Emu E5000 Ultra 64-Voice Sampling Synthesizer Reviews
10 out of 10
"E-mu E5000"
This is not a very sexy instrument. It doesn't even look that cool. But it's a very good one!
This is because the E5000 simply gets the job done. So easy, and without making any fuzz about it. I thinkk that is what makes a good instrument; you just work with it and keep concentrating on the music, not the tools. Then, of course, one could argue that it lacks some personality. But, hey! there are tons of old machines out there screeming to be tweeked again! On the other hand, vintage gear really won't be the creative base in a studio environment of today. If you can afford just one sampler/synthesizer, or need a main engine in your studio, I would go for the E5000. I've had it for about a year and a half, and I won't sell -rather I'm planning on getting another one since prices are getting really good. You just can't get this much fire power at this low cost anywhere else!

"Best value for money sampler"
It is the only hardware sampler in the market that:
1) Can use an internal IDE hard-disk. This is very useful
since you can load up to 17 GB of sounds (that is more
than a dozen sample CDs) and your sequences. Thus, you don't
need to carry a CD-ROM drive and your disks to every gig you
go to. Great convenience!
2) It has a built-in 48-track sequencer. It accepts MIDI
files so you can write your sequences using a sequencer
software(Cakewalk, Cubase, etc.) and play the disk back
on your sampler when you travel on the road.
3) Sound quality is subjective but in my opinion, it is
comparable if not better than other samplers in the
market.
