| Roland S-Series (and JD-Series synth) filters are just amazing to me when it comes to strings/pads/atmospheres for electronic music production. Pair one of these with Roland SDX-330 and it is pure cream.
The E-mu E4 is worthy to be sure - I own two of their synths based on EOS architecture - but in terms of pure sound quality it doesn't compare well alongside the Roland.
I use a fully-blown Roland S-760, Yamaha A5000, and Elektron MachineDrum SPS-1UW for sampling. Love those Yamaha filters!
cheers,
Ian
