For an Oldhead like myself, this jawn took me way way back lol! Almost every other time I sit down and cook up a beat, I think about the limitations, but at the same time, the beauty and creativity that we had, making dollars outta 15 cent. Thank God for the new technology, but respect the architects of our culture!!! Salute Kirk 🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Thank U Brother for All The Lessons… I’m Truly Learning from U… I Appreciated The Video’s…
Exclusive No Doubt
I love these techniques. I'm 46yrs young and this was a great trip down nostalgia lane. Thanks for that fam! Truth, technology has made folks lazy 😂
Like , the speedup and slowdown old school tech
I never stopped sampling the old school way. Even with a million seconds sampling time. 😁👍
Anybody remember saving/loading samples/programs from SCSI hard drives and SCSI CD-ROM drives? Terminating a SCSI chain? SMPTE time code? MIDI time code? Sticks of RAM being too expensive to upgrade your gear? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
I remember fo sure, still have the scsi and I remember putting ram in my ASR10
that's my dude!! KIRKSTATE KIRKSTATE!! TRUST ME HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!! BEEN KNOWING THIS GUY SINCE I WAS 13 YEARS OLD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My friend 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾I salute you always
A lot of folks say the legacy samplers had a sound because it was 12-bit which is true somewhat. But that gritty ass boombap sound came from the combo of low bitrate and the sample being sped up so fast to save sample time and having to pitch it down which just destroyed it and gave it that crunch. Along with the built in compression and converters. I guess if you rally has paper you could pair a sampler with an s950 for like 10 more seconds of mono sample time.
Yes Sir! Got me smiling because necessity was the mother of our sampling creativity.
Floppy discs, scsi drives, scsi IDs, kid NEPRO libraries…….. yeah man memories lol
Love this. Dead Prez Vibes when that synth came in
Take em to school boi 😎
PREACH. These Youngins spoiled! All good tho. Long as its fire I don't care how you get there. Salute Bro!
I appreciate you making and showing the youngsters old-school type of beat construction , we made something out of nothing…. And still can.
Sounds like old school COMPANY FLOW 💎💪💪💪
How are U doing today Brother…???
I was able to find a video on TH-cam today and was able to figure this thing out…
I’m up and running!!!
AMEN
THANK U KING JESUS
I’m ready to learn now Brother…
Yesssss
I’m Totally New To the SP-404mk2… I am a Beginner When It comes to Chopping Up Music and bringing it all together as My own Masterpiece... I’m going to Truly LOVE putting all together… I just have to figure out the Sp-404mk2 and keep watching your videos and maybe two more Brothers, that’s Truly Teaching out there…
Again, Thank U for Teaching… I Truly Appreciate It… I’m Ready To Learn Now Brother…
You’re The Master
And
I’m The Grasshopper
BLESSED

Truth is we are spoilt rotten nowadays.
I wish they just make all the old gear connect to the computer I use my zip my external zip to mpc studio so I’m still using my 2000xl to chop man the old gear is better to me
Ipad, Koala sampler headphones, experience and a creative mind is alll that it can take to bang out decent beats.
Yes sir hit em Mantronix style with and whith that whistle sample ..I see you ..K
Appreciate you 🙏🏾
May Yahweh bless you and your channel brother
God bless you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
One word GENIUS this coming from a Old head
SP 202 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAMPLERS
I got a Roland Verselab because it's got a built-in old school sampler, you have to chop your samples by ear, no waveform display. I love it!
Been wanting one of those . They look 🔥
KS always cooking.
Thank you!
these "shortcuts" added all that character we recognize as 80s/90s. just like sampling only one note of a synth often made it sound like old-school house. great walkthrough.
The bit depth of the samples, also contributed a large amount of sampling's character, back then. Many machines sampled in 12bit, instead of today's 16+ Some of the most prized vintage samplers, are 12bit.
Your absolutely correct and You just gave me an idea 💡 lol, sampling in 12bit coming up next 😉
@@kirkstate Nice!!! 🤩
@@DetroitMicroSound oh yeah true! to me it gave it a dry rounded sound. felt more organic somehow.
@@houseoflatin To me it sounds chunky and gritty, but creamy all at once... Chunky Peanut Butter!
Man Brother Kirk, tell these youngins what it was. Those old boxes sound good but you had to work around those limitations and that create some beautiful accidents. I still got my MPC3000 that I bought new from the store. I love my Live but I LOVE my 3000.
yeah OG you got a sub here. thanks for the game you didn't even have to give, this changes so much imo. we truly are spoiled in my generation. efficient, raw, colorful, eternal.
An OG Masterclass in 13 minutes. I'll take it.
I remember doing that trick on a casio SK-1. It only had 2 second sample time if i remember. It may have had only 1 second lol. Speeding up record by spinning it manually by hand.
Beautiful
My first sampler way back was a Casio FZ1 and man did we have to work a sample ,pitch it ,trim it, copy it ,filter it. A lot of effort went into maybe just a 2/3 second sample and then we had to get creative with it and after all that we were committed to making it work and this really made us learn our craft . Great days, with today’s amazing equipment which I love ,it can make us all a bit lazy because if something ain’t happening we can just chuck it away and start again all in the space of 2 minutes. Never stop learning people as everything that sounds good to you is what it’s all about no right or wrong,enjoy your skills and let the music flow. Much love kirkstate great channel
Word em up Kirk. Also I love the footage at the end.
Thanks …Dug into the archives on that lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣72 Hours of sample time.. Spittin Facts..
Nice one .. i gotta do this all the time to sample in my OP1
OP1 is a beast 🫡
Loved every second🔥
I started on the Ensoniq ASR 10 with a SP 12 Turbo. I definitely was speeding records up.
Asr10 was my first real sampler
bro you are killing it family lol
Just found your channel, you gotta be from Maryland 😂
Nice work, Sir! If the X had a floppy drive I bet you coulda fit that whole beat on it. So much great music came from limited tools that were pushed to their limits. You also saved time on the back end because when you re-pitched the edited samples, they had the correct lo-fi flavour baked in due to how you sampled them.
Real talk! I'm about to get my ASR out of storage.(I know I should be shot for having such piece cooped up) I could never get my zip drive to work with it so I'm still gonna have be using all the regular Floppy's,
I can already hear the JEOPARDY TUNE playing in my head.
Masterful skills my guy keep banging this dope content schooling the young bucks on how we really get down
Dope Beat
Facts 🎯 💯
Dope vid professor. Definitely my cup of tea.
I recently got the Liven Lofi 12 by sonicware. Which it's purpose is to emulate older hardware even with the egg shell color look. 2 to 4 sec sampling time. 4 secs if you sample at 12khz. When you get the hang of learning to do more with less. Your creativity is literally endless.
My old skool machine was the Gemini 808 & later SP-1200 for cleaner sound ....i would use these machine for.when i haf to put together "DMC Wold Supremacy" mix competition. For anybody dont know whats a DMC competition was.....the best way i can put it is remember the movie "Juice" ? Where "Q" scratched against "DJ Majesty" from "Da King & I"....i would create my own scratch breaks. I liked to turn up the BPM to like 118, then add my scratches, my vocal chops, my 1 sec stabs, & alot hard drums. Those older machines made great hip hop beats yae check them out ....
🎧🎹🎤🎧🎹🎤
Do you think the DMC is still creative ?
@@kirkstate Oh yes....not so much today but in the 80's DJs like Jazzy Jeff, Joe Cooley, DJ Aladdin in LA, DJ Miz, DJ K La Boss from EPMD ...& Many more.....
Happy I found your channel. Dope content.
Yep, 45 and +8 on the 1200 gives you way more sample time. Used this on the eps before I got the asr.
Great content. Sp 202 is dope
Yes sir 🫡
I was reminiscing those trips you Ed and me to the city to NY jewelry 😅😅😅
Love your content. Real skillz here and not complaining. Learning new cool stuff here.
When I got the first maschine I was so shook. Straight up lost in everything I could do with the 16 pads now
🖤
🔥
Dropping Gems💎💎💎
I absolutely agree with you homie, I remember using the Casio RZ-1 and it only had 2 seconds on each pad to sample the kick and snare or high hat, and we ran with it!!! Lol!!!
Turbo and Taco!
I used to do the same with my Ensoniq ASR 10. Then I would lower the sample rate to 13.0 and that would also give me more sample time.
My first sampler was the Yamaha VSS-30. I was twelve, when it came out. The Roots always mention the Casio SK-1, but the VSS-30 did a lot more than the SK-1, by far. I've had many samplers since then, including the SP-202, Akai S900, and Yamaha SU700. I have probably one of the tiniest samplers on the market right now, the Nunomo Qun mk2. It's nuts. It'll sequence granular samples.
Ohhh ok , I’ve never seen the Nunomo and I just looked it up. It’s interesting 🤔 💯
Ok for sure, I’ve watched a couple videos already and it’s something I can use
@@kirkstate 👍 I love both of mine, the Qun mk2, and the SmplTrek. SmplTrek just got even better, and shed a few more bugs with V.2 firmware, too. Competition in the sampling world, is starting to ramp up again, and I'm here for it dude!
Thanks bro a lot of us don’t really know that technique tho✌🏾
🙏🏾
Gotta sun for the old head
Learn something new every day. Is that dirt style wax?
Exactly, Dirt Style is great for sampling, I’ve made a thousand and one songs off it lol
@@kirkstate bionic booger breaks was the first one I got
I was gonna say, I'm fittin to connect my Live2 with my ASR10. I want to see if when I sample from the MPC I can get some of that ensoniq warmth. I'm going to get heavy into it (ASR10). I'm so behind in workflow on both, but after seeing the speed and timing of others work on the 10 or the live I have an idea of how it can be done.
I'm considering hooking my ASR 10 to my SP 404 MK2 and REALLY get grimy.
while not as much as a 12 bit or 8 bit sampler, this technique does still add a little bit of grit to the sample on the new mpcs
if you flatten it at high speeds, pitch down - rinse and repeat it will ABSOLUTELY get extremely gritty
can you take a program and use levels?
Lol 72 hours of sample time. But yeah 💯 facts this video
💎💎💎💎
D' cenT$$$
What’s that record you sampled
😮🔥
I Think The Reason Why Songs Were Better Back In The Day Was Because of The "WORDS & STYLES OF EXPRESSIONS" On The Track, NOT THE SOUNDS... Nowadays The BEATS And SOUNDS Are Clearly BETTER, But The Lyrics Are Too Similar From One Artist To Another, In Other Words "LESS ORIGINALITY" ! These New MPC'S and Alike Are NEWISH So In Due Time People Will Start Focusing More On Content Because Now Its Easier To Make A GOOD BEAT.
Now sample YT videos @ 2x
Tell me you're from Baltimore without telling me
what's aol? lol!
😂😂😂
We know man. No need now with so much sampling now.
"You HAD to be creative" - and that is why most producers nowadays do not have their own sound. Everyone's production sounds the same with exception to a handful. The negatives about having all this technology is that is has taken away peoples creativity and all a producer has to do now is drag and drop a midi file, and 10 times out of 10 they only rely on the sounds in their DAW.
beat came out very punchy
🫡
ILL
I appreciate this and love learning about how it was done before but the whole point of technology is not for you to go back and do things like the old way. That defeats the purpose right? Don't get me wrong, this is not hate or nothing like that. I'm just saying the whole point of technology is to improve or streamline certain processes.
We made it work and it was easier because hardware sounded amazing. I could fart into my ESI 32 and make a bass that shakes the plaster off the ceiling. These post 2003 akai boxes got no bass and even doing the 78 trick has not worked imo imo. It's not a great sound. Closer in the midrange, but no proper weight imo.
hmmm
theres def allot of whiny beat makers!
🤣 your thumb nail was the first thing I saw, opening YT. Ish is on point. Always appreciate the insight of Sensei Kirk State 🥷🙏
😂😂thanks
Peace Golden era secret sauce.😂✌🏽🫡
☮️ 🙏🏾 gotta pull out the old recipes once n awhile lol
@@kirkstate 🤣😂🤣 like mama’s home cooking or like boricuas say if it’s Goya it gotta be good.
theres tons of work arounds to alot of non mpc samples too. when i just had a model samples you can make a long track with various drums and save tracks by using start time as sample selection, then have 3 or 4 other tracks to add 808 or synths, model samples an overlooked unit but can do some amazing things, i have an mpc live but if i had to get rid of it id fall back to that or daws.
People used to use rocks to wipe there ass but I prefer toilet paper.
Please don’t demo that 😂
