Right out of the box, this sampler will knock your socks off. You get 9 sample CDs (vol 1 to 9 of the EIIIx library) and a bunch of sampled sounds already preloaded on the hard disk. From a very nice piano (one high and low velocity sample for every 3 keys on the keyboard) to outrageous sweeping pads, deep basses, and sounds that play differently (in a subtle way) every time you hit the same note, this box will get your creative juices flowing right away. There is a bit reducer, automatic looping tool (BeatMunger), Aphex Aural exciter, and a slew of fx... and tons more.
I got the Orbit/Phatt card with mine and the sounds are just phenomenal. You can save $1000 by buying this $200 card instead of getting the separate modules. There are more cards to come. I also ordered an ESynth card but have not received it from Sweetwater yet.
The EOS is so easy to use you hardly need the manual. Much easier to figure out than my Akai S2800 (or Mirage).
I like the convenience of buying an all-in-one sampler like this. For three grand, it is worth every penny.
