E-mu Emulator Sampler User Forum for the EIII EII EI and EIII XP

Hi!

As I received my new DPX-1 yesterday, I tried a very interesting feature of its 2.2 OS:

As you know, the EII can transpose a sample only one octave up and down.
For people like me (I like deeeeeep sub basses) this may sometimes be too limiting.

The 2.2 dpx can transpose ALL sounds to infinity (up and down)! VERY useful to me...

Sorry if you already knew about this.  ::)

That sounds dope...because i would like to transpose my samples over the whole keyrange too...
are there any kind of quality losses when using the DPX for transposing???

Elm your S**t sounds so mellow...what kind of outboard effects do you use for your SP Drumsounds???=))

Peace

I consider the DPX as a rack mount EII without editing possibilities (except for the Filter frequency).
It sounds EXACTLY like the EII, as it's got the same output board (technically spoken). The only processing it does with EII banks is a conversion to 12 bits, as that's the DPX architecture. Sometimes it even sounds better. The SSM filters are the same. You can't hear a difference.
And transposing sounds dope, as you would expect it. Superb!


First, I use the SP's individual outs. EQ and mix all sounds in my Phonic Helix 24 Board. Use its internal effects as I like, as well as several reverberators (Alesis Midi I,II,III Micro III). Then subgroup them through a chain of Alesis 3630 comp., Typ C exciter, as well as a behringer 1951 EQ. Then send the group through the master insert which consists of an old behringer limiter and a Technics SH9010 vintage parametric EQ.

I have another group with a Roland DEP-5 ( :P lechz) and a Yamaha GC2020 comp which I usually use to record all the instruments in an overdub manner.
