Yes to a power of 10+ ... the ESX is the sampling unit is has 9 one shot drum parts , 2 scaled keyboard parts and then a (devides a longer sample into "slices" )Slice part and two Stretch parts (made for playing a whole drum loop where the speed can be varied whilst doing its best ot maintain pitch)
Thanks for that run down Philip, I must say that I reviewed the EMX earlier this year with a view to having an "immediate" improvisational addition to my set-up for adding synched but fucked up beats to my live looping improv.
I went instead for the Kaossilator Pro, thinking that in someway the kaos style was more ME, and more immediate. I must say that I feel I made the wrong choice. Although I use the Kaossilator daily, mangling its pedestrian sounds with an additional Kaos quad (very happy with, and my workhorse the alesis AirFX, and am pretty happy with it.
BUT its not doing quite what I had hoped. I am now thinking of selling it and getting a EMX.
I dont know if I have explained my specific needs, but do you think it may be what I would prefer?
