL OPINION
I bought this S5000 OCCAZ it 5 years. Since then, total reliability. I do not use it as a sampler. In fact I configured as three machines in one: a piano sound expander (noon A), a trigger loop, or even complete songs (Midi B samples 4 to 6 minutes) and a generator effect SansAmp, delays and reverb (happiness, I paske FX card!) using in all, 6 Outputs: 2 piano, 2 samples, 2 out FX.
Only downside in case of a power outage, it takes more than a minute to restart everything ...
This is so useful that I would never sell unit.
Musically. Verymuch.
