[net.music.synth] New Sampling machines

rwn@iham1.UUCP (Bob Neumann) (02/03/86)

With all the new sampling machines that were shown at the Winter
NAMM show, do any of them have individual outputs (like the EMU
Emulator II).  A sampling machine with up to sixty splits
would encourage the use of that machine as a percussion
source for pseudo-drum machine use.  Most professional drum
machines have individual outputs, to allow for separate 
processing of the bass, snare, etc (also a plus
for live performance). However, the prophet-2000, Mirage,
etc only have (at the most) two outputs.  

Any one have experience with custom modification of any of the
new machines to have individual outputs?

Also, at the NAMM winter show, was there a demonstration of
sampling data transmission across MIDI?  I heard that this capability
was being studied by he people at EMU and Sequential.
I believe that this capability will allow sounds in an E-II
to be transmitted to a prophet-2000, Kurzweil, etc. to be stored
and played from those respective instruments.
