Hi Hollowcell,
I know its hypocritical of me to talk up software when I have virus
but its surprising how close the sound is if you take the time to match Live's drum racks with a hardware sampler. New to live 7, the drum racks give you complete control over drum samples including putting the effects inside the rack. A portable instrument you can move from project to project. No need for a third party plugin. Plusses - its enormously powerful and can copy 99% of the character of hardware. You can stick in synth generators instead of samples. Minusses - a ton of parameters to control all by mouse and the way it hides and shows sections is a tad confusing.
The MPC was programmed in around 30 minutes. The copy in drum racks is almost complete after 2 days
Oh, I guess that is another minus...
If you sequence in software, perhaps sampling can be software as well. I don't think a TI can be done in software, of course!
Cheers,
B
