Will do, Rev -- I'll let you know when it's done -- probably a coupla weeks. Thanks again. This is going to be very, very cool.

what's good for Giga... OK, I checked out the Giga site and picked a bunch of brains-- I am definitely sold on Giga. So much so that I am now going to do the unthinkable-- buy a (shudder) PC-- you see, I have been a Mac man for a decade, but Giga doesn't ride on Macs. So now the question is...

Thanks, Ed Much appreciated. Especially the part about compression attack/ release stuff, i.e. the basics I don't yet know. I am surely gonna be rereading this thread.

thanks all, and farewell, my Virtuoso Alas, poor Virtuoso. It has gone back from whence it came... that is, from "Ash to Ash". But wait, Rev! Is there any advantage AT ALL to using sound modules for what we want to do here? Or, in your opinion does Gigasampler + software sequencer = the...

made of $ Thanks saxman, actually I ended up getting the Lexicon PCM 91. Good thing I'm MADE OF MONEY. Now saxman, I'm getting a little hungry... can you spare five bucks?

Much obliged, Rev E Rev -- Thanks so much for that informed recommendation. Actually, I recalled muffled utterances, and such words as "samples" and "Gigasampler" whilst I desperately picked the Sam Ash rep's brains, as he simultaneously crammed the sound module down my unsuspecting gizzard...

Yeah but... Say, N.S.-- how would you think this workstation compares to a computer, say a G4 with some software-- i.e. Performer, Logic, etc.? I heard from Sam Ash reps (not that I necessarily believe them) is that the only real advantage of a workstation is mobility, otherwise a computer is...

I just got one on Ebay anazgnos-- I've actually been in the market for esoteric reverbia and I checked out this thread a couple of days ago. After a spot of heavy drooling over the rave review chain you started I just couldn't control myself any longer, and I just dun went out an' bought me...

Hey boys and girls, I just picked up a Virtuoso 128 (EMU/Ensonic) module from Sam Ash NYC because I thought the orchestral sounds were quite cool, especially the strings. I liked them better than the Roland's. The knobs gave some interesting effects as well. I have about a week left to return...

Thanks again folks. I think I have narrowed things down a bit. It looks like either the M-1, or a used PCM 80-90 will be the winner, and I'll be down about 1K!

Thanks again gener1c -- thank you for the discussion on Paris. I've heard really good things about it, and it seems like they are taking a nice bite out of the Pro Tools market. But I really wish I didn't have to upgrade my Mac (6500). I just don't feel like shelling out 3G's for another...

much obliged, sonusman Thanks Ed, for the reverb feedback. I almost decided on picking up the MPX 100, cause it's so cheap. But, it seems like it's just not worth it. Thanks also for clarifying the algorithem & bits issues. - Jerry

So I guess I am gonna pick up a Lexicon, to complement my soon to be purchased used Roland Space Echo. So the question is, do I go with a used PCM 70?, a used PCM 80?, a used 90 each at the $1000-1400 range? OR how bout a brand new PCM 91 @ $2K? --OR-- the MPX 100 @ $200 or MPX500 @ $400...

camn- On the Roland Space Echo, does the model matter that much? I put a bid on an RE-150, but there were also Re201's and SRE-555 available, and duh, I didn't notice the numbers till after I bid.

Much obliged, all-- I didn't mention that the Manny's rep had dittoed Camn's strategy of half computer/half analog effects, as well as CyanJaguar's recommendation of a good pre amp as well. I will be looking into digi001, Motu2408 mkii, Delta 1010, and echo layla. Thank you Camn for the...

I am a programmer by trade, so using a computer is easy for me. Up until a couple of years ago I had been having quite a bit of fun sequencing with Performer/Mac and a roland synth. Most of what I did I might describe as movie-music-ish, a little jazz and classical and avant-garde. I wanted to...
