I haven't spent much time with it myself really. I've just switched over from using Ableton Live onto Cockos Reaper and needed a sampler and came across this.

Sorry to bump a thread from a few weeks ago, but Ive just seen a cool vid from Spectrasonics YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wChJEr-y5nM Its an ipad app, but Eric drags over Omnisphere, Trillian, Stylus RMX - then the interfaces for the instruments are touchsreen capable on the ipad ...

Im just wondering if anyones got any ideas or thoughts, now that touchscreen technology is commonplace?? (ie mobile phones, and the like). Ive loved the look of the Jazzmutant stuff for ages but its quite a high end buy, even though I am tempted. Ive just stumbled across this, which looks ...

Might be worth contacting studioracks, for a basic quote:

I got a rack cabinet from them, & am going to get a second when ive filled this one up.

If you look at the photos on the custom page, theres a few desks & workstations for inspriation.

These samples are pretty decent, especially for what you pay for them:

I think i got the rocksticks kit, after trying out the free 'big mono'.

Not bad for $25.
