I find it interesting that people still do that. In the olden days, the reasons for this were to free up a hardware synth to be used on another part and - as you've all been discussing - to stabilise and enhance the bass sound since you could pick the best sounding notes as your samples. I guess nowadays it's the same except that it's to free up CPU rather than an entire synth. Also, samplers offer a final possibility for envelope shaping as well, which is sometimes quite useful. Or maybe it's a cargo cultrecursive one wrote:Also it seems that everybody but me resamples the basslines
