Anyone have some interesting tips?
I am on a sampler buying spree again, for when I get the urge to go full-on hardware. To answer your question, how I use my samplers depends on the sampler itself, although I tend not to bother these days and have a few software cheats:
In a nutshell - it's all about the sound, and that is down to a few things: the converters, the sample engine, and features.
I use my Akai S612 for colouring synths and pads. The analogue filter and the loop-point slider allow for some nice touches. I would love to do the same thing if I had a Emulator I or II.
Breaks and loops - I love my S1100 - 24-bit internal processing and the sound. Similarly my S1000, although it doesn't have the fx and digital outputs so I use it even less (it's available to a subvert for mates rates
). I've got a S950 and S3200 potentially lined up, but not sure - and the reason is for the converters, and the sample engines: 12-bit for S950 a la MPC60, silky smooth 16-bit a la the MPC3000 for the S3200.I would love an E-Mu SP1200 for beats.
