My decision is now leaning toward the Emu sampler for purchase but something tells me the Akai is the one for me? One of the most important things I was seeking in a sampler was the ability to run an external sound source into the sampler and have the filters and effects to work. Basically, I wanted the sampler to be able to do anything that it can do to it's internal sample to an external sound source! Can anyone tell me if this is possible with the Akai? If it is, I will probably pick one up because the EMU definetly can't! Lot's of confusion! Need help!!!!!!!!!Please!!!!!!
