Members The Real MC Posted June 19, 2006 Members Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've got plenty of analog and plenty of Romplers - Kurzweil 1000PX, 1000SX, 1000HX, and 1000GX all fully loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joystick Posted June 19, 2006 Members Share Posted June 19, 2006 I like anything which makes cool sounds.I don't give a {censored} if it's a ROMpler or synth.As long as I can do some tunes with it,who gives a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 I use analog VCO, analog DCO, FM, and PCM - solo, modulated, layered, clean, whacked, whatever... as long as it sounds good and fits the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bquarrie Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 Triton Extreme / Motif ES Rack. A very nice combination. Driven by the Extreme's sequencer too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tucktronix Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 For me, a ROMpler is essential for the type of music that I do(funk, blues, soul, jazz/ fusion). I use the Yamaha S80, Hammond XB2 and Yamaha EX7 for gigs. For my home setup, I mainly play the patches from Reason's NN-XT and use the MicroKorg whenever needed.

Members Pawnz Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 I use a Triton-Pro and Motif ES-R, counterbalanced with a Nord Lead 2-R. While the ROMplers provide most of the sounds I utilize, I need the VA to more closely approximate the analog stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bones Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 Originally posted by Meatball Fulton I've used ROMplers for years. I could give a rat's ass that someone else thinks they suck. I've heard plenty of piss poor analog, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unfed Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 i guess my E-mu e4X could be considered a ROMpler/workstation if needed. not sure exactly how reliable the internal sequencer is, but i've heard of people using it exclusively. honestly, sometimes i wouldn't mind having something like a Roland XP-50 sitting around.

Members clusterchord Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 i use JD990 because its so much more a digital synth than a ROMpler. for similar reasons, i proly wouldnt mind K2600. again, synthesis and tweakage posibilities are substantial. for sample playback with some nice midi cc routing, matrix mod n filtering, i use e-mu E4XTU. for all other, straight ROMpling duties (like for acoustic piano, ethnic or orchestral sounds) i use only VSTi Kontakt and huge sound libs like EW stuff, Vienna etc. for this app, quality of samples in the hardware romplers just aint cutting it for me - too small memory, not enough mutlisamples/velozones etc. all in all, live gig is one thing, but i really dont see a point in studio, that has a decent number of digi/analog synths and a selection of sound libs, having a big workstation style ROMpler, at all.. it gives you a lil bit of everything, but masters none. i had my share of those and sold all..

Members mwalthius Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yep, I've got a Yamaha Motif and a Roland JV1080 (with multiple expansion cards) that I can never convince myself to get rid of. I love my Access synths, and softsynths too (currently having a riot with MOTU's Ethno), but you can't beat the romplers for bread and butter sounds.

Members XorAxAx Posted July 5, 2006 Members Share Posted July 5, 2006 I use an Alesis Fusion 6HD for ROMpling and other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eminor9 Posted July 5, 2006 Members Share Posted July 5, 2006 Roland Fantom is main rompler/controller in studio.Keeping a Yamaha S30 in the closet, selling it at current prices would be pretty silly, besides Yamaha beats all Rolands, including their expansion cards, in pianos, epianos, clavinets.
