Just curious. I was really debating between the StudioLogic Sledge and the Prophet 12. Sledge has a lot of synth type sounds it can do and on the first oscillator it also allows sampling....would this ever be possible as an upgrade for a new OS for the Prophet 12? I know a few of us (including myself) were wondering if DSI would ever do a new sampler synth with analog filters....but this might be the best case scenario. It would also be nice to have a thread on here where we send each other samples that we trade for this implementation or to have DSI include a new soundbank with samples from the Prophet 2000 and newly sampled sounds from the DSI HQ. It would be nice to hear a Steinway piano sample layered with a linear FM DX style piano or have a stack of a snap bass sampled layered with a thick low supersaw.
Thoughts?
You don't need it anyway.
If you really want to hear a steinway piano sample layered with the Prophet 12, just layer it with another synth/sample player like Kontakt and you're done.
The sampling option on the Sledge is poorly implemented, so it's one of those features that sounds better on paper than it actually is in reality - though I suppose it could be handy from a live point of view if that's what you were thinking, but you'll be spending hours setting it all up.
