That's what sprang to mind while I was reviewing Emu's effects processor card for its Ultra-series samplers. The accompanying advertising suggested that filling your motor with said brand would turn your pootling little sedan into a supercharged race machine. When I was a lad, the slogan of a certain petrol company whose name I can't mention here simply because I've forgotten it rather than out of any coyness, was "Put a Tiger in your tank".

So, at the end of the day, if you prefer the sound of E4XT converters, by all means get it.The market for hardware samplers may be on the wane, but Emu aren't abandoning their hardware customers their RFX32 effects/mixer card can add tremendous processing and routing power to any of their Ultra samplers. no night and day difference, but a tad clearer, less noise, more accurate in heavy polyphony/controller sequencing. i had it for 4 years, then i switched to E4XT ULTRA. quite interesting threads, especially those posted by Nika.Į4XT has just slightly less detail in HF area. if you need more info on converters and 'warmth' visit GM forum archives at. There are schools of thought that claim 16bit bass sounds best (punchiest) thru 16bit converters, but i wouldnt go that far in this discussion.

That itself has nothing to do with 'warmth'. Unless you mistake clarity brought by extra bits and newer generation converters in ULTRAs as less analog.

but there is no grounds for such difference in between EOS samplers family. first of all we're talking digital devices, that all have the same digital filters and digital summing dsp, aiding in perciveved quality and warmth compared to other samplers (like akai, yamaha.). There's absolutely no reason for 'warmer' or more 'analog' sound. Look, for the last time, as i told you in your other thread: they are all exactly the same, except for the speed of operations due to faster motherboard and CPU (Coldfire RISC), and have updated converters.
