- 64 times oversampling is silly. (???)
- What do they need with that?
-
- Besides, you can get a Ensoniq EPS (which is 16-bit, I believe) for 999
- bucks from some music stores. I bet you could find some poor
- keyboardist trying to sell his Kurzweil 250 for that much.
- In fact, to prove my point, I'll look at what can be bought,
- from the calssifieds in a KEYBOARD magazine:
-
- Roland S-10 = 469 dollars.
- Roland S-220 for 529 dollars,
- Ensoniq EPS for 999 dollars,
- However, that Fairlight Series IIX+ selling for 6,300 is out of
- my price range.
-
- That Sunrize cards advanatge is that it can play from the hard drive,
- but it isn't a full-fledged synth/sampler.
-
- Oh yes, the first three samplers I listed can be bought
- at Rogue Music, (215)629-3708 or FAX:(212)947-0027.
- From their AD in the August 1992 (Wendy[Walter] Carlos on the cover) edition
- of Keyboard Magazine.
