MPC 60 best sounding for sampling bass and samples?

I love that everyone sleeps on the EMU Emax... Sounds every bit as gritty as an sp12, for a fraction of the price.

I have never heard of this flat/classic mode before and I'm keen to know more. Can you or anyone else here provide more details on this please?

close but not quite. They are not the same, but yes you can get close on an emax.
