At the core of the video samplers are Macintosh Quadra 950 computers running software created specially for EBN by Mark Marinello at AVX Design. Audio/video samples can be playing on a keyboard or other MIDI instrument, and the performers are not limited to just triggering loops to start. The pitches of the audio can be controlled, and the sounds can be played backwards, bent, and altered in other ways. The system currently allows four minutes of video, made up of many smaller pieces, to be manipulated. New data can be loaded into the computers for each song, and the group will eventually upgrade their system to hold 16 minutes at a time. For EBN, the video samplers are making all the difference in the world, as they are the ideal tool for the type of compositions they create.

"We came up with this in kind of a back backward way, recreating what it would be like if a video sampler existed," explains Post. "People thought we had one. This album was produced with our simulation production method, and our next album will be produced using these new techniques. We're focusing on making the beats out of found video clips, rather than break beats or audio sequencer."
