greetings,
I'm looking for a comprehensive set of soft synths and drum machines running on os x that will likely be compatible with what ever platform I eventualy decide to invest in (logic 5.3, cubase sx, digital performer) I have limited experience working with midi and am wondering if Reason 2.0 with a midiman usb keyboard would be a good way to go. Thanks all, W |

wonx... the ESX24 is just a sampler and no synths or sequencer and it is a VST plug instead of stand alone app. The ESX24 is not currently OSX compatible but should be soon. After having a EMU ESI2000 sampler for all of 6 months... I sold it because it was pain in the a$$ to use with a mac because it wouldn't read from mac CD-Rom and is not the best supported sampler in audio apps. I really wanted a good sampler and was about to get AKAI Z sampler for around $1300 and decided to go the soft-sampler route instead especially since I have a Tibook which becomes this awesome portable sampler that can output to 24 seperate tracks in Logic which is like having 24 cheap hardware samplers or 3 or 4 expensive samplers (with multiple outputs). Plus its much easier to program and setup the ESX24 compared to most hardware samplers I have seen.
