A sampler is a digital audio instrument similar to a synthesizer. It uses small pieces of recorded audio to create new sounds through complex processing.

I make instrumental free form sample based music.

I use both hardware and software samplers?

The Ensoniq EPS16+ circa 1991.

Ableton Live 11

None worth noting but I do use Max For Live. I don't think that counts though. Well maybe it does.

Whoa slow down there! I like them. Let’s not draw any unfounded conclusions now.

DIN Is Noise. I also like Kyma and Pigments and Phaseplant and a bunch more!

Nope. But I have this!

While many people have asked; The Carpenters SAW/DUST is specifically for those who still use floppies. They’re typically excluded from using modern sample packs and things of that nature.

It’s a chance to give Ensoniq floppy disk users something just for them. I suppose that’s a long way of saying that it isn’t available in any other format.

The Carpenters SAW/DUST is only compatible with the Ensoniq Trilogy Samplers (EPS Classic, EPS16+ & ASR-10). Despite that, The Carpenters SAW/DUST will load and play in the Ensoniq TS 10/12 synthesizers.

Both depending on which product you order. For physical products, an invoice/receipt will be sent to you along with the product. For digital items like the online manuals, you'll be sent a digital receipt only.

The Samplers Podcast is a weekly short-form podcast that looks at samplers and music life from the lens of a sampling artist. The episodes typically run between 8 -12 minutes on average with the exception of the special interviews that feature various people of interest.

NTSC/PAL is the video subscription service containing a growing library of music related videos. The nature of the videos range from vintage samplers all the way to livestreams vlogs and music business.

No.

No.

Yes. Sometimes. Other-times. No

No. Any insight into music education and learning is offered through the manuals and NTSC/PAL subscription videos available here on the website.

I personally am very sensitive to the psychoacoustic behavior of excessive compression on music. Because of this my overall preference is to use as little as possible if any. I find recordings sound much better that way.

Music is always first. I’m not a gear head and have very little expectations from musical equipment on a whole.

The best advice that I could give in this situation is the following: Any sampler that you consider bringing into your work environment in general should fulfill the requirements that you expect of it.

If you're not comfortable doing electrical maintenance; it's best if it's in near mint condition when purchased.

Be completely realistic about the pros and cons of working with vintage samplers.

Before You Buy A Vintage Sampler

Dawless Music - Hardware vs. Software Sampler Debate

Nope. That would fall under one-to-one counselling.

Yes! It's what I pay the least attention to! It is difficult though so everytime I think about it I refer to the question after this one.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! It's what I pay attention to!
