1. Why limit yourself to what's already out there? When I arrive- it'll be my songs on the radio and MY drums become what the radio joints sound like.

2. Can I use a set of drums from another record? How recognizable ...and do I mean for it to be that easily picked up? Dudes snatch hits from other records, but I think the point is to mix and match so it aint obvious.

3. There are just so many options for drums now that I can't see that as my only choice.

You can get them as refills or wave samples and don't have to buy every record or download  a poor mp3. If you want to use a loop- you can do whatever you want there are no rules.

sample a drum line?

I wouldn't do that. Make your own beats.

It's the least you could do.

And I don't think it's so important anyway. It's not like today's drum sounds are so special they are hard to duplicate or create something similar. Hell, create something better.

I would rather sample for real and have all my sounds be original and always a growing library as opposed to getting locked into a Buy The Next Big Keyboard G.A.S. race. I actually like the sound of the earlier Yamaha synths when they were still exploring new sounds. The AN1-X is still a grand piece. Wouldn't give that up for a Motif ES+XS= excess

Now it's basically the same sounds in a differrent shaped box.

PS You changed the main page. It was better B4.

Reproduce the fat and resonant sounds of vintage analog synthesizers. This board gives you a synth engine similar to the one featured in Yamaha's amazing AN1x analog physical modeling synthesizer. It provides a full array of classic synthesizer components, including fat resonant filters, LFOs, oscillator sync and FM, as well as distortion, 3-band EQ, arpeggiator and step sequencer. For even more expressive synthesis control, it features a powerful "morphing" function and programmable envelope generator with which you can freely draw your own custom envelopes for various parameters. With the PLG150-AN, creating the classic analog strings, brass and bass sounds of the '70s and '80s is incredibly easy, making it the ideal plug-in board for producers of contemporary pop/rock music or modern electronic dance music.

What, do you work at Sam Ash? Maybe you're the guy I gave my purse to.

Maybe you hear libraries because that's what YOU use. Maybe the sounds are just similar.

I don't see how you'd memorize every drum hit to know. Drum sounds are processed DURING THE MIX so they don't sound the same. I'd be more likely to recognize a record on the radio being used since you hear it constantly.

maybe it's a plug if everyone uses Big Fish drum sounds.
