*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR DIGITAL SAMPLE ***

Regarding sampling machines that are cheaper than the Emulator II,
a friend of mine at a local music store 
mentioned that Kurweil is coming out with a $5,000
machine, but the release date is not finalized.  

For those of you out there that have Drum Machines that have 
interchangeable chips, Simmons has an EPROM Blower that allows
users to do their own samples and automaticlly write the
samples in EPROMS that are then inserted into
the appropriate Simmons equipment, etc. I do not know if the chips can
be used with a Drumtraks, Linn Drum, etc. The Simmons EPROM blower
can be purchased in Chicago for around $400.00.

I own an Oberheim DMX but was informed that chips that are burned by
the Simmons EPROM machine will not be compatible with the DMX.
I was also informed that a machine similar to the Simmons EPROM
blower will be available from Oberheim within a month.
