anybody using an emu audity? are the basic waveforms up to standards as i have heard that a lot of them are samey. a demo in a shop can be very misleading. the voice achitecture looks sound as all emu products do. any other comments as i have a flameing wallet

If you get the Audity, you're gonna want to spend another 150 USD to get the system upgrade with the Xtreme ROM -- all the waveforms from Orbit and Planet Phatt -- and it's gotta go to E-mu to do it. You may want to wait for the XTreme Lead, which is premiering cheaper (Guitar Center had them advertised for 649 USD for all of March but I dunno if they're in stock yet) and will accept Proteus ROMs (2 of them I believe) or ROMs that can be burned with an E4 Ultra. The onboard ROM on the Audity has quite a bit of the standard synth waveforms, but it's what you can do with 'em rhythmically that's the selling point of the unit. A square wave or a sine wave or whatever is gonna sound better coming out of the oscillator on a real analog. Some people knock E-mu's Proteus-ish modules as having a grainy sound -- a low-mid boost and a high-mid cut can smooth that out. Hope this helps you.

I was going to purchase an Audity 2000 till I spoke with someone from E-MU. I was informed that their new Xtreme Lead Module will contain every sample from the Audity as well as having most sounds from the X Treme ROM upgrade shipped with it, as well as the 16 arpeggio's going at once. Needless to say after hearing this I have decided to wait to buy one of these

i dont think it is just the samples that make the audity what it is but the synthesis engine. you get vitual patch leads to emulate(!) a modular synth and everything can be driven rythmically via midi, lfo's, envelopes and many others. i will have to wait and see what happens.
