I still love my Emu, but yes - I could very easily get on without it. Screw it all - Juice up your PC and start running smart software. That will give you just about as much out-of-the-box sampling time and just about the same restrictions for about $1500 less. If you're going to get an MPC you may as well get a Friggin' Roland SP-303. It's a modular synth with infinite routing capabilities at heart, you just provide the waveforms. The Filters are still untouchable in my opinion, and the Cords page is the gateway to straight-up sonic blasphemy. With the versatility of the Emu engine, you have some insane processing tools to work with. #2 is to use it as a place to make sounds. They all play samples, but the real question is what kind of processing can you do with them? A sampler is used for 1 of 2 things - #1 Is to loop a washed-up unedited break or trigger some sounds - (provided you can figure out how to load them) - Many can't.You'd be surprised - This makes up about 85% of the sampler-owning communty.

How do they pull off selling such a dated engine at that price ($1795 for 8-outs)? I'll tell you why - 'Because My Boy Down the Street Gots one'. Anything beyond that and you're asking too much. It's 'Good' ( no it's not) for only one reason that I can see - it plays samples.
