I plan to use my Mac as a sequencer. The question I have is can I sample my own sounds with MacRecorder, and then have them available on the sampling keyboard? Is it that easy? The keyboard has a 3.5" disk drive, but I doubt that it can read Mac formatted disks. What is the process of sampling sounds with a digitizer, then porting them over to the sampler. If it's too difficult, I think I'll just get the synthesizer, since I can create more complex sounds with it than with the sampler. BTW, the two products I'm looking at are a Kawai K1 synth, and an Ensoniq sampler. Please e-mail! Thanks! -- "Insolent boy, this slave of passion, David W. Humphrey Basking in your glory!
