I was just checking out some AKAI synth sample CDs over at Nicebeats:

They have samples from the MicroQ, Nordlead, AN1x, etc. for about $40 a CD. Has anyone here bought a title from this series?

The Audity 2000 looks v. cheap...

I've never uised them so I can't comment on the qua;ity. I couldn't find any patch demo's either.

They've also got a 7.6GB Halion grand piano and 7.6GB electronic keys for $65 each.

I bought a couple of these and was not very impressed. I have the jd800 ,and an1x. I've tried the original synths and most of the good sounds I remember were not sampled.

Your better of renting the original synths and sampling the hell out of them yourself.

HI

I have a similar experience, I found the FS1R set almost unusable and the Waldorf fared just as poorly.

In those cases the easy way of sampling had been done - sample 1 shot sounds/fx.

I think the EMU Audity was a bit better.

At the price you may have to ask yourself if a few dozen sounds are worth the price?

They do have a larger than life sound though - I remember thinking - software doesn't quite have this 'depth?' to it?

If I had the inclination to wade through them all I might still consider the bundle though.

Nicebeats AKAI samples - too good to be true?
