EMU RFX card

**fanu** · 4th November 2003

The case is I've been thinking of buying an output expansion option for my E5000 Ultra, but if I get the standard one, I won't be able to use it with the RFX card, which I do want to get someday....

Tell me about the RFX card.

Is it good?

Does it allow u to assign different amounts of effect(s) to samples within a preset? That's what would make a huge difference if compared to the standard EMU FX method.

Someone said RFX makes things a bit confusing....

Clear it all up to me, please

yeah ive heard that too.

but im pretty sure it must have its downsides too......

e.g., someone said on emusonacid that he has trouble making individual mono channels out of stereo pairs.....

someone experienced could give us a few words of wisdom here.

does blue have one?

right.

well, ive been thinking that i'd like to get one.....especially cuz everybody says it's the shit.

it presumably has very good-quality FX, which can be assigned to four sends. then each individual sample can be assigned to them and the send amount is given to each sample, not to outputs, as in a regular E-MU. if i had the RFX, i could spare my rack FX for something else and still fuck around with all the numerous possibilities, fx, etc given by RFX.

it's just that i need to hear more of it...i especially want to know if it makes things harder or more complicated

i gotta find some info reliable info about it on the net!
