Haven't we mocked the cowbell enough now? Of course Max 4 Live can't give you a proper cowbell!

Word on the street has it that Propellerhead software is about to release a hypersampled cowbell
refill, using a wide range of high end microphones. I'm still not entirely convinced, but I'll
give them the benefit of the doubt. I have yet to hear a sampled cowbell that has the clarity of
a real, live CB.

Forget VSTs or hypersampled refills - hardware is the only way to go

If you're a serious cowbellist then you owe it to yourself 'and your art' to get one of these...

Incidentally, although the digital model is very versatile, my cowbellist colleagues agree that the analogue Radmonkey sounds much 'warmer' and 'phatter' :)

hi guise,

now, I know digital will never sound as good as a real analogue cowbell, but I can't really afford any more hardware right now. Was wondering, which will help me get a warmer cowbell sound from the Ableton? APC40 or Launchpad or Monome?
