the screen copy by Atom is a very good sum up of the situation. Where can you find a comprehensive music studio in one soundcard? Only creamware offers - included now with its soundcards - many professionnal synth, effects et tools. I have nothing against vst instruments but , honestly, creamware has offered me all i need : power, flexibility, sounds. Of course, you need mores dsps guy but but remember that every plug you will need (vst for e.g.) will cost you 150 to 400€ whereas a brand new scope project with synth, effects, in/outs (why not teh aes-ebu version for digital) costs 900 €. I find it quite cheap. All the other brands just give you in/out, few effects and that's it. Just my opinion....

I wanted the Emu 5000 but 128mb vrs. Gigastudio, hmmmm, let me see,....Giga. I got tired of driving to San Francisco to trade EIII,and EIV samples. However, they sound good in Giga. Remember the sample Fairlight Moods?

I use to use 4 x Oberheim DPX's with my EIII remember those? They played different sample formats, especially EMU FD's. I was so busy loading discs in between songs that I could never do that live again. Once you play Giga/Scope,You can't say nope.

At Least We Agree On Scope, Eh Mate,

Yeh, I remember those :smile:

So anyway, since when did 128mb ram limit on a sampler become a big hinderence? 10 years ago you could easily get a 3/4 hour live set out of an S750 with 18mb of ram, a couple of synths, a drum machine, some FX, an MDF2 or MC-50 & a mixer. Image
