and i can tell you..no matter what bit rate you choose to use..it stills comes out to the way you want your samples to sound...a lower bit rate for grimey and gritty sounds..and a higher bit rate for crystal clear sounds....and i dissagree about the 900 and 950 being the same....because you have timestretch and other features that the 900 does not have..i often experiment with my s950 for the grimey jazz sample and the clear awesome drums on my mpc400 and i also make a nice long muffled bassline using my s5000 and the results are phenominal.  |
Like I said, the 950 is SOUNDWISE like a 900 but with more features......and the 16 bit ones do NOT sound the same as the 900/950/60 when you bit them down.......the old ones are just nicer for crunch. One old one and one new, say S5000/6000 or MPC4000 would cover everything nicely. Don't see why you would have any more. Have you got 8 arms?
